Birmingham

[Davy]

Just had a look at other leagues and noticed that in the Birmingham area, Birmingham. Aston Villa and Wolves are all in the championship...surely all with potential to realise 20k crowds or more if they were doing well. Yet probably the smallest of the clubs in the area, West Brom are in mid table in Premiership. Supporters of the 3 championship teams must be scratching their heads (or banging them off a wall)

Think WBA are the only 1 of the clubs who have been managed well behind the scenes.

Birmingham especially had serious problems, could barley sign a player for the last few years, that Carson Young boy was in jail for money laundering. Slowly coming out of it now.

Another of many English teams who overspent to stay in the EPL.
