Blues' acting chairman Peter Pannu has reiterated the club's aims to grow from strength to strength under a sustainable framework. In an exclusive interview with bcfc.com he explained how the hard work to enhance the squad, as well as the infrastructure off the pitch, will continue in earnest but that it will be done so with the long-term stability of the club in mind. Yesterday sections of the national written media sensationalised Alex McLeish quotes about building for the future and implied in their story introductions and headlines that the Blues manager was putting pressure on the club's Board for money for players. Putting the record straight, Pannu (pictured) said: "It's disappointing that certain papers have misrepresented a story. It's also lazy journalism as the quotes were simply taken from a Birmingham Mail story the day before and then spun and sensationalised. "Our manager, Alex McLeish, works very closely with the Board and we are, of course, committed to taking this club forward on and off the pitch. We are working hard, day in, day out, to that end. "All of us want to enhance the squad and we will continue to do so within the budgets the club has set that ensure a financially secure long-term future and work within the framework and spirit of the 'financial fair play' rules that are being introduced in football. "We have shown we will spend money where it is required - since we took over at this club we have signed no less than Michel, Craig Gardner, Enric Valles, Nikola Zigic and Ben Foster. "When you include salaries this represents an outlay of over £30million so I don't think we could be accused of not spending money. And, as Alex has eluded to in today's press, we have other situations that we are currently looking at with a view to making further signings. "From what I have seen on the message boards from supporters the majority understand this entirely and know that to do something properly sometimes it takes time and a sensible plan. It's good that our fans don't believe what they read in a couple of sensationalised tabloid papers. "We are all looking forward to the start of the new Barclays Premier League season, which is creeping ever closer, with excitement and anticipation and we're working hard to try and get more new faces in for when we kick-off against Sunderland on 14 August." Hello Peter! |

Carson's wealth that he brings to Birmingham City is a consotium. He is more a broker of wealth to our club than an individual billionnaire. As for being treated like a mushroom may I suggest not living under a tree often helps. **thumbup |

Best thing to do is get out into the light. Sitting alone in the dark can make you paranoid :kiss: |

Hi all, First let me say that I support our board 100% and I admire them for not getting ripped off when buying players but I really wish Peter had not used this phrase, " "When you include salaries this represents an outlay of over £30million so I don't think we could be accused of not spending money". I seem to have heard this somewhere before and if a player signs for 4 years, he doesn't have 4 years wages up front. So this money isn't spent. The problem is, it opens them up to the cynics. Just my two penny worth for what its worth. |

You could try changing your washing powder. You could try not wearing socks, especially with sandals or flip-flops. However I like Chinese proverb....why wash your socks in washing machine when that is what wife for. **thumbup |
