thetrees Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 "Lee Clark 2/1 fav to be next championship manager gone" - I doubt they could afford to pay him off and appoint a replacement. Tom Ross might take the job on if Terry McD would want a pay rise to take over but I say leave Clark where he is he is my manager of the month! Clark is on £7k a week, or roughly 9% of Zigic's salary! I am not sure as to the length of his contract, but in football terms, it's peanuts. They have a final parachute payment in January, and will probably sell Burke. Looking okay to survive to the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongotastic Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Football is a crazy world. In what other scenario would someone be earning 10x that of his manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have already cashed in on final parachute payment earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my information that is spot on, and a third of the payment will go to clear that off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Surely once that parachute payment has been taken by Pannu and the rest of them, shit will hit the fan? I mean how can they carry on with no money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonLax Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Surely once that parachute payment has been taken by Pannu and the rest of them, shit will hit the fan? I mean how can they carry on with no money? You make money by being in the Championship. They seem to have gotten rid of all their premier league players so they can't have very many expences any more. Their current squad will have a Championship (or even League 1) wage bill, with the exception of the last 6 months of Zigic's contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongotastic Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 The best we can hope for is that a supporters trust takes them over and they continue to be somewhere between rubbish and mediocre with not a great deal of money. My fear is that in the future Birmingham will bid for the commonwealth games. That could mean there is a ready made new stadium for them to move into. That would be horrible.

Apart from an odd check in this thread, I really dont care. Exactly this. I enjoy a good chuckle at this thread, but that's the only way they ever enter my thoughts. They have 'fans' who will pay money to go and watch Villa on the off-chance that we lose, rather than following their own team. Unbelievable, Jeff.
