That's the most tinpot thing I've ever seen. I hope Birmingham go bust now.

It's thanks to the £25m that he is bringing in that we won't.

 

Compare Louie Barry, who had been at West Brom for a decade, then refused to sign a pro deal so he could join Barcelona gratis.  And now rocks up at Villa on the cheap.  Basically a con to get around the rules that help the rich to steal all the good players from smaller teams.  Another nail in the coffin of real clubs in favour of the Eurofranchises.

 

It's credit to Bellingham and his family that they basically forwent millions in their skies to do the morally right thing.

I think you're missing the point. I've no problem with him being sold, it's the retiring of a shirt number after selling a guy that's played 44 games for them.
It's cringe worthy as f**k.

Over the last 30 years or so, we've had Karren Brady modelling a new kit, a ref getting twatted, a diary with the club honours listed as including 7 FA Cups and the European Cup, the Jeff Hall memorial clock havinga Spinal Tap confusion between feet and inches, leisure shirts in the club shop that you could peel the Blues badge off to see the QPR one underneath, a change kit that we never wore because it clashed with our own bloody kit, and have had as successive owners a loan shark, scrap metal dealer, rag traders that even Poundland wouldn't stock, porn barons, a convicted money launderer, and a chap who once reneged on a deal to buy a vase for £57m.  And the club's CEO is called Dong.

 

So this isn't even in the top 100 cringey things we've managed.

Football clubs don't own their players as commodities. If they couldn't offer him a contract that appealed to him then he's free to go elsewhere, which he did.
