Queudrue fury at Blues owner

Furious Blues defender Franck Queudrue has hit back at co-owner David Sullivan’s “horrendous” criticism of his performances this year.

Sullivan, speaking after Blues’ relegation from the Premier League was confirmed on Sunday, claimed the “pile of rubbish” signed by former manager Steve Bruce last summer was the main reason behind Birmingham’s demise. Queudrue was singled out.

But the Frenchman, who has made only 14 starts, said: “It’s horrendous. Obviously I cannot stay in a club where the chairman makes comments like that about the players.”
