islingtonclaret Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 You can't replace children if they're bad. Lucky for me then that sha ain't my kid. I do not enjoy the derbies. I do not enjoy the banter. I don't enjoy the rivalry and their presence. I say stuff 'em and let them start up a new club to rise through the leagues. Starting with at the 9th tier. Go away small heath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimzk5 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Let's be honest, they are where they belong, in the history of football as my grandad used to say "blues, second Devision club, always have been, always will be". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted January 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2013 Not a reason to laugh, I take no joy in a player getting a bad injury (unless it is Suarez, Terry or Marlon King) but just read that their young American defender Will Packwood broke his leg in the game with Leeds and is out for the rest of the season. As I say, no reason to laugh but their injury list i really growing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think he broke his leg in 4 places. Ouch. Regardless of who he plays for I wish him a speedy recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh dear that is horrible especially for a 20 year old yet to make any kind of real living in the game, Small Heath player or not I wish him well.

GonzoAvfc Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Just seen the video of it, looks pretty horrific, especially as all he did was jump up to contest a header. Poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMFy Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Haven't seen this, but I wish the lad well and hope he can come back from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Was expecting a horror-tackle going off of the severity of the injury but it just seems to snap as he lands from a jump. Bizarre. Must have absolutely killed though. Poor lads contract runs out at the end of the season too, he's gunna have a lot of work to do to get his career back on track after that.

TrentVilla Posted January 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2013 Chances of Small Heath doing the right thing by the lad beyond his contract? Slim to none I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LockStockVilla Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 In their current state, the chances of them looking after the lad are virtually nonexistent. Shame for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 A blues fan i know has posted on twitter that the accounts have been released and they've made a profit. Is this true? Sounds like rubbish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Yes they have posted a 15million profit through player sales, they made a 4 million loss without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Of course this is a smokescreen. If that is the case then they wouldnt be so desperate to sell their players. In addition Peter Pans gloom statement he made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 To put it simply from june 2011 to june 2012, they recorded an operating loss of 4million, but they made a 15million profit through player sales, that profit had gone on keeping the club running up until now, now the moneys run out they need to sell again to run until the summer. From what i can see they have a wage bill of about £40million, which is twice as much as it needs to be in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunRickyRun Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Profit & cold hard cash are 2 completely separate matters. I'd imagine (before the subsequent write downs) that Northern Rock were posting profits right up until they went under. Posting a profit might make them more attractive to potential buyers but it's their cash flow that matters in terms of administration. Flogging your assets to raise enough cash to pay your creditors is never a good situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
