Not sure what Jordan Rhodes has got to do with Birmingham v Middlesbrough 

 

lol

 

Nowt but it was one of tonights games. Should I have started an entirely new Jordan Rhodes red card rescinded thread or bumped last Saturdays match day thread when it was mentioned that he had been sent off.

Like I said very early on in the thread, since Mowbray had to take a sabbatical (really like the bloke btw and hope he's fine) Brum had picked up 1 point from 12. Now 1 from 15. Relegation form right there. Good managers make a massive difference (we've discovered that this season!).

Nothing against Birmingham but actually I'd like to see them go down. It's another classic case of American money thinking they can apply their business acumen to football......."have a nice day...."  lol 

That's why you should be careful what you wish for, lol. But once you've taken Americans and Asians out of the picture I doubt there's many potential buyers left.

Leaves you with Sovereign Wealth Funds.....😂 Jokes aside, in it's not that the money is American, it's that we continue to see individuals, hedge funds, consortiums etc come in a think they've got the skill in the room because they've made money in other sectors. That's the issue, the failure to recognise the need for specialists. All too familiar to us........

The Todd Boehly Syndrome it should be called.

Forgot to say. For comparison, we've picked up 12 points from the last 15. Things can change so quickly in the league...

I don’t think Venus will be in charge on Saturday unfortunately. I’m sure they’ll have an emergency interim. Warnock is my bet.

Christ. Can't they just leave that poor man in his coffin.

Birmingham never learn.

A few years back they were on the verge of the playoffs with Gary Rowett, but binned him off in favour of a 'big name' (Zola).
It went the shape of the pear & they dumped Zola & had to get Harry Redknapp in to keep them up.

This season they were on the edge of the playoffs with John Eustace, but binned him off in favour of a 'big name' (Rooney).
It all went the way of the skywardly pointing breasticles & they dumped Rooney & got Tony Mowbray in...which looked like a good bet to keep them up, but then he went off ill.

In between times they had a 9 point deduction, but depsite that, our old chum Mr Monk managed to keep them up.

They have been circling the drain for about a decade now & this may be the season it finally catches up with them.
Tonights result will have panicked a few at St Andrews & I wouldn't be shocked if they are on the phone to Warnock or Sam Allardyce as I type this.....

That's my fear. Although Brum would look very disrespectful to a clearly sick Mowbray. But money talks and they wouldn't want to be relegated...
