Their progress on the pitch under Knighthead has been bang bloody average at best, they were stupid enough to fall for American hubris this summer and deluded themselves into thinking they were on for a title charge and they now look ridiculous for it

No doubt they are a better run football club these days but since their takeover on the pitch they have failed, and thus far quite miserably in my opinion

They got promoted with considerable ease last season, and you wouldn't bet against them making the playoffs this.....

I don't think thats a failure..... whatever a section of their fans and ownership might have shouted about.

So they should have done, they purchased a striker worth more than most of the clubs in that division

And I would bet against it, their away form is not sustainable

Yeah so you admit they achieved their goal

You don't have to love Birmingham to admit it's not been a failure lol

The owners took them there in the first place by binning off a manager who was doing fine to appoint Rooney

The fact is, since they took them over they have barely improved as a footballing entity

Wouldn't be surprised if the manager got sacked if they lose to Derby so its hardly going well is it. Most their fans seem to be turning on him too.

Good point. Still laugh at Rooney hiring

Tbf they are now in championship with a more recognisable brand(sad but true) and new stadium on way. There are in better place than were before if we're honest

I am worried personally how far they can go so we need to nip it in bud now and hope they don't go up this season and then get constrained by ffp rules

Disgraceful how our best youth players are nicked then sold for bug bucks.

Be interesting to see the outcome of the charging of Bristol City and Millwall for their dust up and ours with Southampton.
For Bristol, I fully expect Knight to get a ban as he ran over and pushed Neil over.
The way we have been punished as virtually the only club to be sanctioned, you wonder what we will get. Godden for the "penalty" dive and Palmer for celebrating on the pitch. How many times have you seen whole benches running on the pitch with nothing done?
Lampard I believe, is a cert for a ban. Edwards too. Quashie should get a sanction but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Maybe just fines. We will see.

Look's like Billionaires favour putting their money into football club's is it's safer at the minute, better bet than banks and hopefully persuade the masses to compensate them for it?, That's how it feels anyway to me?

If the local paper interview means anything which he's done today I think he maybe looking for a bit of sympathy.

I assume you search for the bud, then once you've found it, place the tips of your thumb and finger either side of it, then squeeze them together firmly.
Job done

No idea, I think the consensus on here is that they have another 2.5 seasons of being able to go at it as they have just been promoted.

No idea if this is correct tho!

One thing that promotion might bring us, should we be so lucky, is funds to permanently increase our academy status to Category 1.
We'll be less likely in future to lose our promising youngsters on the cheap.

It might be a bit less likely, but the 'big' teams seem to be able to take kids from other teams academies regardless.

Birmingham manager will be out of a job by the time we reach 2026.

How can Stansfield still not get a game up top, yet they keep playing this German bloke who looks shite. Lost the ball every time he’s had it.

Agyemang on good form at the moment, looks a decent striker.
