    Laird gone to Birmingham

    Laird has signed with Brum.

    Birmingham City sign full-back Ethan Laird from Premier League club Manchester United for an undisclosed fee.


    I wonder how many of the team from last season will be starting the first match of the next.

    Any guesses?

    I’m going to say 6.

    I played sunday league football today.

    Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

    I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

    We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

          Some Americans will complete a takeover of nearly 47% of the club on 13th July. I guess thst comes with new investment for the squad.

              He’s was out of contract at United, and Birmingham will surely cop a large wedge from Jude Bellingham deal, although haven’t read that anywhere.

                  No idea.

                  Perhaps all debts were converted to shares and the part takeover percentage was on the basis of the bigger share issue. I wouldnt be surprised to see their FFP cycle back to zero. But thats guesswork on my part.

                  Theyve had money problems for years so these new part owners must be bringing an investment to the operationsl budget too?

                    They've signed Bliek from Derby, two serious knee injuries and Miyoshi from Antwerp, missed last season, knee injury.

                    Owners seduced by agents or manager wanted them. I reckon former.
