The Six Thousand Mile Gap
The intermittent saga of the Birmingham City takeover seems to have gone into another hiatus with absolutely nothing coming from either Paladini or Pannu in the past seven days. With less than six weeks now to go until January the likelihood of a deal being completed before the transfer window is slowly evaporating and the patience of Blues fans is being tested.

Pace, Age and Underinvestment
One of the most important things in a football team these days is pace. Blues lack pace – especially at the back and they suffered badly for it on Saturday as Sone Aluko swiftly breached the creaking Blues defence twice to score. However, it’s struck me that the lack of pace in the Blues side isn’t the cause of Blues woes; it’s an effect of a much deeper malaise.

Do The HK Consortium Exist?
Whilst an Italian consortium fronted by Gianni Paladini has been the first group to put a formal offer on the table for the Blues, there has also been talk of a Hong Kong-based consortium being in the running for the club. Is it possible Blues will stay in Chinese hands?

Paladini Profile
On Friday it broke that an Italian consortium fronted by Gianni Paladini has made a formal bid to take control of Birmingham City Football Club. As one can imagine, there has been lots of talk online about Paladini and whether he is the man to take Blues forwards. IF Paladini takes over, will Blues be jumping from the frying pan into the flames?
