Remember seeing a thread on one of their forums recently where they slagged us off for not beating Villa and called both us and the Seals "s*** teams" which I thought was pretty amusing.

Hopefully we keep their keeper, nick their manager and they stay down.

Come on Blackpool.Apart from Walsall make sure you beat the worst West Midlands club

Hopefully they get a tanking tonight.

Tonights game could be one of the most important for our club in ages..

Manager and goalkeeper possibilities...

I think they will draw and go out.... then the meltdown of the finances will really begin.

At least they won the league cup.

Have to feel a bit for Blues tonight,they have had a super season in all with left over players and rejects from other clubs.To play that many games and come that close really isn't anything to gloat about for us or Villa fans in fairness,unlucky Blues... as we know the play offs can be cruel.

Rich99 · « **Reply #407 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:10:02 PM »

Well that's Brum done for a while then.

I remember when we were going down and speaking to some Blues fans about it and basically they thought Albion a little club compared to them. I think the faux few years in the Prem went to some of their fans heads. I can't say I'm crying for them tonight to be honest.

87Baggie · « **Reply #408 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:14:13 PM »

No sympathy for them

sconesy · « **Reply #409 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:16:30 PM »

I do feel for the noses. They may be the 'ginger headed step sons' of Birmingham, but they have had a fantastic season under the circumstances. The club has been run so poorly and I fear life may get very tough for them in the not too distant future.....it's not the fans fault and I hope they get 6 points off Redrow PLC next season.

Quakes Fan · « **Reply #410 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:22:33 PM »

I'm okay with it. It's just too bad the Vile won't be down there to keep them company. If they want to attend a PL game, they know where our ground is.

Can Blues sell players whilst under a transfer embargo?

KingKoren · « **Reply #412 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:36:04 PM »

A transfer embargo usually means they can't sign players but they can still sell them

Correct.....unless the player signed is under 18 (normally).

KingKoren · « **Reply #414 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:42:14 PM »

Yes they can still buy under 18 players as Sconesy points out. I know that applies to Rangers anyway.

Great game, great night, great result. Staying down. Fantastic

When we played weakened teams in the cup,we slated the club for the lack of ambition, well Blues had the ambition to win the League Cup, now look at the price they are paying, playing in the Europa League has cost them again, now they are probably stuck in the Championship for a good while, and about to be raped for their manager and best player.

Its a hard world where bad decisions can be punished for a long time.

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #417 on:** May 09, 2012, 11:26:50 PM »

won a cup with players bought with money they didnt have reeks of portsmouth.

They're not in trouble for winning a cup, they're in trouble for spending beyond their means for several years. The roosters have finally come home to roost.

As said by the poster above, they belong in the Portsmouth sort of bracket of clubs over recent years.

The likes of West Ham and Bolton may well soon join them.

These sort of clubs have been lauding it up on a false economy for a long while and sadly to the detriment of clubs like ours.

Yes they are, they played more games than their squad could deal with and ended up relegated.

I hear they have potential investors, the kumars are back?

So you reckon us playing 3 extra games last season would have got us relegated?

They missed out on goal difference, please don't tell me the cup run did not cost them at least one league point.

Albion79 · « **Reply #423 on:** May 10, 2012, 05:58:18 PM »

I could be wrong but to be fair to the Blues the reason they are in position they are in is largely down to the fact there owner has had all his assets froze, not because they have run out of money, he by all accounts has money but he cant spend it!

If his court thing turns out he is bent as made out then thats different and he deserves everything he gets (not sure the fans do though, its not their fault) but if he is okay and above board, unlike Pompey, Leeds, etc who spent money they didnt have, the Blues owner does have money, he just cant spend it and the Blues have suffered in the process by having to sell of their squad.

Sam Wallace ?
Breaking: Dave Watson of Birmingham City the new England goalkeepers' coach under Roy Hodgson

Hart,Foster and Butland have come along way under him and should be England's three chosen goalkeepers as well.
