Well, we always knew that this day was going to come eventually.
Although in amongst all the chaos of the last few weeks of the season and the appointment of a new head coach, I sort of forgot about the whole thing if I’m being honest with you.
Yesterday the club announced that forward Scott Hogan had left the club following the end of his loan spell from Aston Villa. Having got off to a blistering start with the Blues, with seven goals and an assist, whilst forming a formidable partnership with Lukas Jutkiewicz before the Championship season was paused, he wasn’t able to produce the same magic after the restart, failing to find the back of the net.
Was Hogan our signing of the season?
Yes
No
Whether or not he is likely to come back next season is something that I have talked about in the past, but if he doesn’t, then at least he’ll have left with a place in Blues fans hearts forever, as these tweets demonstrate.
All the best Scott and thank you, for without your points won we would definitely be playing league 1 football this season. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🔵⚪️ #kro

Was great seeing a true born finisher in action for the Blues, your contribution was invaluable. As for after lockdown….tough period for all involved with the club, chin up. All the best Scott #KRO

We can slag him off all we want because of after lockdown but his pre lockdown goals kept us up

His goals in the end with those of the legend that is Jukey kept us in the Championship

Goals in that purple patch kept us up
Good luck to him
If Karanka doesn’t fancy him so be it

What about you? What did you make of Hogan during his time at St Andrew’s? And do you think we might be able to get him back some day?
