Steve Cotterill told angry Birmingham fans: “I'll acknowledge you every day of the f** week” after being accused of snubbing them.
Brum boss Cotterill is facing rising anger at Blues being in the drop zone despite bringing in 14 new players last summer.
Their shocking form saw Harry Redknapp given the boot with Cotterill brought in as his successor.
Yet the 22nd-placed team have won just twice since and not scored in seven of Cotterill's 10 games.
Anger and frustration boiled over after a 1-0 loss at Fulham, where Jeremie Boga missed a penalty.

Fans hung around afterwards to demand answers from players and staff boarding the away team bus.
Cotterill was also accused of not acknowledging City's 4,000 away fans after the final whistle.
But he insisted to a group by the bus: “Don't tell me that - I'll acknowledge you every day of the f** week.”
Cotterill then even took a seven-man group aside to speak at length on the opposite side of the street from the bus.

MirrorSport understands Birmingham's hierarchy are reluctant to make another change after sacking three bosses in the last year.
They have lurched from crisis to crisis since replacing Gary Rowett with Gianfranco Zola a year ago before bringing in Redknapp for the final three games of last term.
After the Fulham defeat fans also demanded answers from Harlee Dean, Jonathan Grounds, Michael Morrison, Sam Gallagher, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Lukas Jutkiewicz and assistant Lee Carsley.
