View from the Dolman Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 The new regime keen to have their own man. They've allocated funds, remember... "approximately HK$120,000,000 (i.e., approximately £12.72 million) is intended to be used, when considered appropriate, to acquire additional football players who are expected to make a contribution to and help enhance the competitiveness of the football team significantly so as to assist the football team to achieve promotion to the English Premier League in the future. It is anticipated that an amount of HK$120,000,000 would allow BCFC to recruit around eight to ten football players for future football seasons."

!james Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Mental, expect to see a big name foreign manager come in soon and be given huge expectations and zero time ala Zenga, Di Matteo. Rowett wont have any problems finding another job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Read a few comments from their fans . Not happy to say the least . Outside the playoffs on goal difference. Thought he was doing a really good job . Owners better get the next appointment right. Or there could be a bit of unrest coming there way . Crazy decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelts Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Pretty happy with most things LJ and the owners and board. One thing our manager will get is time and money . Like Rowett he always looks smart and was a tidy full back. Done a decent job at Brum but unfortunately worked for crazy owners . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don't think they are actually. Over the last ten games only Rotherham are in worse form than us. Just puts it in perspective as to why some are a bit concerned about where we are going.

Is that the over paid rubbish with dodgy agents that we should be going for in January in order to halt our slide into relegation - according to many on this forum? We don't want competition from Brum, pushing the prices up even further.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Seems a crazy sacking, win, near the playoffs he's not been a big spender and has improved them indeed over his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we know how that would go don't we. Another foreign owner who is hopelessly clueless and as for bringing in 8-10 players for 12 million quid to get B'ham promoted? That will not buy them much. I predict B'ham will now fail to get anywhere near the play offs. I am genuinely beginning to lose interest in football when inept twerps from overseas splash the cash but have no idea what they are doing and are slowly, yet inexorably, stifling or even killing the beautiful game. I don't believe it will do us or any other well run club any favours whatsoever in the long term. The more foreign owners we have the farther down the years we will go before a national team wins a major tournament, If ever. The open market we have is that bad for the game. Do you see it that open anywhere else? No, because its not. And because generally their FA's don't have berks running the show and they realise what they have. Before long you will have the Chinese flag flying over Birmingham City Hall. Maybe if I say I support a team from Birmingham the Chinese Gov't will let me fish off Scarborough Shoal? World has gone totally nuts and Its all heading for armageddon I tell you ! This may very well be my final post. ... But possibly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grove park city Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 So another Wolves /Villa style mash up everyone chasing this Chinese pot of gold that is paying obscene money in their own league and is now ruining English football, instant buy a team buy the league title thinking so many massive teams are streets ahead no one is going to overtake the Chelsea and other top London teams plus the Northern powerhouses ... Gary Rowett has built a solid balanced Blues team that competes 100% ok a 4-0 tonking at Newcastle Utd who will walk this league along with Brighton is a setback but they bounced back to beat Ipswich ... Having ditched 1 money laundering far east owner been screwed over by the Sullivan,Brady,Gold partnership they still out perform and keep pressing ahead this latest sacking is sheer madness. No doubt Gary Rowett will prove a big hit at a Hull City type club who need guts and balls and a no nonsense manager who knows how to organise and put out a competitive effective side.
