Alex McLeish has told his Birmingham players that they must focus ahead of the relegation battle that lays ahead. Off field distractions after the arrests of Karren Brady and David Sullivan threaten to hamper Birmingham's survival chances.
"My reaction is to carry on as normal and make sure that this football team gives a good performance on Saturday [against Everton]," said McLeish.
"We let ourselves down last week and we have to bounce back again."
McLeish added: "We've done it many times, so the proof is there of that, and I think the players owe themselves, if not the Birmingham fans and their families, a performance."
Regarding the arrests, McLeish said: "Obviously it was a little bit of a surprise, but it's not something that I'm going to concern myself with.
"I'm sure everything will be all right for Karren and David, but I've got to concentrate on football matters, and totally not get involved or embroiled in any of these other administrative matters at all."
