Look at that table there. Birmingham have taken 7 points from the last five games. We have taken four. They have lost two we have lost one.

Setting out to not lose is a losers outlook.

Great article Rich, I think you have it nailed it. For me, despite the poor form from December, JDT was the answer. He and his ambition scared the hell out of Swag and the other idiots behind the scenes at Ewood. If they had backed him last year we would have at least made the play offs and if they had backed him in the summer with a reasonable transfer kitty and salary budget, he would have taken us close again. They tried to crush his ambition and infectious enthusiasm and it became untenable for him and with him leaving, I really do worry about the future of our once great club. Scandalous.

Spot on again Rich

Great piece Rich, not least regarding the manager.  The debacle in January was the defining episode for this season though: sell you best player, loan your captain and lose your manager under comical circumstances, and then bugger up (again) your signings.  Nearly killed us.

Spot on the money Rich - sadly.

Personally gutted Gregg has gone, I think if JDT and this guy had been backed just a little bit more we would had something.. big opportunity missed for me.

Isn't it time EVERYONE recognised who is to blame for the shambles we have become.

To be honest, if you don't then you're missing a few connections upstairs.

Is it possible to check this with Rich Sharpe?

"Three of the new recruits have signed deals until the end of the season, joining Hyam*, Dolan, Hedges*, Markanday*, Sigurdsson, Gilsenan* as out of contract in 2025 (*known options)."

 

He seems to be stating that Hyam has an option (unless I am reading this wrong).

Not seen the club mention anything about this previously, and they do not normally neglect to include mention of such clauses, but guess that Sharpe may have heard something from the player/club at some point

As ever Rich, a pretty succinct appraisal of the situation
