He's made enough money out of being a Brummie all his career. Pity he can't put some of his millions into his beloved Blues :angry: |

I doubt he's made enough to make the sort of difference we need |

In 2008 his fortune was estimated at £50m - he made most of his money from having shares in Celador who made "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" |

Like he said, he's already been a director and doesn't want to do it again. |

So to make any real difference he'd have to put in half his wealth |

Having listened to the link I thought it was quite an honest appraisal and in no way controversial.He's just some one who supports the club. **thumbup |

Spot on, most on here have said nearly the same things as Jasper. And just because his is a celebrity some think he should dip into his own pocket to get Carson out of this mess. He as helped the club many times before, but most forget this. He is just a supporter like the rest of us, and was asked for his thoughts, if the board and other supporters don't like them then so be, but like on here we all have our opinions, and entitled to them |

I've known "Bob" since he was a folk singer ( but his folk was more sarcasm than Delta Blues.) Instead of "I woke up this morning...." He did " I woke up this afternoon..." Still funny - to me like (But not in the US anymore - it was 30 years ago remember ! - not anymore. Neither are Jasper's "country" sarcasms acceptable anymore in the USA. Dead dogs, dead cows etc....Old hat and offensive.Which is probably why he can't get gigs in the US anymore. Old material.... Which can be offensive since Homeland and 9/11.... New culture awareness needed, Jasper ! Jasper hasn't moved on, caught up with anything. Still latching onto Blues being useless - on the pitch or off the pitch. That was his Raison d'être **thumbup Blues are useless...laugh at me because I support Blues...if you are laughing at me...it means I'm funny...Blues are also funny... Jasper, by default, may have caused Blues more ridicule through his jokes and knocks than he anticiptated. As I said - Bob Davis was a wannabe folk singer when I knew him - in the 60s. I actually told him that I was "doing" Art and Pure Maths ---and that allowed me to paint IBM machines.(As I set up his Amp) He made that conversation a part of his subsequent gigs as he rolled over from wannabe folk to wannabe Billy Connolly - who was his role model. I Love Bob - well, I have a high regard for him like. I do know he loves Blues, but Blues also provide most of his material - ---AS LONG AS WE ARE A FIGURE OF FUN. JASPER GET'S A GIG. :LMAO: Thanks Willie **thumbup Could've missed this like. Posted Image Bob ----IT'S TIME .........to support Blues **thumbup Instead of milking us for jokes. Put something back man. How about a bit of support forBlues - future generations, so they might respect you ? Why - in your OAP age - do you need to still ridicule Blues-- to get a laff? Come on man, I carried your Amp and gave your a few stories and jokes. You used them. I didn't bother. Now, you are back to Square One - - "I support Birmingham" -= Have a laugh. Sorry Mr Davis - enough is enough. Old jokes don't go away, they just die man. Remember what you said about Groucho ? Obviously not man :boohoo: |

Sounds like old Jasper needs to read this because im sure most of us think you've gone insane.. :LOL: Only kidding, the kind of thing he needs to read to be put back down to earth and realise what he could do in terms of in our eyes, (the) :whistle: Blues fans |

Anybody see Jaspers interviews before the Carling Cup? Puts a different spin on things. Give the guy a break. It's what he does, he's a comedian. At least he's still proud enough to stand up and call himself a blue nose even during the Kumar days, where most of his material came from. All things said, he's a proud brummie and blue nose and ain't afraid for the world to know it. I'll bet you there's plenty out there who would disguise the fact they support an unfashionable team |

Was at the game yesterday, he came over on the VIP package! I should have asked whether he paid for it or whether he was booked by the club to entertain the fans lol |

Totally agree, he's a lifelong bluenose and we have gained a lot of publicity from it. He might have been joking when he said that we're like a Chinese take away but unfortunately it has the ring of truth about it. |

http://www.metro.co.uk/sport/872788-jasper...nour-after-joke Jasper Carrott may be stripped of Birmingham City honour after joke Birmingham City club officials have threatened to rename the Jasper Carrott hospitality suite at St Andrew's after the comedian made a joke criticising the current regime at the club. Speaking at a recent golf tournament, Mr Carrott quipped: 'We are a laughing stock. St Andrew's is known as the "Chinese takeaway" now because managers phone up and go, I'll have a 29, an 18 and throw in a number No.3.' The comedian has long used the Midlands club as a source of humour in his act. Shortly after beating Arsenal in the League Cup final last season he said: 'We’d done s** all until we won the League Cup. That’s one reason why I supported them, because, being a comedian, it is ready-made material. 'When they started to be successful I had to go out and write half an hour of stuff on another subject.' But the latest gag is reportedly one step too far for club officials close to owner Carson Yeung - with sources telling The Daily Mirror that the scensoredy conference suite named after the 66-year-old comedian could undergo a name change unless matters are smoothed out. Despite Birmingham's League Cup success last season they dropped back down to the Championship and lost to Derby in their opening game in the second tier. They have already been forced to sell star names like Sebastian Larsson, Ben Foster and Roger Johnson, with centre-back Scott Dann heavily rumoured to be the next to leave. |

Why is it that we're proud of our ability to laugh at ourselves and engage in a bit of 'gallows humour', except when there's a scapegoat to be had? Some people defy belief. As for those calling for him to put his money in, give it a rest. |

Give the guy a break - he is as much a fan as you and I - and has been there during all the tough times. Personally I can laugh at his jokes about Blues, he only says what we all think - but there seem to be a lot of up tight attitudes. As to the Club response - if accurately reported - they have enough to worry about without taking a pot at Jasper. Still the sense of humour bypass has probably kicked in. |

In since months since winning the cup -our chairman has been arrested for money laundering -we have sold our top goal scorer on the cheap -we have been relegated -our manager left us for the villa.......the viiiila!!!! now if we cant laugh about it we would cry. only at our club would all those happen straight after being at our highest point. but its another reason why i love the blues so much, we dont do things in halves do we? *drumroll* |

But he is still innocent at the moment
But he was overrated and cr@p...plus he didn't have the heart for the club he claimed to in the media and to us fans .......6 million was the best business the club have done in decades **thumbup
Well that's hardly anything new......this has been the 7th relegation I've witnessed .....but most of the time we bounce back **thumbup
What bettter revenge and pain could we inflict on them ??
Lots of lows follow some clubs that have had success.....look at the demise of clubs like Forest, Derby, Ipswich and Leeds Albion, Leicester, Middlesboro ,Wolves and Sunderland are 'Yo Yo' clubs as well River Plate of Argentina were just relegated for the first time in their entire history after winning the equivalent of our Premier League a record 33 times In Italy, Juventus have fallen from grace and even long established clubs like Sampdoria and Torino are in their respective 2nd tier Ajax are no longer the force they used to be in Holland Monaco just suffered relegation in France and they appeared in The Champions League Final just seven years ago Happens to the best --------------- |
