Here's your links. I think the odd format of Twitter's URLs messes up the tags, so you'll have to copy/paste.

GeorgeVilla82 Posted May 23, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted May 23, 2011 Anyone just hear Pat Murphy on 5 Live? Was basically saying that SHA won't get out of the Championship because of their financial position and the club has been devalued by half (now worth £40m) and Egg Foo Yeung overpaid massively. Claridge then said that SHA will be the next Portsmouth....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 No chance, thats one player I think Blues would not want to lose at any cost. They need money, and he is one of their three or four most saleable assets. Bolton, Blackburn, Wolves, West Brom, Wigan, Sunderland, Newcastle, Norwich, Fulham are all teams that could come knocking. Gardner is a player who gives 100% commitment every time, scores goals regularly from midfield, and can play at PL level. I defy any Villa supporter to pinpoint a time when he let us down while he was playing for us. (I don't want him back though) Scores goals regularly? When did he do that for us? He's a player i've never rated and never will, i look forward to him moving to wolves or west brom and declaring himself a lifelong fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstonMartin82 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 A side of Foster Carr Murphy Davies Ridgewell Redmond Gardner Mutch/Fahey Beasejour Jerome McFadden Will be good enough to see us up. Apart from losing Foster and perhaps Gardner If that team is good enough to come back up why did they go down with a much better team?? They're so thick. Because going down isn't the same as coming up? Though I do agree with the thick part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cracker1234 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Peter Pannu, the former Hong Kong policeman turned barrister installed by the Carson Yeung regime as Birmingham City's managing director, declined requests to explain the obvious question posed by the club's relegation: how will Birmingham survive financially in the Championship? There was instead a tetchiness in the statement, which said Alex McLeish will keep his job but is "expected" to lead the club back to the Premier League and denied that Carson Yeung ever promised £80m would be spent, which the media present at that early press conference claim he did. The worry that Birmingham are the club most likely to have severe problems adjusting to the more straitened finances in the Football League – even with two years of £16m Premier League "parachute payments" guaranteed and two of £8m – does not come from malicious intent but was posed by the accountants who audited the club's books. They stated in October that the club needed to raise £10.5m to "continue to operate within its agreed bank facilities", and a further £17.5m for "general working capital and financial support" via a share issue on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. "These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the [club's] ability to continue as a going concern," the auditors stated. The accounts said Pannu and his fellow board members had prepared financial forecasts based on the impact of not finishing where they hoped in the Premier League but: "The directors are confident that the football club will retain its Premier League status." So when fans and the media ask what lies in store for Birmingham, shorn of the £40m Premier League TV bounty which was 75% of the club's turnover last year, they are not making mischief. Yet making sense of the club's financial position requires a scouring of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, on which the club's Cayman Islands-registered holding company is listed, for news of the share issues and loans from Yeung. They appear to show the club has indeed raised some significant cash, £7m, from the first share issue underwritten by Kingston Securities, the firm run by Pollyanna Chu, an executive of casinos in Macau. Pannu did announce in March that Yeung had injected a further £4m into the club, and announcements from the parent company have said Yeung will be lending the club money from sales of his property assets. However, the second £17.5m share issue appears still to be a long way off, after it has been successively delayed, and relegation will not make attracting investors any easier. Blues' budgets are understood to have been passed by Uefa for competing in Europe next season and by the Premier League, which required the club to provide information on their finances should they go down. Hence Pannu feeling he did not need to answer questions in the aftermath of relegation. However, the Championship is a financial quagmire; several high-earning players are out of contract and can be released but McLeish will need a squad strong enough to prevent the club falling into a downward spiral, as so many have before. Pannu, Yeung, Chu and those who bought Birmingham City - principally, they said at the time, to expand its "brand" into China - will find life in the Football League not merely full of questions, but demanding in the extreme.

PompeyVillan Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 They are in trouble, that's for sure. If they don't come up next season they'll struggle again for a few years, in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 to make it worse they could have an extra 8 games in Europe(though will probably be only 2) to go with their 46 game league and maybe a small cup run and with their very small squad they are in bigger shit Doubt we will see them in Premier LEague for a while :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
