I honestly don't care. We can get those points off everyone else. I'd rather not play them. Maybe I'd feel different if I was a local, but I just find the derby thoroughly unpleasant, and the most recent one sums it all up for me. I'd rather them words removed were not on our schedule full stop. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are in the championship, we absolutely need Blues in there with us, for the points. If you replaced Blues with another Brentford or QPR, we'd be mid table right now.

stewiek2 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) The candle-wax spiv yet again denying any knowledge of how football management works I see.. https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11694/11671474/harry-redknapp-denies-responsibility-for-birminghams-potential-points-deduction Quote Harry Redknapp has denied responsibility for Birmingham City's overspending, which could see the club deducted 12 points. Birmingham signed 14 players during Redknapp's 13-match spell in charge, which saw him save the club from relegation to League One on the final day of the 2016-17 season - only to be sacked a month into the following campaign. The transfer spend contributed to losses of £37.5m in the 12-month period before the end of June 2018, which could see the club punished this week after Birmingham bosses faced an EFL disciplinary commission for breaking profit and sustainability results. A decision is expected before their game at West Bromwich Albion a week on Friday, live on Sky Sports, with a potential 12-point deduction seeing them fall to only two points above the relegation zone. "It's surely down to the people who run the club, like the chief executive and the chairman, or whoever, to know if we've got any money to spend," Redknapp told The Daily Telegraph. "I didn't know anything about Financial Fair Play. I was never warned by anyone at the football club that there was going to be a problem with that. I didn't know anything about Financial Fair Play. I was never warned by anyone at the football club that there was going to be a problem with that. "There were three lads from Brentford that came in [Jota, Harlee Dean and Maxime Colin] - they were all good players but they weren't on my shopping list. "I'd never even see any of them play, they were brought in by other people above my head. "We bought in Isaac Vassell for £1m [from Luton Town], and he will be worth massive money in my opinion. He was an absolute bargain, but I can't even take credit for that because he was nothing to do with me, to be truthful. "I don't think any of the signings were mine. I was taking John Ruddy on a free transfer from Norwich and instead they brought in David Stockdale from Brighton. The director of football [Jeff Vetere] wasn't brought in by me either."

markc Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Hopefully will be topped up with a further points deduction for that thug that hit Grealish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Doesn't seem to act as too much of a deterrent to dissuade other clubs from doing the same to me. Perhaps they are saving the other three points for the failure to control their supporters charge? That said, the league table has a more familiar look about it today. It's just a pity they weren't in their usual relegation struggle this season, to give this points deduction a bigger impact upon them. Time for Harry to get his knighthood for services to football now, I would suggest. He's done a terrific job at Small Heath in getting them to the foot of the league again!

OutByEaster? Posted March 22, 2019 Moderator Share Posted March 22, 2019 A slap on the wrist, carefully measured to ensure no real damaging outcome. That's good news for us and for the host of other Championship sides in a similar position. I think the EFL will need to look at its £13m of losses figure as currently more than half of the teams in the Championship will fail that this season - obviously the small heath penalty is exacerbated by the breach of the transfer ban, but we could find ourselves in the farcical position of a league where fourteen teams have had points deductions and the result is largely decided by how teams choose to manage those punishments.

I suppose the only way to counteract this deduction is to get better players in to get you more points to cope. Haven't really thought this through have they!
