Okay so I just wanted to post quickly to say how happy I am that Birmingham City finally managed to get something right and got themselves promoted back up to the Premiership.
Last week would have been better, but wasn't to be, but from the sound of things (I didn't actually get to see the game as the pub decided that a run-of-the-mill Liverpool v Newcastle game was more important than Birmingham's promotion game, just as they did last week with the Manchester United game) we played a good game this week and fully deserved the win and the promotion.
So once again we're back in the Premiership - which is good for me as I'll get to see more matches, and hopefully good for the club too, although I'm a little disturbed about a report in the Birmingham Mail last week in which they reported that David Gold had announced that we wouldn't be buying any new players next season as the £40M they'll get for going up has to be spent recouping the costs of gaining promotion. If that's the case then we'll be going straight back down again at the end of next season and with the number of fans the club has been losing recently, that definitely isn't a good thing.
Anyway, congratulations to the team and also to Alex McLeish, who, although he's not very popular at St Andrews, has done a fine job of keeping Birmingham in the top three (and mainly top two) all season. Fingers crossed that now we've returned to the top flight he'll be the sort of manager we need to keep us up there.
Keep right on!
