S-Platt Posted July 27, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted July 27, 2011 It does not make sense them lying about how much money they are getting for players surely they would say they got less and put the rest in a different bank account to help pay off Yeungs personal debts? With regards to them going out of business it wont happen but if it did the only one thing for sure is our away end would be full everyweek even for the likes of Wigan/Fulham as you know they support whoever we are playing more than their own team anyway!

villaajax Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Last night small heath played my local team, Oxford United and lost 2-0, I know it's only a friendly but they did put out a strong team (as far as small heath goes) including Foster, Carr, Davies, Caldwell, Ridgewell, Fahey and Dann. To be fair, it must have been quite intimidating for small heath, there were over 2000 people in attendance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 What are the chances of someone buying them, in know it's guess work but do people think there's a chance of it happening? why buy them when they are in huge debt, have sold their best players and the team looks hopeless? surely you would be better buying another club like nottingham forest, blackpool or burnley?

villa_shere Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Ridgewell and Foster linked to Baggies This guy must win Agent of the year Really? Zigic to Man City. I can picture Mancini saying sorry Mario, Aguero, Carlos, Adebeyour, Jo, Bellamy and Dezko we are playing 4-5-1 this game with Zigic up front. How come nobody has taken Dann off their hands yet? i hope we do, the final nail in the coffin for small heath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentVilla Posted July 28, 2011 Moderator Share Posted July 28, 2011 This makes me chuckle Nikola Zigic's agent has claimed that Manchester City and Tottenham are amongst a number of English clubs looking to land the Serbian. Milan Calasan has already confirmed that Zigic has no intention of playing in the Championship with Birmingham. And Birmingham are keen to get Zigic's hefty wage packet off their balance sheet, and a move back to Spain was expected. But whilst there is interest in La Liga, where Zigic has previously starred for Valencia and Racing Santander, Calasan says a host of Premier League clubs want him. He says Everton, Wigan and Sunderland have all enquired but they were put off by the asking price. "A few English teams are showing interest in Zigic, but the obstacle now is his high wage at Birmingham," Calasan told Serbian daily Blic. "There has been interest from Everton, Wigan and Sunderland, but they cannot meet the quoted price. "Zigic certainly won't be playing in the Championship. There are clubs in England which are willing to meet the demands for him, and it is possible he will be continuing his career in the Premier League." City and Spurs Calasan then made his even more remarkable claims that Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknappwould both be happy to sign the striker. "Roberto Mancini admires Zigic and would love to see him at Manchester City. If Adebayor departs this summer, the transfer could happen. "As for Redknapp, he is also heaping praise on Zigic, but he already has Crouch among his ranks." Calasan admitted that Zigic does have interest from Germany but played down links with Nurnberg or Hannover. "Much bigger clubs than those mentioned are in play, but it is not the right moment to reveal any names right now," he said. "His career may well continue in a Bundesliga side." So City and Spurs aye....this from the same agent that claimed we were trying to sign him despite O'Neill saying there was no interest.
