"Zola remains in charge at Birmingham for the foreseeable future, despite a dreadful start to his time at St Andrew's.
"He speaks to the Chinese owners every week. There seems no urgent desire to sack him, with the risk of losing face after appointing so swiftly after sacking Rowett. The more likely scenario if results and performances do not improve is that Zola resigns because he feels progress towards his ideals is not encouraging enough.
"With City eight points off the relegation zone and only 10 games left, a relegation battle is highly unlikely but Zola did not budget for such a disappointing three months after succeeding the popular Rowett."
