We have always said we will protect this from the plight of horrendous situations at other clubs who have gone into administration because they borrowed money and built up debts. They wake up one morning and the bank manager says 'I want my money back' and you go out of business or into administration. We would never allow that to happen at Birmingham. -David Gold

I've always felt that an Englishman should lead the national team because they would have a greater commitment and connection to the supporters. If they want to approach Steve I would not stand in their way. It would break my heart for Birmingham City but I would be very happy for Steve, who is a terrific, honest manager.

Our history tells you over the last 13 years of the Gold and David Sullivan [era] we are there in the hour of need and I guess that might well be the case come the window. But we have to treat the issue with great care. There is no guarantee that by spending money you turn things round. -David Gold

People keep dismissing tonight as unimportant; I don't and I know Steve doesn't. We have got to brush ourselves down and come out battling against United. We see it as important to the club to win these kind of games because they raise the spirit and right now we've got to say that one of our problems is confidence.

Steve Bruce's job is not under threat. Right now I don't know of anyone who is any better . . . Steve Bruce is charged with getting City out of the relegation zone. We have got to battle our way out of this crisis and I'm still confident we will.

This would unquestionably strengthen English football, but I have serious doubts as to whether this would work.
