mikeyp102 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Did anyone see the video of them circulating pre game yesterday. A bunch of their fans tried to protest. They started shouting at the CEOs car that he is a Cu**. Then some gobshite bird scream “stay classy”... it’s hilarious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I didn't believe when I heard it. Their reaction was already over the top. A mass celebration from fans and the club that they're selling an incredible prospect. Genuinely the most embarrassing thing I can remember from a club. Great that it's Blues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to retire his jersey, but still a decent gesture from him. Their problem is that they'll probably just waste the money. Yeah let's hope they waste it!

Demitri_C Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 On bellingham i might be biased but did he look as good as grealish when grealish first started? Grealish started in premier league and i think did better. I dont see how he is worth 25m with the stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leighavfc Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Yes the boy has talent and yes potentially he could go on to be a fantastic player.... but any player can get a career ending injury at any time (im not for one minute suggesting that's what i wish). Yet these lot are going on like he has won everything in the game and just been named the ballon d'or winner. Its just incredible how tinpot they are, and every time they open there mouths it gets worse and worse to the point where you cannot believe how low they stoop! They are the laughing stock of world football at the minute and even their fans who will put up any old reason as an excuse are actually embarrassed about it!

It's only to stay it off though as again end of next season the debt will be there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish started in premier league and i think did better. I dont see how he is worth 25m with the stats I haven't seen him much, but by all accounts yes he is better than Jack when he first started. PLus Jack didn't start for the first team until he was about 19 or 20 IIRC Not that that proves Bellingham is better or anything, but I think he was better at 17 than Jack was. Nobody was offering us £25m for Grealish when he was 17 (which is probably a good thing!) I don't think there is any doubt that Bellingham is indeed a very very exciting prospect. And I think trying to suggest he's not that good is a bit premature and makes us look a bit petty. However he could be the next Lionel Messi and it doesn't make the pathetic nonsense coming out of Birmingham City over the past week about him any better. They are a total embarrassment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 24, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2020 BY the way I had a cursory glance at a SHA forum and to be fair to them, they all realise how tin pot and embarrassing this all is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend from the other side also told me he has a brother and its an attempt to keep the family on side so they will hopefully get another big windfall from him, no idea how true this is mind Although I read the official twitter account saying you cant take the boy out of Birmingham......isn't he from Hagley?

bannedfromHandV Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Retiring the shirt is the best example of their small time mentality ever. Well, that and their trillion trophy stadium. What a farce of a club, imagine having to deal with that level of embarrassment every day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Hey guys, do you remember that time yesterday when they announced they were retiring the number 22 shirt for that 17 year old they sold?

useless Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 He changed them yesterday actually just the day after he was sitting in the middle of their pitch in the dark and giving interviews talking about 'once a blue aways a blue'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
