Popular Post TheStagMan Posted August 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2023 (edited) hmmm, investors buy distressed "asset" BCFC for a pound. Look at options to increase profile. Partner with big name sports star who is looking for avenues to promote his nutritional advice/supplements business and hit him for some investment capital (suspiciously no mention of how much). Clearly a tactic to add some value to their purchase, and it has worked. They may well now have doubled, possibly even trebled in value (up as high as £2-£3). Yes, he will bring some increase of profile to the club, but as soon as people start seeing just how bad they are, how shit their facilities are and what "entertainment" they have on offer, the excitement will quickly die down. If he is still there in 5 years and hasn't quietly bailed, taking a small profit, I will be very surprised. He apparently has a net worth of about £250m. Everyone knows that is nowhere near enough to sustain a premier league club - even relegation fodder like BCFC would be if they somehow managed to get promoted (they won't). Yet the noses are coming out with crap like "Champions League in 5 years". I am still bemused by the fact that something good happens to their club (and Tom Brady involvement is on the face of it good for them as it raises their profile), their first thought is not "what does it mean for us", it's "phwoar, I bet the Villa will be upset by this". Newsflash guys, we aren't upset, or worried, or "rattled". Bemused, yes, and interested to see how it pans out. This obsession they have with us is really weird. When something happens at Villa, the impact on or thoughts of Birmingham City fans doesn't even cross my mind.

I couldn't give two shits about this club.... like I don't care about Blackpool or Sheffield United. A bunch of people on here say the same yet here we are 1430 pages later....

In fairness, this single thread, the only one we have for them, has been active for 15 years. So not that busy really. If you added up the multitude of different posts on multiple threads they have about us, It would vastly outnumber our posts on them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 To be fair, there's a lot going on for the average Bloser, with a brain the size of a walnut, to take in. Tom Brady, he was brilliant in that Gray twins film. NFL? Didn't they make kitchens? Fitness? Eh? Our sister's fit. Premier League, where's that then? Hedge fund? Is that Titchmarsh fella involved? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope the white transit van ( with Undiefeeted written on the side in black insulation tape) that picks him up from the airport has his satnav set to shortest route so it takes him down the Old Cov Road rather than the slightly plusher Small Heath Highway. That'd open his eyes a bit. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
