You have a point but I think barring the likes of McCormack, elphick and tish we have invested well. Funny enough we have spent better on smaller signings like bree, hourihane and lansbury. I think all three will be class next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been out of work for 2 years since leaving that huge club QPR in the shit. He also has the big names of Portsmouth and Bournemouth on his CV another couple of clubs who found themselves with financial woes not long after he walked out the door. The guy is a charlatan. A good bullshitter who the press love as with his big cockney wide boy gob he can't resist giving them a story. I give him until Christmas before he walks out citing knee trouble, his missus not wanting him to work or his dog needing a hand with his tax returns. Forgot to respond to this. You forgot yo mention spurs and he also should have got England job in my opinion at the time when he was overlooked for that dinosaur hodgson. He is a big name and can persuade players to join blose. They are certainly be able to attract better players I think than they would have under someone like Cottrell or Pearson. But I do hope the last paragraph of your post comes true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Platt Posted May 12, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 12, 2017 I think he has seen the naivety of the owners and thought bingo I can milk the cash. The only owner who looked at his ways of working and thought it will cripple us long term is Levy. Harry did a decent job at Spurs to be fair but his way of working was not sustainable long term. His other jobs where he could talk the talk to owners. You only have to look where those clubs are or were after he had left them. Get the popcorn out as this will be fun.

I don't agree, if you think about the concerns are there. we blew a lot of money with the intention of going up. we failed miserably this year just like we did under Lerner post mon (even that could be deemed a failure considering we blew champions league) the warnings are there if we continue to spend recklessly and don't achieve promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Blosers being linked with various hasbeens like samba, assou-akou. Please let this happen these are the kind of signings that he leaves the club in a mess. Gives them big wages on short term deals that the players don't care about and no long term plan for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Quote Birmingham City: Panos Pavlakis steps down from Blues' board of directors BCFC announced Pavlakis had resigned following a close shave with relegation Panos Pavlakis has resigned from his place on Birmingham City’s board of directors with immediate effect. Blues broke the news on Friday morning, revealing that Pavlakis was stepping down to “pursue other opportunities”. He has also left his role as director of the Birmingham City Ladies, too. The 140th anniversary at Birmingham City Football Club. Panos Pavlakis with Trevor Francis (Photo: Roy Smiljanic and Birmingham City Football Club) In a short statement on their website, Blues added: “The club would like to thank Panos for his service and efforts and wishes him the very best for the future.” Pavlakis was appointed to the board in January 2014 and had also held a similar position on the Birmingham International Holdings board. During his time at the club, Blues avoided relegation on two occasions, sacked Lee Clark, appointed and sacked Gary Rowett and appointed Gianfranco Zola - and consequently Harry Redknapp. Click I actually think he helped Blose a lot so this is actually good news God knows who candleface will be liaising with now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted May 19, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2017 Redknapp sniffing around Robbie Keane according to balls.ie. That would be a cracking signing for them, so this is bad news in the grand scheme. Can you imagine him with his guile, technique and intelligence in this league of muppets?
