Well, at least you can’t accuse him of not being involved in the club.
Much like Arsenal fans think that Stan Kroenke doesn’t get involved enough in the club, it’s very much the other way round at Birmingham City. Although by the sounds of it, he can perhaps be too hands on at sometimes according to some stories.
It’s all about trying to find that happy medium.
Although happy wouldn’t be the word I’d use to describe the Birmingham City fans reaction to the latest developments at Wast Hills.
The club recently put out a gallery of photos from a recent training session as the Blues get ready to face Hull City in their first home game since the restart, but there was one very familiar face that was spotted amongst the crowd of players and coaches, a certain Mr Dong Ren, who isn’t currently in the fan’s good books as it is.
Are you concerned about the size of the squad?
Yes
No
And seeing his face has certainly not gone down well with the supporters, with many fans feeling slightly concerned about his presence there, especially given the challenging times that the club finds itself in regards to changes.
Also with Speakman next to him? I don't see the need for him to be in full training gear when he can just stand to the side and observe things…. doesn't look great even if he's not interfering.

"Learning"…why does he need to be learning? It is not his job and should never be his job to conduct training or pick the team. What does he need to learn?

And here lies the problem if he is having a look he don’t need his kit on !He needs to get back to his desk and sort the financial stuff out so the EFL aren’t on our back, as for a decent manager coming in forget it . No one with a winning mentality are yes men which Dong likes

Why is he wearing football boots and a kit to have a look at training?

I might be in a minority but I don't have a problem with him in the full kit.
