Striking Options
Gary Rowett was quoted yesterday on the official Birmingham City website as saying that a lack of end product in front of goal was an issue. This came after what was a fairly toothless performance at Easter Road against a second string Hibernian team with just two weeks left before the start of the season.

Bradshaw and Blues
Walsall striker Tom Bradshaw was placed on the transfer list yesterday at his own request as the Welsh striker confirmed he was looking for Championship football. Predictably, this has once again led to a number of Blues fans asking why the club have not put in a bid for the young striker.

Trials and Tribulations
Birmingham City have taken former Dutch international Dwight Tiendalli as they ratchet up their pre-season training in Marbella. The full-back was released by mutual consent from Swansea on September 1 last year and hasn’t played a professional game since turning out for Middlesbrough on loan in the Championship against Brighton in May 2015.

Scapegoats and the Sun
Former Birmingham City head of PR and Communications Andy Walker has seemingly incurred the wrath of The Sun, appearing on the front page today accused of infuriating fans because of the implied luxury that comes with his role as Head of Communications at the FA.

Beale Attains Pro Licence
Blues were proud to announce yesterday that Development Squad coach Richard Beale has attained the top coaching qualification in football having been awarded his UEFA Pro Licence. Beale is the third Blues coach after Kristjaan Speakman and Paul Harsley to have attained the qualification with Steve Spooner and Gary Rowett himself both also studying for it.

The right kind of investment
There has been news of a couple of good additions to the club this week despite the lack of players coming in so far in the transfer window. The appointment of Ewan Chester as Football Consultant will beef up the scouting system and give Gary Rowett more options to choose from while the £450,000 investment to improve the “dome” at Wast Hills will add to the improvements made within the Academy.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race
It’s been a weird few days for this Blues fan; after all our travails with Carson Yeung there is almost schadenfreude watching someone else getting scrutinised in the press in the manner Carson probably should have been.

Another Chinese Takeaway
A certain team playing in B6 look to become the second team in the city to be owned by a company based in the far east when it was announced today on their official website that they were to be bought by the Recon Group, with Dr Tony Xia Jiantong to be named as chairman. As I’ve got a bit of experience in dealing with Chinese stuff, I thought I’d take a closer look.
