Birmingham City have released a lengthy statement to their supporters explaining their decisions for sacking manager John Eustace on Monday.
Eustace led Birmingham to safety last season, while a come-from-behind 3-1 derby win over West Brom on Friday left Blues sixth in the Championship after 11 fixtures heading into the international break.
However, following Wayne Rooney's decision to step away from DC United, Birmingham decided to cut ties with Eustace, leaving a section of the club's fans unhappy over their treatment of the 43-year-old.
And less than 24 hours after making that decision to sack Eustace, the Midlands club have released a 789-word statement explaining their reasoning, claiming his ambitions and goals did not match the club's.
