Disco Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If we are still interested in Gardner, how about seeing if he'll take Guthrie as part-ex? More realistic than Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about just not signing Gardner He'd be decent back up to Cabaye/Tiote imo. Gets goals, tidy on the ball, young etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Routledge doesn't go to QPR, he'll definitely end up there. At least 2 of our players will be there come August... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 See if he'll take Vuckic on loan for a season or something. They can be like our feeder club. Cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not but he'll know the players we have in our squad probably available, and will know he can get them to help them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the national media we treated Fat Sam terribly, but it hasn't stopped him dealing with Ashley and handing Nolan a bumper contract...approved by the national media. How ironic is that?

Cronky Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 He deserves another chance. It's interesting that he's had to wait a bit and ended up back in the Championship, which indicates that he needs another success before he's secured his reputation. He's inherited a club in a similar situation to ourselves when he took over. If he can perform the same trick, no-one can doubt him. Ummm.... I've a nagging feeling that Crumpy is right though.

Yup Birmingham will be a good test to see how good he really is. He did fantastic in the Championship but he was also aided by a fantastic squad (by championship standards). Don't think he is as good a manager as some make him out to be but wish him well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, and I've liked him for over 30 years - not like you Johnny-come-latelys! Btw, did you guys know he used to be a lift engineer? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Mixed feelings. I really wish Chris all the success in the world and I'd love to see Birmingham drop another two divisions. Anything to keep them away from the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I wish him all the luck in the world. Now I'd love to see Villa begin to fail miserably and get relegated next season as Brum come up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between buying the top scorer and captain of your former club and loaning out some young players that you have to give back after a season.

womblemaster Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 i think he will fail to get them promoted. Few drop teams have a junior in the ranks like AC, who happens to explode at the right time. Reckon he will finish in the top 10, depends on finance ofcourse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanSkÃrare Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 He'll hopefully be able to keep the core of their squad and establish a team spirit similar to the one we had here. Fewer players of genuine class this time around for him (they're likely to loose Dann, Johnson, Zigic, Bowyer). If Gardner stays he's got a player and leader in the making to build that side around. They need better strikers though, can see him going for Best and Ranger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
