These Blues fans have been left seething at a suggestion that has been doing the rounds within the media.
I sort of feel like this is starting to become a personal vendetta against the perceived ‘big teams’ in the division. Those that have been in the Premier League recently against those that haven’t, because that seems to be the ones that are being targeted through all this.
According to a report from The Sun, there are a number of chiefs within the Championship that aren’t too happy with the idea of clubs making players defer their wages whilst there is no football going on, resulting in less income for the clubs.
They even go so far as to say that those who are doing so should be met with a transfer ban (Birmingham City being one of them), with one being quoted as saying “Why should those who balance the books and pay their players in full be punished? We won’t sit back and watch these teams make signings.”
So does count for Prem clubs?? 🤔🤔

Same here. Makes no sense at all.

Makes zero sense.

This is a view that hasn’t necessarily gone down well with Birmingham City fans on social media, who both tore into and laughed at the proposition with some going as far as saying that the idea didn’t make any sense.
