Talk Birmingham City

will.butcher61d ago

Play offs or just below for me. Probs go to the final few games and miss out - seems pretty atypical of BCFC

shamanth.jayaram61d ago

No chance they make the playoffs, even though that should be the aim. I’ll stick my neck out and say they finish 15th

tyler.rowlinson61d ago

I think Chris Davies costs Birmingham playoffs this season. I don’t see him lasting the full season. Blues have a great squad, but with him as boss, they won’t get very far. Round about 10th or 11th I reckon

He had some good moments at Hamburg - I presume he’d replace Ducksch, though I’m not confident he’d get as many goals

eoin66d ago

Still feel another striker is needed after Vasquez, looks like Ducksch is leaving

dantowen8195167d ago

Shame they couldn’t keep Wagner!

Really not sure on this one… that goal record looks pretty meh. If he can chip in with 7/8 that’d be decent

eoin82d ago

Only if Birmingham get to the Prem by then, can't see a player like that dropping down divisions before retiring... Could be wrong though

seanfisher82d ago

Any Birmingham fan should just forget it. It’s not happening, never will, it’s a pipe dream 😂

peter.lynch82d ago

Don’t see why not! Would love to see it, and what number they would give him 👀

Birmingham became the first team in English history to win a major cup at Wembley and suffer relegation from the Premier League in the same season (2011). They were the first English club to play in a European competition - the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup in 1955. They were also the first English club to reach a European final - losing to Barcelona in 1960.

Definitely an over-used term and I don’t think Birmingham qualify for it.

jonny125d ago

Sleeping giant is way too overused. Villa, Forest and Leeds feel like they could be considered a sleeping giant given history, but Birmingham are not and never have been that big!

dale.odonnell125d ago

Big stadium so they have the foundations to be a big club. Sleeping giant is a stretch.

I think Chris Davies will hold them back in truth… people forget it’s his first ever job in management. He’s so inexperienced and that showed at different points last season. They are in a similar boat to Wrexham I feel… perhaps need to shake hands with the gaffer and bring a proven promotion specialist in to replace him

josh.barker125d ago

They need to finish in the top 8 for promotion now but this season is so much stronger. Running out of time to make it to the PL though. Spent so much money in last two seasons an SCR will become a problem if promotion doesn’t happen

charlesjones125d ago

Think the manager has to change if Birmingham want to go up. He’s decent but he’s not at ‘that’ level.

dantowen81951123d ago

Poor Koscielny still remembers that brutal hair ruffle 😂

jamie.brown82125d ago

Football is about winning 🏆 and beating Arsenal made it even better!!!

charlesjones125d ago

Think a fair few would say the Villa game from that cup run

markmarston125d ago

This will sound mental but… Thomas Frank? The owners are incredibly ambitious… they’ll put him on a big wedge and back him in the market. Frank built up with Brentford so he may find the project attractive

Just like players, every manager has a ceiling and I think he’s reached his now

dantowen81951123d ago

Depends if Davies is replaced by a manager who can get more out of Kyogo. Priske seems a better fit for the Champ at present

dantowen81951123d ago

Dugarry, brief but brilliant

freddie124d ago

Idk why but I have a weird memory of Zigic… probably his height 😅

dale.odonnell125d ago

Nicky Butt

josh.barker125d ago

Another 5-6 to strengthen the squad depth
