Filled my car up over the road from St.Andrew’s yesterday and then saw Josh McGuinness at the services with the Wigan squad on the way home from Birmingham, it’s a sign I tell ya
Birmingham are a mess off the pitch too, as they have 2 stands which are "going down". It's rumoured that the lower tiers of the Kop and Tilton, which have been closed all season, will have to be rebuilt, due to structural failings
They're the two new stands as well, albeit probably 20 + years old now.
Did they just slap some seats over the old terracing?

I thought they were going to move to the Commonwealth Games Stadium.

They built new structures over the rubble of the old terrace.

Shame always liked going to St Andrews, a bit on the rough side but better then an athletics stadium.

Bowyer, Taylor, Phillips...money chasers who hardly set the league above up on fire.
Usual story. Any player that signs for Charlton from a smaller/lower team is obviously doing it for the love of the club, but any good player that leaves us for a bigger/higher team is a money grabbing judas.

And if they join us they’re showing ambition, if they leave they weren’t that good anyway.
Those three are all competing in the Championship, why do they need to set the league on fire to justify leaving?

Out of the fat and into the frying pan, surely everyone in football knew Birmingham were a basket case at the time, surely it’s down to due diligence on the managers part?
“Maybe I'm gullible, but the reason I say when I leave this club, whenever I leave this club, is that I know I have done everything I said I would do.
“I can honestly say I have done that.”
I don't think anyone would accuse Bowyer of being "gullible". He's as streetwise as anyone. Which is why nothing that ever happens untoward at any club he's managed has ever been his fault including the fact that Birmingham have won less games than any team in the division bar two. The likes of Derby, Hull, Blackpool, Reading, Bristol City etc etc have all done better in that respect and they haven't got a bean to rub together between them either.
Surely, if true, with the owners reputation that’s just naive.
He probably knows he's on the way out the door so is past the point of caring how the owners react.
The timing of his move from us to them definitely felt like him jumping before being pushed. It wasn't a case of him being lured away with the promises of riches.
He's not stupid and I doubt he genuinely believed what they told him - he'll have been aware of the ownership's reputation. That doesn't mean he can't use it to his advantage now.
It's all about maintaining an image/reputation so he can get a crack at another job.

You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.
Very harsh.

Always has an excuse doesn’t he? Always someone else’s fault.

wasnt keen whilst he was here, but benefit of the doubt whilst here.
all the bravado, somewhat bullying players, the bollocks that he’s “a winner” and doesn’t do losing!
he’s gone to brum thinking he’ll have plenty of money to buy who he wants (aka his mates from Charlton) rather than working hard
Be interesting to see where he ends up next season, it ain’t going to be at BCFC.
