John Ruddy Reveals Why Birmingham City were RELEGATED...

[@TalkNorwichCity]

John is a truly great bloke, he always speaks with such clarity. What a superb career he's had.

[@declangaming24]

Funny thing I did on FM was hire Ben foster for Sunderland as the assistant manager I got sacked with 6 games to go to achieve playoffs. Ben foster gets 6 games in charge wins 3 draws 1 loss 2 wins but sadly lost in the playoff semis and released at the end of the season. I took him to Ipswich with me and after I left he became there full time manager.

[@ispeeeaaakeeewhaaaleee]

FM 💪

[@MrGranfield]

What are you talking about? Ben Foster has never been hired by Sunderland or Ipswich.

More than half the team were not trying!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Happy to take the cash, knowing they wouldn’t be there next year!🤮🤮🤮 It didn’t need to happen I was fuming!🤬🤬🤬

[@steven-fx5cn]

From a bluenose, Ruddy had a good season and made some great saves. We've been going down for years, just glad he put a shift in everytime he wore the shirt KRO Ruddy!

[@IanWitherington]

Great interview tells you a lot

[@thomasmum1]

What a man gave so much timeout for my boys down the blues gave his all kro

[@dazo69]

Most people say it was the games against Rotherham and Huddersfield done us - i knew we had gone after the Cardiff game.

[@mickdowns5345]

Interesting stuff. Welcome to L1 Blues, from a Red Imp.

[@rossfernihough3264]

I can't wait to be fair. We needed a kick up the arse. However by no means from (Derby fans I know) do I believe it will be a walk in the park. Hoping to get an away day to your place as the father lives in Lincoln and used to be involved with your academy coaching.

[@PeterMangan-z7b]

Some of the players still under contract were some of the worst culprits.

[@K.R.O1875]

We'll see if Ruddy is a man of his word. He's been offered a new contract. If he sees no obligation to stick with the club he is partly responsible for relegating, then most of what he has said here about responsibility and character is utter twaddle.

[@lewis9815Z]

Birmingham did not need to go down and i hate more or less every player of that squad - they did not put any effort in. That team was an embarrassment.

[@F1wgp7]

So many years they flirted with relegation and didn't make the changes they needed. Makes sense he'd say they didn't have the right mentality to think it could happen to them.

[@SlytherinsConspiracies]

old Ruddy was good for Wolves to my mind

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

only good thing about Birmingham's season was seeing Jay Stansfield show his potential

[@colinmelling6369]

Many of them games the players were absolutely awful. The fans knew they were being relegated after the Coventry game playing like they did. Why did they play so poor ?

[@miketysall5714]

He was good for blues under John then Rooney came in and his form dipped and I dunno what happened

[@bcfc18751]

Been a Bluenose since 1968 and for sure some of the players went missing on the pitch too many times! There was more than enough skill there but never enough fight… one thing Blues have history of, being known as the ‘Brummie bashers’!! KRO

[@tjallday95]

We need Ben's Euro's prediction & England squad reaction

[@stephen3511]

For every player like Ruddy who cared and put in a shift, we had five who were lazy and spineless.

[@Tonypoolebcfc]

Too many fancy pants players who wouldn't graft

[@stephen3511]

Spot on

[@brynoliver292]

Shocking all season 😂😂😂

[@rossfernihough3264]

Not for the first few games when we where sitting 6th. Then Rooney happened...Good luck Plymouth fans

[@PaulElstins-gt2qc]

❤ 😢the team are very s.t no men in the blues team have no clue what a bad lot the end 😮😮 ❤up the blues with ❤ new season 😀 new manager and new players coming to play y and new players 😅😅up the blues win 😅

[@hudson7354]

He hated crosses last year and missed a few easy stops but it’s every one else

[@LEMR2024]

I must say although he might be speaking the truth he’s throwing so many people under the bus here…. Some things stay in the changing room

[@johnwarren9112]

Because half the players couldn't be arsed or just not good enough 👍

[@N3ON_222]

Ben come back to blues 💙 PRO

[@deanconnell7402]

ye need a good keeper

[@eroche2049]

because we were shit

[@WealthMindsetTV465]

bottled it against rotherham only reason were relegated

[@stephenbutler6819]

True man disallowed goal too but we needed to get relegated smash league 1 new team new manager exciting time trust me

[@markwalker2627]

Thats on Rowett and being scared of Rotherham and playing Oli Burke😮

[@bernardm2528]

​@@markwalker2627Rowett had a plan with Burke that just didn't work and most of us could have told him that. Rotherham was a tough game, yes we should be beating them but I had that down as a draw. Rotherham were only losing matches narrowly and winning and drawing other matches. Then new manager bounce Steve Evans made it doubly difficult. The reasons we went down was obviously Rooney but then we still had a chance to save ourselves. So the latter reasons were bad referee decisions like a hand ball goal for Hull so we got a draw instead of win, and in the next game under Venus was another terrible decision against us. However overall it was a mistake selecting Venus and not bringing Rowett in earlier. Rowett recorded 11 points from 8 games, which is 63 points over 46 games.

[@BroskiRIP]

Welcome to Chelsea lad. A proper club for a proper lad.

[@Rodders0223]

Is it because their owners are absolutely clueless but the fans won't admit it?

[@duckingforcover09]

I'm a blues fan and I'll admit I cannot stand how the majority have put the ownership on a pedestal because they were better than the last.

[@tristanbott3804]
