Hull City manager Steve Bruce has insisted that he is to blame for the club's relegation from the Premier League.
The Tigers drew 0-0 at home to Manchester United this afternoon in a result which confirmed their passage into the Championship.
Bruce told BBC Sport: "Too many times I have come out and said we have not done bad but we have not scored. That is 17 or 18 times we have not scored.
"I have to take the brunt of it. We have not been good enough. We believed at the start of the season we would have enough. It is not a time for excuses. You have to take your medicine and come back as strongly as you can.
"I am exhausted at the minute. My future is for others to decide. Cuts are inevitable. A lot of talking and soul-searching has to be done in the next few weeks. We are all sad at the minute. I am sure there are a few conversations to be had, which will be had in due course."
Bruce led Hull into the Premier League in 2013.
