    Be easier to post a list - it would be a short one - of clubs which are NOT in financial dire straits (Money for Nothing and your kicks for free .. does not happen)

    A striker called Hales? Would never work.

    Burke is a decent player but as we have no dosh and they will nearly all be on big wages can't see us shopping in the bull ring

    Almost 40 players in their squad - although some will be kids, I suppose.

    Killer at number 35 .

    No takers for number 23?

    Little wonder Brum is in the financial mire .. all those (mostly useless) mouths to feed. I make it a 'first team squad' of 37, quite a ridiculous number of players

    Got no sympathy for them at all, the fans are total scumbags to be honest. I will never forget what the fans did to the junior reds bus in the 90's.

    Here here, and also the game when Sasa had the game of his life and kept it at 0-0 to stop them getting in the playoffs. They were all spitting at us and just generally behaving like scum bags. No time for them at all!! Also my company is based there so always like to see them lose.

    Ditto, was the same in the late 60's when the windows were put in on our coach, bit draughty on the way back :-(

    Can't get the vision of a load of unwilling widows being put on a supporters coach, out of my head.

    Burke, but as Henry says, the wages are probably nuts having spent time with financial fair players Rangers, Cardiff and Brum

    This could happen to any club that is attractive and is actively seeking Financial investment. The main problem here as i see it is that this Dodgy Character Yeung was able to buy the club based on being Fit and proper?
    In Fairness it shouldn't be about liking or disliking The supporters but how this has happened & i think it needs to be addressed by the F.A.
    I think it's a shame in as much that we wouldn't wish it upon our club.

    I think the definition of 'fit & proper', when concerning a football club's potential owner seems to be: "appears to have lots of money".

    Exactly Leroy.

    And maybe Birmingham City through no fault of their own could end up going down the leagues, and all because some dodge pot thought it would look nice on the old portfolio.
