    I had them down for relegation before these revelations, i hope they come out of the financial meltdown they appear to be in. I bet Burke is rueing the decision to join them.

    Happy to take Burke back if they are looking to trim their wage bill. :emoticon-0100-smile

    It would be worth spending a couple of hundred grand on if necessary.

    Getting onto the M6 above the M5 junction probably makes it a lot closer time wise. Spent enough time sat in queues around that junction over the last few years. <steam>

    Conway is better than Burke.

    Maybe so jck, but what if Conway is injured. It's a squad game not a team game. I think we are still light a couple of midfield players, especially out wide.

    I was a big fan of Burke but he wanted away, should be no way back.

    he want to be nearer his family and geographically I suppose he is but not quite what we had in mind. He'll not be very popular if he comes back. Just another money grabbing, disloyal mercenary

    Sadly it looks like they really are in deep ****, the following taken from a BFC forum,,,,,,,,,,,,

    1.Redunduncy's at the blues..On that day Wiseman stepped down..
    2.Blues owe £9million to HSBC and they will call it back..They now have!
    3.Gardner was sold for £4.5million no more
    4.Johnson was sold for £4.5million..dont believe what you read in tabloids, No where near £7million!
    5.We are linked with no one..Yesterday sky reported we have enquired about Nile Ranger this is not true.WE HAVE NO MONEY!
    6.No one will buy Ben Foster because he wont pass a medical..Now WBA have loaned him for £500k
    7.Apart from 5 players every player from last season handed in a transfer request..
    8.Scott Dann doesnt want to go to Stoke but the board are forcing him..Which makes sense because we have no money
    9.Barry Ferguson didnt want to join Blackpool but the board have forced him..
    10.3 sponsership deals were all lined up but have now pulled out because of Carson's money laundering..No we have Match by Match..
    They were 5 other points but i cant rememeber them..

    We are really in the **** lads.. Ticket prices are going to rise and players will be sold for pennys.. There will be no european dream because you cant be in adminastration and play in europe.. On the plus side there is 1 intrested party in China who are willing to buy Blues but this cant happen until the club is back on the Stock exchange for trading, so i reckon instead of doing stupid protests and behave like them idiots down the road did, why dont we get behind the manager and team and show those villa d1vs how good we are as fans.. i know its going to hard and a lot to take but we need to do this because if the fans turn there will be no hope for Birmingham City Football Club..

    Tough times at Brum.

    They have been regular rivals over the years and I hope they manage to find a way out of this. I was talking to a work contact from Brum this morning. He is a qualified accountant and feels admin will be the only way out as no one will do business with them on the back of the Carson Yeung revelations.

    Having seen us in a similar position (without the money laundering) I wish them well, despite all the players they have nicked off us.

    Really hope that Brum can find a way out of this mess, it's the fans that suffer.

    Don't have any particular love for Brum, especially after the way they took advantage of our financial woes. but it's the fans that suffer and I wouldn't wish this crap on the fans of ANY club, we've been to the brink and we know how bad it can be.

    I had Birmingham tipped to go back up

    I feel sorry for the fans in this situation, as no fan deserves to have their club in this state
