Wouldnt it be brilliant if Carson Yeung came out on friday at the Blues deadline for the takeover and told the world he was a Villa fan having a bit of a laugh?

Waahahahahahaha!!

This thread is such comedy!

Id love for McClown to get the job at the sty, having already hate the carrot this would just be the most hated club than it already is now!!

...Lemme guess.. there going to make a statment saying they have approched Arsene Wenger next!! :roll:

Arsene already turned them down between Lippi and Sir Alex, although apparantly Pele is seriously considering an offer

David Gold insists Birmingham City are not in 'crisis', and is unhappy with the recent comments to come out of the Carson Yeung camp.

Birmingham have given Yeung a 20th December deadline to complete a takeover of the Premier League club, who saw manager Steve Bruce leave for Wigan Athletic last week.

But Yeung's spokesman Sammy Yu intimated over the weekend that the problem in finalising the deal lay with the current Blues board and that the Hong Kong businessman still wanted to buy the club.

Blues chairman Gold has taken umbrage at the comments and now fears it is less likely that the takeover will go through.

"Although we have to be careful, because it was one of Mr Yeung's aides speaking, I am saying that Sammy Yu's comments were inappropriate and very upsetting," he said.

"Myself, David Sullivan and Karren Brady (managing director) have worked very hard under extreme difficulties to deal with the problems that are coming up.

"You've got to remember we are putting Birmingham City before everything else and working on the basis that we are here for the foreseeable future.

"People say we are in crisis. We are not in crisis. We are in change.

"We will have to wait and see what emerges over the next few weeks. We have given our word. There will be no extension to that deadline to Mr Yeung.

"I believe the chances (of the takeover) are diminishing. If they can't fulfil their promises, we will go back to the way it was before."

Bruce bitter over delayed Blues exit

New Wigan boss Steve Bruce admits his protracted move from Birmingham to the JJB Stadium has "become a bit of a laughing stock".

Bruce was due to be presented to the press last week but could not appear due to a hold-up involving the repayment of advance funds paid to Bruce by City.

The issue has now been resolved, with the former England defender admitting he had repaid some of the cash, but he remains angry at the public nature of the dispute.

"It's become a bit of a laughing stock," he conceded on Sky Sports News.

"But things in contracts should, I believe, remain private and it was unfortunate it was addressed in the media.

"It left me in an embarrassing situation and one I'm very disappointed with.

"I always knew it would get resolved but it has left a bad taste in the mouth after six years of decent service to the football club.

"It was disappointing at the 11th hour to be facing this obstacle and I'm glad it's resolved."

Bruce is sure he can match the ambition of Latics owner Dave Whelan, who paid around £3million in compensation to Blues - a figure the new boss believes should have been enough to prevent this week's behind-the-scenes financial wrangling.

"I think familiarity breeds contempt," he told Sky Sports News.

"Having been here six years and having certain promises taken away, like new contracts (it was disappointing).

"Mr Whelan came in and made it clear I was the one he wanted. Paul Jewell was obviously his first choice because he has worked with him before and I'll do my utmost to give it my best shot," said Bruce, who previously managed the club for seven weeks in 2001.

"With the chairman (Whelan) paying something like £3million compensation I would have thought that would be enough but obviously not.

"But I'm here, it's a new challenge and if I have the same success as I had at Birmingham then I'm sure Mr Whelan will be happy."

When quizzed if he was keen to add former Norwich team-mate Dave Watson and Birmingham caretaker manager Erick Black to his staff, Bruce replied: "There is always going to be speculation. Dave Watson is a big friend of mine and he worked with me at Birmingham for a while, so we'll see."

"I'm hoping that I can make some additions to the backroom staff by the end of the week.

"Eric Black is still in work at Birmingham, but I'm hoping to bring in a couple of new faces."

Bruce added: "I was extremely impressed with the way they went about their job on Saturday (in their 2-0 loss to Arsenal). I know it's going to be difficult but my job is to try and give the whole place a lift. I'm very confident of staying in the Premier League."

Bruce also insisted he was looking forward to linking up once again with two former charges - Emile Heskey and Mario Melchiot.

There were rumours Bruce and Melchiot did not get on during their time together and St Andrews but he insisted that was not a concern.

"I'm looking forward to working with the whole squad. Emile did fantastically well for us at Birmingham, but when we got relegated you have to make a decision on who goes and Emile was one.

"I've just spoken to Mario and it's never been an issue, I wanted to clear that up with him. When you get relegated there is going to be disappointed people and you have to make changes and that's what happened. There is no bad blood between us and I'm looking forward to working with him."

Haha it just gets better and better.

The Scottish FA have refused Alex McLeish permission to speak to a "Premier League club".

Wonder what club that is? :lol:

Derby? :lol:

Will that be the end of it then? Can't see McLeish walking out on the national job without permission.

Hehe, yep.

I really should apply for the managers job at St Andrews. The club could expect a revolutionary new 0-0-11 formation and a cheeky £10.5m bid for Marlon Harewood!
