Zatman Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The thing is though if Blues has signed Lewondowski, he would have been complete shit. Mcleish would have ruined him. It's a catch 22. He wouldn't have fired them to glory. Lewandowski always dreamed of playing with Zigic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means it's possible, yes. Things are rarely that simple though. The money has been loaned by this company (but nobody knows who this company is or who owns it) to BIH the HK listed holdings company that owns Small Heath not directly to Small Heath. Yet their collection of sheds and future care Aldi car park they call the pitch have been put up as the security for the loan. What proportion of the loan is made available by the holding company to Small Heath remains to be seen. Whoever gets the money, if it's not paid back then losing the ground is a possibility. They could end up tenants in their own home or worse. Football clubs that lose ownership of their grounds usually end up in a right old state. It remains to be seen what happens in this example but one thing is for sure things are going to get worse for them before they get better.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Is St Andrews even worth £12.50 never mind £12.5m? The land must be worth 50p max, isn't it literally built on an old slag heap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The land must be worth 50p max, isn't it literally built by an old slag heap? Whilst she did a few good things for the club, blaming her for the existence of whole shit tip club is a bit below the belt, Best leave her out the discussion now she's at West Ham Utd.

Genie Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 'He disappeared halfway through a medical!' The footballer who got away Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett tells a bizarre story about a potential signing who had a change of heart and left halfway through his medical. The player - who remains unnamed - had his head turned by another club offering more money. "We had one (signing) that took about five weeks and we had a medical and he got through half of the medical and he disappeared," he recalled. "I won't name the name but he ended up in Scotland two days later signing for another team. You've just got to take it on the chin and crack on." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
