<> Birmingham City <>

Lost 6 - 1 against Blackpool.

Could be manager Lee Bowyer is getting the sack, Birmingham City fans not
been happy with the owners all season.

I posted Appleton left Lincoln City, not put Warburton (QPR] Mowbray [Blackburn], while
they are still in charge to the end of the season.
Birmingham City [I reported before], looking like manager Lee Bowyer leaving the club.

[ + Bowyer I think at Birmingham City to come ]

With new owners set to come into Birmingham City, Lee Bowyer's managers job seems to be balanced everyday,
with Mark Warburton now mentioned to be in contention, for the position
[ West Ham United owner David Sullivan is reported to be backing Laurence Bassini's £35m bid for Birmingham,
with Sullivan funding £33m of the bid, with a clause which states Sullivan would go on to take control of " the
property assets of the club " ].
But their are other bids in for the club.

David Sullivan was the previous owner of Birmingham City, which he sold to Hong Kong businessman
Carson Young 13 years ago for £81.5m.

Sullivan would need EFL permission to fund a sale, with conflict of interests.

Rob Edwards has walked out of FGR to go to Watford.

Chairman is claiming he was tapped up.

A club statement read: "Rob was a key part of the team that gained promotion to League One this season. We're disappointed that our support, loyalty and honesty towards Rob has been repaid in this way - with negotiations taking place behind our backs.

"We had no contact from Watford, from whom we might expect less, but in any event this kind of behaviour gives football a bad name. We thank Rob for all his work at FGR - forgive him the manner of his departure and wish him well."

Think thats a daft move for Rob Edwards with Watfords record for getting rid of managers.

Its a bloody good job, more money sacked after 6mths &a big pay off. Ron Atkinson made a living out of it.

I was reading about Watford going for Edwards today, he's moved fast in leaving FGR, money talks.
