Birmingham keeper Hart will take lead from Man City over next season

Birmingham City goalkeeper Joe Hart says he's prepared to accept any decision made by parent club Manchester City about his status next season.

City bosses have blocked Birmingham chief Alex McLeish’s bid to convert this season’s loan for the 22-year-old into a permanent transfer this summer.

Hart said: “It is out of my hands and I’m not going to sit in a corner thinking or worrying about all the ­possible scenarios.

“I’m employed by ­Manchester City and it is up to them to make the decisions. This season they’ve put me on loan at Birmingham, and that’s as far as I can look for now.”
