simmoram1995 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hearing some very alarming but all too familiar things about Birmingham City! I know a lot of us have animosity to a certain poor taste anthem adopted by Birmingham and indeed a number of fans and I do remember a ‘few’ in the minority damage PP. but what this is highlighting is what a complete mess the football pyramid is forest stand to get £90m for going down - what’s the incentive of trying ? many clubs will go derbys way and May will not come out of it well! We’ve had a good end to the week but all it has shown is a paradox of the statement don’t mend something that doesn’t need fixing - it’s quite ironic our new owner is in building / Property development as Prem to EFL to lower leagues need bulldozing and complete restructuring! For me parachute payments and playoffs being scrapped CBRammette and Red_Dawn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinder Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I’d be devastated if any fans had to go through what we have, or even worse if it ended in liquidation. Birmingham have got some disgraceful fans but so have we, so has every club. Don’t let a brainless vocal minority taint an entire fan base. Living in Brum I know loads of decent Bluenoses including all my wife’s family. No one deserves to go though the anguish of the last 9 months, I wouldn’t even joke about it because we very nearly went under.

RadioactiveWaste Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I would agree the structure needs to be reformed - parachute payments in particular, but the real problem is the gap being so vast. Ultimately, what football really needs is a huge crash and more rational valuation of what it is, what players are paid, what people pay to watch it (and so on) - it's seemed to be some sort of bubble but one that hasn't burst but now has sovereign wealth funds of oil nations funding it.

Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 No one can wish what we have endured (in the last 9 months or so) on any other club ……… except for Wycombe and Middlesbrough of course, I think I’m not on my own in wishing those 2 clubs only the worst of luck for the future.

Ghost of Clough Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: Although I thought Bassini couldn't get the money together. But still, karma. Only 16 senior players? Poor them! FYI, that's actually 32 players on professional contracts (plus 2 with contracts pending). A list of players which includes Hogan, Jutkiewicz, Deeney, Dean, Roberts, Sunjic, Woods, Etheridge, Friend, Gardner and Leko. At least 29 have played for their first team, so they have to sell at least 5 just to sign someone new. The EFL will have to apply the same level of consistency as they showed us after all.

Exactly, and that's why I'll be having a party, when Birmingham dies. Hey, they won't be upset. It's just a bit of fun. Of course, when you're in that situation it doesn't seem very funny.

Kernow Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I don't want them to go under. I would never wish any club to go under. But beyond that, whatever happens to them might not be completely undeserved. I'd have sympathy and show my support for a lot of clubs if they found themselves in the position we did. Birmingham City would not be one of them. darren22, Premier ram and Rammy03 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they lose every game. He'll find something else and can put it down to first manager job nerves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
