Birmingham City manager Steve Bruce has revealed that he almost walked away from the club in the summer after their disastrous last season in the Premiership.
The Blues are currently riding high in the Championship after an indifferent start to the campaign and face Liverpool in the fourth round of the Carling Cup on Wednesday evening.
But, following their bitter relegation in the summer, Bruce admitted he seriously considered quitting St Andrew's.
He said: "The closest I came to walking away was the summer.
"I reflected then on what had gone wrong, what I could have done differently, the challenges that were ahead and what I wanted to do myself.
"But even then I didn't really want to walk away after being relegated. I wanted to try to get a new team and get us back to where we were four or five years ago and start all over again."
