Personally I think the board should be appalled at their own actions for using the minority fans as a scapegoat for failing to conclude the deal. And before I go any further, might I say that my opinion on LB is that if SB wants him at the club thats good enough for me, even though I think we could get equally good targets. Thus my only criticisim of him is a purely footballing one. Now to return to the board, here's a few things that I can't get my head around: 1) Why would LB care what a minority of fans think? He has been criticised and booed by a great deal more of fans up at newcastle. I can't see that he's that much of the vulnerable type 2) Why would the board reveal the petition to him? Just sign here please lee, and oh, here's a petition of a 150 or so people who don't want you to join. Granted he could have found it out himself but remeber it only first went public when sullivan spilt the beans on it, AFTER the deal stalled. And I for one think that this was a knee jerk reaction to failing to land the deal - or maybe i've been reading too many dan brown conspiracy stories 3) How can a piece of paper, containing such a small minority can have any effect on a transfer? Does a club the size of birmingham or a player like LB really care about such a microscopic proportion of fans? - I just cannot see how on earth the petition had any effect. its not as if 20 or 30 thousand fans turned up to protest is it? For those who are upset and feel the club has been made a mockery of, who are calling for people to be barred left right and centre, dare I say that maybe mr sullivan or whoever brought this out into the public think twice about their actions. After all, the voice of an influential chairman will travel much further in the press than 150 fans. Surely this could have been dealt with more tactfully instead of gross over-reaction. KRO |

Don't be such an idiot. Would you go to a club/job where some people don't want you, know matter how many? Why would you when you can wait and find somewhere else where you are appreciated. IF I were Lee I'd tell Blues to forget it too? And who said the board told him about the petition. Don't you think he reads the paper, or his agent does? And some of you blame the board for using this as a scapegoat. Have proof of that do you? Get real, stop creating conspiracy theories and base argument on fact. How will Steve Bruce feel now when he's lining up his next player. Umm, now will the fans want him or not? Well, if I go for him and the fans don't want him I'll look a prat won't I. Nah, tell you what, forget it. I'll leave and let the fans choose the team. |

If Lee Bowyer finds a club with less than a few hundred people disliking him then he's a lucky man |

I think the subsequent posters have aptly proved my point with regard to what influences a player. Before bowyer's move to newcastle, a lot more toon fans opposed the move than blues fans have. But he still went, so whats different here? And he couldn't have read it in the papers, because how did it get into the papers in the first place? It only happened AFTER Sullivan flipped his lid and went on a rant to the press. THAT is how this mess started. Call me an idiot if you like but there's no way a petition fo a hundred or so fans will generate half as much media frenzy as an influential chairman's statement. |

Part of the reason for this sudden blame culture is that many of the points raised about Bowyer not signing have been logical and well constructed.... They haven't been one liners which is the intellectual limit of many on this Board! The "one liners" do not have the intellectual capability to construct a well reasoned arguement in favour of Bowyer's signing.... If 150 people have been able to dissuade Bowyer from joining the Blues what does this say about his belief in Birmingham City? Probably the same as it did when he rejected us the Season before last, joined West Ham and couldn't stop them being relegated! And they are his home team so his heart would have been there too! Two points: (1) Let all those who want Bowyer state their case without any of the "No" Brigade getting involved.... This can then be passed on and should be a comparative roar of approval from what we are being told.... Remember this Forum has over 6000 members.... (2) We need players at our Club who are confident and believe in their own ability on the pitch and if Bowyer is so insecure in his ability to change the minds of 150 people then he definitely isn't the man for the job!!! |
