McFadden pledges future to Blues

Blues are yet to win a game in which James McFadden scores

Birmingham striker James McFadden says he will stay at St Andrew's even if Blues go down on Sunday.

The 25-year-old Scot, who joined Blues from Everton in January for £5m, said: "I've only just arrived and I'm not looking to leave in a hurry.

"I've not really given my own situation much thought although there's obviously a good chance we could go down.

"The pressure is off us in a way as we are in the bottom three, but we know it is must-win against Blackburn."

McFadden added: "If we go down, it is not a question of what's going to happen to the manager because, when he was appointed, it was not with a quick fix in mind.

"He will be here regardless and, if we go down, then at least I know that if I am playing every week and scoring goals. It should not affect me in terms of Scotland."
