Specific questions like “why did you play ‘so and so’ in a particular game?”, “why are the shirts so expensive?”, “can we get better beer in the concourses?”. And yes, I’ve actually heard all of these questions before…

Two candidates to buy or for the manager’s job?

They are by and large a PR exercise of course, but I generally enjoy listening. I think the panel try to be as open as possible, but the thing that always irks me is the number of idiotic questions from the floor - either irrelevant or too specific “why are you playing xxx?”. Also, people love giving long winded intros to their questions which no one wants to hear, and wastes time. I hope Blackmore vets the questions, weeds out the ridiculous ones, and manages the floor better this time.

Anyone watching the new Birmingham City / Tom Brady documentary on Amazon Prime? They totally screwed up by hiring Rooney, but definitely seem to have it right with Chris Davies, he’s very impressive. Reason for posting here… in the first episode they referenced “Trying to buy a PL club but we got messed around” - before turning their attention to Birmingham. In the back of my head this was maybe Sheff Utd, but I did wonder ‘it wasn’t us was it’?! They have very big plans for Birmingham, including a new 62k stadium.

You’d be hard pressed to think of a worse place for him to go. Oddest of moves - footballer’s graveyard and not sure he’ll thrive under the pressure from their deluded fans.

Plenty of our players are guilty of that! Without Matty we lack guile. Desperately need someone to fill that role and provide a creative spark. Too many of our midfielders are workers/pedestrian. Brooks may not be the answer but he had a very good second half of the season at Bournemouth.

Wonder if they’re considering David Brooks? If fit, he might fit the bill. Or bring back Stuey Armstrong!

He’s still at 25/1 on Bet365. Some of their odds are very generous.

Mate sent me this (as posted on another forum)🤣 #ArgosSaints

Agree, assuming we keep most of those listed I think we’ll be fine up front. Where we are lacking is #10 / creative midfielders. If/when we lose Matty & Dibling we are going to be in dire straits in that department.

Rather he went to Atleti anyway (clearly I’d rather keep him, but fear that’s not going to happen…).

Wow, didn’t know he was Lewis Moody’s son. Sure I heard somewhere that Rick Wakeman’s Grandson was in the Academy too? Lallana’s sprog aside, any other sleb progeny in our ranks?

I got 25/1 on Damien Downs. Unlikely, but the odds were too tempting!

My pal who is a Weds fan thinks they won’t start the season and may fold altogether. Desperate times for a great old club.

Good luck to him. Decent money too.

That’s a really ridiculous statement.

Someone from the ‘Make A Wish Foundation’.

Dame Chloe Kelly… the campaign starts here!🤣

YESSSSSS!!!!!!! 🏆

😬

Joe Pasquale wasn’t available…

Bronze nowhere for that…

Lauren James putting in her usual half-hearted performance…

Great save from Baz

I’m not sure we’ll be in a position to snatch a late win if it’s Spain in the final, but regardless I hope she acts more quickly with the subs if we’re behind…
