I'm seeing reports that a number of the stands at Small Heath are deemed unsafe so ticket numbers are vastly reduced and supporters have to go into a ballot for tickets!

St Andrew's is a dump. I couldn't believe it when I went a couple of seasons ago that you cant buy food or drink with a card, cash only.

It was 2019 for God's sake and St Andrew's is located in the nations second city. They seriously need to get up with the times. Starving I was!

The blues have changed their name to Small Heath Alliance today ‘By order of the peaky blinders’.

Small time  ;D

Me and my mates were laughing about this the other day.

The club have changed their name for one weekend, in honour of... a tv show. They've changed it to 'Small Heath Alliance', which is their original name.

However the show is set just after the first world war - at this point, they were already playing under the name 'Birmingham', albeit without the City.

Forget the name, they want to sort out those knackered stands. :D

What would we call ourselves at the moment if we had to go by the name of a TV show? Perhaps in preparation for the summer transfer window, ‘Bargain Hunt?’😀

Take over I’m the pipeline. A blues fan involved as well. A little envious if honest, I wish our club would go back into British hands

I don't care whose hands our club goes into as long as they care and want to advance us on and off the pitch like the owners of Leicester.

You have to feel sorry for Bowyer given that he has pretty much single handed kept the show on the road at the heart of an utterly shambolic club. Laurence Bassini will absolutely not make matters any better.

Bassini missed the proof of funding deadline and is currently out of the running. If I'm honest the Blues supporter and Maxi Lopez combo doesn't sound remotely dodgy at all either..........

I imagine that there will be a lot of relieved bluenoses around when they hear this news

Birmingham have appointed John Eustace as Head Coach, Keith Downing will be joining him as his assistant along with club legend Maik Taylor

Sorry for him?

If it wasn't for points deductions elsewhere he would have taken them down.

Had Bowyer been given some of the £22m generated from the sale he could have bought better players and made blues more competitive. It’s a bit like us really, whoever is in charge needs the backing and support of the board, not just left to make do with what he has got and kids.

Ever since the hand shandy brothers left that club had been mismanaged

Listened to Laurence Bassini on TalkSport earlier with Jim White and Simon Jordan earlier and what a car crash 7 minutes it was.

We, as Baggies fans, have much to moan about our owner, but should Bassini buy the Blues, I seriously fear for their future existence. He comes across as a very unstable individual with a massive ego, a deadly combination.

He is absolutely bonkers.

No way he can surely be allowed to take over that club.

Birmingham City FC will be no longer if Bassini gets control, the current owner is bad enough, but this guy is on a different planet

The various football authorities have been criticised on the "fit & proper" tests for owners sometimes with justification on others less so but if they allow  Laurence Bassini anywhere near the ownership of a club then you really are at the point where you switch off the lights and close the door.   

I just don't think the EFL will sanction the "deal" which is quite likely based on nothing more than smoke and mirrors anyway. The bigger pity from a Birmingham perspective if there are any serious buyers out there they are being delayed in coming forward by this buffoons antics.

Doesn't make for pleasant reading for Blues fans. I hope the FA do their job and look at this very closely. I don't wish any ill will towards our near neighbours.
