He was class at Celtic and not really sure why they sold him tbh

I wonder if its a matter of time till Brum go up considering their backing
They have been backed financially yes. But they will still be playing catchup with a bunch of strangers and players from League 1 where if they don't start strongly will be up against it. I honestly think they will be OK this season then become a side with a good chance in another year.

No, Blues need a quick promotion as there is no way they are going be able to pass PSR.

Would love us to sign anotherJapanese player, preferably a centre mid, would help Tats a lot and also just think most are really classy creative players.

Knight head are in it for the long run at blues, bought the Birmingham wheels site with plans to build a 60k seater stadium on it. I don’t claim to know a lot about how PSR works but surely wouldn’t risk putting Birmingham into financial trouble?

Not sure if PL PSR rules are different from the Championship, but stadium building costs (ie 'club infrastructure'), for example for Everton, were exempt from PSR.

Wenger said building a new ground put Arsenal back years as they could no longer compete on transfers. 60k is peanuts for a ground these days. Most big projects go way over budget as well.
Many new grounds have put clubs in trouble. Ours did. Think the Madejski Stadium was a particularly classic example of owner screwing a club. Dodgy owners who lump all the debt on the club are particularly bad when it comes to new grounds.
Don't know anything about the Brum owners but 12% interest on loans seems they are in it for big profit in the long run.
