Steve Bruce?

The writing has to be on the door for NW, I feel the board will lurch to the end of the season and then cut him. There is no doubt that the board see what we do every week and can't be happy about things, but publically have to stick by their 'man'.

It's always a question of who could come in and take us forward. It seems pretty likely that Steve Bruce will be leaving Birmingham come the end of the season and he fits our criteria - young(ish) and ambitious, tactically aware, well networked, won things at a high level, motivational...being an ex-player doesn't hurt his chances either.

When the Norwich job does come up it's going to tempt some very good names in the game - nice ground with good attendances, money in the bank and a quality squad with some good youngsters coming through.

Come the start of next season, with a new manager and some spring cleaning, things could be very healthy for us.
