I suppose it well and truly is the end of an era now.
When fans can’t even bear to talk about someone that’s gone, it’s like they’re washing him out of their memories, trying to distance themselves as much as they can in hopes they can move on.
That seems to be the treatment that former Blue Jude Bellingham is getting from the fans.
I did ask fans a few months ago if they cared what club he went to when he was being touted by numerous teams, primarily to see if fans were interested in what his future was going to hold when he left, and if fans were still going to track his career.
Do you wish we could have held onto Bellingham a little longer?
Yes
No
The 17-year-old has recently taken his first few training sessions with his new team Borussia Dortmund, but when @BCFC_News decided to report on that, it seems as though fans weren’t too happy with seeing his face pop up even though he isn’t our player anymore.
yep wish him well but i'd rather hear about our own players & club news. let Dortmund get on with their own guys

What about you? Are you going to keep track of Bellingham’s career from now on? Or have you washed your hands of him as it were?
I agree with all above comments. It’s not washing your hands off. The kid has moved on. We need to concentrate on BCFC. B’ham news has this habit of talking about the people who have moved on. D. Grey, Che Adams. Even ex managers. Let’s focus on CURRENT BCFC.
