    Gary McAllister as Coach

    think the clue is in the site it came from.......... AT has his right hand man, McAllister wouldnt want a junior coaching role and we couldnt afford him anyway. Complete balloney i reckon CovScott and no substance to it

    Clubs chasing Lukas Jutkiewicz

    Not sure on this but arent there still some instalments on his transfer to pay Everton? If so perhaps that would also increase the pressure to sell him ?

    Consortium

    Think they are unlikely to make that public until they can make a proper financed bid, if that is indeed their intention. LB said on the radio the other week that there had been some interest but no detailed offers or detailed discussions

    Clubs chasing Lukas Jutkiewicz

    to be honest there is very little at CCFC that surprises me but plenty that has over the years disappointed. I think given our finances the Club has to consider any good offer for any of our players. I wont be happy if he goes though

    I'm confused ~ {

    Today is the summer solstice and longest day, and can vary between the 20th and 24th dependent on earths orbit and rotation. Midsummers day usually coincides with the summer solstice.

    Clubs chasing Lukas Jutkiewicz

    I dont think we did get £2m for Best. Think in the year to 31st May 2010 we only sold Dann Fox and Best and for a total amount of £5.77m (net of agents costs etc). (figs from the accounts). Reckon it was net of costs Dann £3m Fox £2m and Best £0.77m but cant be sure of the split Rob But...

    Clubs chasing Lukas Jutkiewicz

    Firstly I think selling Jutkiewicz would be a big mistake both in a valuable player being lost but also in what it says to the fans about the direction we are heading. Think this is just a bit of baseless journalism but you never know ..... because part of the survival strategy is based on...

    FIFA & Jack Warner

    So Jack Warner has resigned from FIFA......... and the statement (in part) from FIFA says "As a consequence of Mr Warner's resignation, all ethics committee procedures against him have been closed and the presumption of innocence is maintained," said a Fifa statement. Whatever happened to...

    Training the youngsters

    Our youth players and their progression to and in the first team have been highlighted recently in discussions about Clarke Cameron etc. Got me wondering about the way we teach the kids to play. There are plenty of edicts from the FA, but frankly I think their plan is confused simply because it...

    McCleish did not want King?

    Couple weeks back there was a piece done by Radio 5 live that covered Birmingham and Kevin Phillips. The panel did not have a high opinion of the current owners at Birmingham. I believe one of the panel reckoned that the owners and Mr Pannu were "chancers" with no great love of football or...

    Transfer Rumours

    Reading what AT said I am not sure he is really considering Phillips. He knows a lot of fans would like him here and he isnt ruling him out as such but seems to hedge his bets. But AT knows the budget he has been given and we dont so thats going to be a big factor. “We haven’t spoken to Kevin...

    Jordan clarke set to sign

    A lot of the time it isnt about the loyalty of the player it is the financial needs of the club. If a player knows that the club are looking to cash in of course his head will be turned, add to this the greedy nature of agents and it is no surprise that players move on. It is a stated policy...

    Transfer Rumours

    nothing more than tittle tattle Apparently the club hasnt talked to Phillips and from what AT is quoted as saying in CT he thinks he would be too expensive Fotheringham - AT in CT says he isnt interested Dunn - been given until Monday to sign at current club Will only believe a signing...

    McCleish did not want King?

    Think he was probably more upset about the players that have left (14) and the liklihood that Johnson , Dann and Jerome maybe Foster are apprently moving on too . Especially when the Board gave him an ultimatum of promotion this season or else. Losing your best players makes that a very hard task.

    Alex McLeish leaves Birmingham

    Think the transfer that probably broke the camels back was more likely that Johnson & Dann are likely to be sold..... but like you say it could have involved "he who shall remain nameless" Do find it slightly irritating that Pannu gets his knickers in a twist about McLeish being tapped up when...

    Kevin Phillips

    Yet both were first team regulars who did a job for us for a season. He scores goals and importantly has lots to teach our young lads. I think AT would want to test his fitness before signing maybe but he is a free and salary expectations I would doubt to be that great

    Kevin Phillips

    that would be 19 goals in 69 appearances (38 as sub) for Birmingham. So not that shabby as a plyer not getting regular playing time, usually as a sub coming on late in games. Remember Birmingham had a very poor scoring record last year 38 goals in 37 matches due to their defensive style- all...

    Kevin Phillips

    I would agree Rich, I dont think this is the so called "franchise" player AT has in mind but still think he would be a good addition to the squad. The "franchise" player will be younger with a 3 year contract.... it isnt just building the team around him it is that he will be the football face...

    Kevin Phillips

    Reckon it would be a good signing..... Aside from the fact that he would get us goals even as a sub or 60-70 minutes, it is the knowledge craft and skill that he could give to the likes of Juke, Jeffers, Baker etc. That kind of coaching would be invaluable. Look at the match he played...
