Well, this would certainly be a turn-up for the books wouldn’t it?
Maybe the club have finally learnt their lesson.
BBC West Midlands journalist Richard Wilford recently spoke about the goalkeeping situation at the club after the departures of Connal Trueman and Lee Camp, stating that:
“There has been no contact between #bcfc and representatives of former England keeper Joe Hart. The club has a list of GK targets with Aitor Karanka having the final say.”
How many goalkeepers will Blues sign this summer?

Given that Hart still has a place in the heart of some Birmingham City fans, this might come across as a bit of a let-down in some people’s eyes.
However, it wasn’t the Hart angle that seemed to grab the attention of supporters, rather it was the fact that the new boss appears to have a final say in transfers, something that would mark a significant change in how the club have done things previously, and that was met with plenty of joy from the fans on social media.
Good to see Karanka has final say though. That’s a huge bonus and positive sign of things to come hopefully a very good balance of how things should be run #bcfc

Finally we seem to have turned a corner with the board, AK should have the final say on all transfers in and out

What about you? Do you think we’re going to sort the position out sooner rather than later?
1 thing we need to understand. The OWNER has the final say! Period! After All, he pays for everyone’s salary including the coach. The only difference now is now, they are prepared to give more leeway. If it comes to the crunch, the owner still has the final say!
