The forum on Birmingham City's relegation
Sympathy is in short supply on the Betfair football forum after Birmingham's Premier League exit, with Alex McLeish, Ben Foster and Barry Ferguson criticised and a lengthy stay in the Championship predicted...
"Birmingham City look like a club in terminal decline. They have no money to spend and are now on the slippery slope. This time I think we've seen the last of this boring crew for a long time." - larry grayson
"Blackpool and Birmingham fans can take relegation, they can even take playing in the Championship, however Europa League football on Channel 5 on a Thursday night...someone pass the rope!" - Ukmallia
"They fully deserved to be relegated given their displays in the last five or six games. I reckon they'll be mid-table at best in the Championship next year." - Dan Chipowski
"Alex McLeish has spent fortunes compared to the teams he was battling relegation with. Blackpool, Wigan and Wolves couldn't have spent £6 million each on Nikola Zigic and Ben Foster for starters." - Tucho
"Ben Foster can concentrate on the Championship now that he doesn't want to play for England!" - T.M.O
"Barry Ferguson got his just desserts. He made a lasting impression on me for his performance at Wembley. His shaming of his country's jersey was bad enough but he really scraped the barrel following Birmingham's winning goal (gleefully slapping Laurent Koscielny on the head). Don't mistake this for Gooner bitterness. I'm certainly not but Ferguson's cheap behaviour was seriously disturbing." - capewine
"I don't want to rub it in but Birmingham's relegation was well deserved. What a negative, turgid, boring squad they have assembled there." - buzzer
"Strange, I thought their home form would keep them up, but correct the negativity got them in the end." - stu
"Serious question for Birmingham supporters, totally irrelevant but just out of interest: would you give up the Carling Cup win for Premier League survival?" - Bish Bosher
