Beleaguered Gianfranco Zola is remaining defiant after Birmingham supporters chanted for his head after a 1-1 draw at Rotherham.
The Blues became the first team not to beat the already relegated Millers since February after Danny Ward's late goal cancelled out a superb free-kick from Kerim Frei.
It left Zola's men without a win in eight games and only four points above the Sky Bet Championship drop zone before Burton's late game with Ipswich. Over 2,500 Blues fans were calling for Zola to be sacked, but the Italian does not intend to go anywhere.
"Why should I leave before the end of the season?" he said. "I don't leave things undone. I can handle the situation so why should I leave?
"We have four games to play. We need those points to be safe, then we will focus on next season. Then I will say things that have to be said.
"At the end of the season I will say a few things and we will assess the situation. I will be the first one to take the responsibility for things.
"I am not happy. I have not been happy for a long time, I am waiting for the break but it is difficult to get it. We are all disappointed. We had different expectations for us."
On the fans calling for his dismissal, Zola added: "This is part of the job and I accept it, the results are not very good and this is understandable that the as long as they turn on me, I don't mind it.
"I am tough, this is a moment when they need to be supporting the players."
