Steve Cotterill saga timeline

The pressure increases on Steve Cotterill after a 2-0 home defeat to Barnsley during which the fans call for his head. The manager used his post match press conference to claim his player are ‘frightened to death’ to play at St. Andrews.


Reports surface that ‘three replacements’ have been ‘sounded out’. One supposedly isn’t interested, two are.


Steve Cotterill claims his squad ‘isn’t strong enough’ and the situation ‘would be the same’ irrespective of who is the manager in a month’s time. Garry Monk is confirmed as ‘one of the three’ potential replacements.


Club directors call meetings scheduled for Wednesday (today) to decide upon their next move. At this stage, it seemed likely Cotterill would learn his fate.


Our research suggests that Xuandong Ren is ready to offer his support for Cotterill. A Vital Birmingham source claims the players will do the same.


Cotterill’s future hangs in the balance with the fans wishing him to be relieved of bis duties and the players seemingly backing him.
