West Brom's on-loan goalkeeper Ben Foster insists no decision will be taken on his long-term future until the end of the campaign.[LNB] Foster has temporary joined the Baggies for the 2011/12 season from Birmingham following their relegation from the Premier League.[LNB]He will return to St. Andrew's should City be promoted, but that is looking unlikely after a mass exodus of players and an average start to life in the npower Championship.[LNB]When asked about his future, Foster said: "I honestly haven't got a clue. As far as it stands it was just a season-loan deal and that was that.[LNB]"It just depends on what happens at the end of the season.[LNB]"If Birmingham go and get promoted and get back in the Premier League then I will be back there playing football with Birmingham - simple as that.[LNB]"If it doesn't happen, then there is a decision to be made on both parties.[LNB]"It's out of your hands to a point. I will have to bide my time and wait and see."[LNB]Foster admits Birmingham's Carling Cup success was a major factor in them being relegated.[LNB]He said: "I think it was the cup win that really did it and what took us down. It took so much out of us, more emotionally than anything.[LNB]"It was so tiring. I remember literally for two weeks afterwards the lads in training were just knackered.[LNB]"It was such a big effort from everyone that it really did affect our Premier League form.[LNB]"There were some games towards the end of the season, particularly when we lost 2-0 to Fulham, when it was such a poor performance from the lads.[LNB]"It just seemed like we were almost resigned to the fact we might get relegated. You could see something like that happening which was disappointing."[LNB]Foster was also relegated with Watford but is confident Albion will stay up despite a poor start to the season.[LNB]He said: "We'll be absolutely fine. I had the misfortune of getting relegated with Birmingham last season and with Watford a few years back as well.[LNB]"I can see what you need in your team to avoid the drop. We have plenty of talent in this team to avoid the drop.[LNB]"I think realistically we have to be looking towards 10th and 11th place. That's our true position."
