Get/Bear/Receive/Take Blame

a "If the plan fails, he will get the most blame."
b "If the plan fails, he will bear the most blame."
c "If the plan fails, he will receive the most blame."
d "If the plan fails, he will take the most blame."

Could it be that a, b, c seem to suggest that other people will blame him for the failure, but d seems to suggest that he will blame himself for the failure?

PamQueue Could it be that a, b, c seem to suggest that other people will blame him for the failure, but d seems to suggest that he will blame himself for the failure? I'd say that's a fair interpretation.
