Re: All the negativity

No1, They sacked Rowett for 'allegedly' not signing a new contract, and 'making himself available' for other football clubs vacancies. It had absolutely nothing to do with the fans disenchantment with, what you call 'Boring' football. I think most Blues fans were waiting to see who he would sign, once he had money to spend. That squad he had was built on a shoestring budget.
Zola was very much, a left of field appointment, I doubt if one Blues fan had him as a potential manager. He was very much a 'busted flush', having been sacked from his last two managerial positions, at Saudi and France, respectively, prior to joining Blues. It was Panos, on behalf of the 'new owner's who stated they wanted to change the type of football played by the previous manager, Rowett, and play a more attractive style of football. That was a none starter.

No2. The original idea was to give Cottrell the manager's job, with Redknapp in a Director of Football position. The owners decided to change their minds in close season, and offer Redknapp the manager's job. The 'mess up was made by messrs Vetere, Dein, and Ren, they didn't sign one player off Redknapp's list, NOT ONE.

No3. Yes, there were 'some' who wanted Cottrell, and, yes, he won a Mail poll, but, who, and how many took part, is another story. THAT was when the FFP 'issue's first started. Cottrell wasn't allowed to bring in ANY players, AT ALL. There were rumours of a 'soft' embargo, which was FIRMLY DENIED by the club, even to the Blues trust, they REPEATEDLY DENIED IT.

No4. The club, through Ren, MISLED Monk on what was available, and what he COULD or COULDN'T do in the transfer market. It since transpired that if Monk DID know the FULL EXTENT, he probably wouldn't have joined us. Ren was repeatedly told again and again that we were breaching FFP, LONG BEFORE Monk SET FOOT INTO St Andrews, Rens answer ? To SACK THOSE WHO WERE TELLING HIM. We were bidding for lots of players before we Signed Pedersen, which bought the FFP problem to a head. It was ALL through the stewardship of Ren and the owners, they put the bids in for Bailkowski, Grabban etc, NOT Monk.

I genuinely believe the owners have NEVER listened to, or made any decisions based on the supporters opinions. I cannot see for one minute Ren feeding the supporters wishes back to Hong Kong, where most of the owners are, NOT in Birmingham, or even the British Isles, where in lies the biggest reason for the disconnect.

I think most Blues supporters knew this, so, it makes me wonder if you are a Blues fan, or a wind up merchantfrom the dark side of the A38.

The one constant throughout the whole debacle since Dec 2016 is Ren, say no more !!!
