Following the news that a fresh bid was being considered for the club, we asked the fans what they wanted from new ownership.
A lot has been said about who the bidders may be and what form a takeover is going to take. But we wanted to find out what the fans think the club needs from its new owners.
We took to the poll on our site and asked you guys to rank some of the suggestions we had taken on our twitter. Here were those options and the percentage results for you.
What do you want from potential new owners at Birmingham?
– Stability 33%
– Business acumen 7%
– A Practical Plan 42%
– Patience 2%
– Respect for the fans 2%
– Genuine love of the club 14%
Please note these are the results at the time of closing on 03/06/2014 and the results you see on the side are no longer being recorded.
It would seem that our readers mainly want a practical plan and stability. Those two kind of go hand in hand with one delivering the other, so its unsurprising to seem both at the top of your list.
Following the aftermath of the withdrawal of funds from Hong Kong, Birmingham has suffered from losing its star players right down to losing its inspiring crowds on match day. It is such apathy and disappointment that explains why Blues fans are happy with a nice stable and predictable owner. Whereas Everton fans would probably tell you they would be willing to risk it and push on a bit after the David Moyes years.
News on the takeover is often clouded and uncertain, but when concrete things happen you will see them here on Vital Birmingham.
