Not exactly #WishWeWereBirmingham but Kyogo has looked a really good player when I’ve seen him.

Brum will walk the league, IMO. They’re on the same ascendancy as we were in 2011 and Ipswich more recently. Leicester will be up there, too.

wonder if our 2011/12 squad impressed other fans prior to the season starting?

In terms of goal output, only 4 goals in 47 games in Saudi Arabia suggests otherwise

And who was he playing with? It's not as simple as looking at stats. On paper, plenty of players who look great often end up falling over.
Demari Gray was at Everton not long ago, regularly starting in the PL. For Birmingham, that's a good signing IMO.

No nothing about the Birmingham squad except they have the England U21 forward, defensively sound and had enough to excel last season with a record points total. They must have something about them and happy to reinforce squad this season.

Needless to say. If we end up with Downes, downs, and suga all playing - We need to modify a certain fall out boy chorus...

I watched them a fair bit last season including taking in a couple of games at St Andrews. They are a decent outfit.

Of course with the caveat that it was against lower level opposition.

May have been shared already, but interesting podcast covering the PSR finances.

Covers Wrexham, Birmingham, Wednesday, Leicester in detail. Then meanders around a few other teams - touches on ourselves and Ipswich, and also briefly on the costs of staying up etc.

Does sound like Leicester are in trouble tbh.

Look at how other clubs are setting precedent for accounting tricks, spend a fortune, if needed sell your women's team to a sister company to plug the gap. If you have owners willing to spend their own money it's quite easy 

Look how we fund the other clubs in our groups success by loaning them our players and buying theirs.
