Post by: fergus8 on November 27, 2007, 06:02:06 PM pretty much on a par, but birmingham is much more interesting
Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: ifm on November 27, 2007, 06:05:10 PM You are wrong (glaringly so) but even if the £3m were right what does it have to do with the question?
No question really a Premiership job is bigger than the Scotland job not just this particular one. Managers go with the money, Blues have it Scotland don't. Its actually an astonishingly good bit of business by mcleish, Carson Yeung is due to take over in january and he is likely to replace any manger without an fabulous record pretty quickly.

Sun readers mind at work. 2+2 together again? It's simple really, there is much friction between the current owners and Yeung, the current board even sought legal advice to see if they can appoint a manager without yeungs consent so i think it's logical to assume that they either didn't consult him or didn't want to. He probably won't like that....... Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: Indestructable on November 27, 2007, 07:22:04 PM Anyone any idea on the difference in pay between the two jobs?

Post by: TightEnd on November 27, 2007, 07:23:24 PM Anyone any idea on the difference in pay between the two jobs? £1.6m vs £400,000 Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: TightEnd on November 27, 2007, 07:24:11 PM Is Yeung for real?
where is his money from? is it a done deal, the takeover? Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: Nem on November 27, 2007, 07:33:14 PM While London-based Indian billionaire steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal has reportedly inquired about a prospective £50million buy-out of Premiership club Birmingham City, reports on Sunday have suggested Hong Kong businessman Carson Yeung sent his representatives to St Andrews in an effort to push his interest through.
Billionaire Yeung had earlier failed with his attempt to takeover Reading FC. Blues owners David Sullivan and David Gold have indicated that in the best interests of the fans and the club, they would be prepared to sell the club after being in control for 14 years. A club source said: "David Sullivan has always said he would go if the right offer came but it is not quite the same situation with David Gold. "It is not as if he would do the deal just for the money and it is not going to be a case of it changing his life if he sells up." Earlier this week, Gold had said: “I have got to confess that I am not a willing seller but that doesn't mean to say that if I thought it was in the best interests of the football club - I have been here 14 years - then I would not look at the options. "We have never had interested parties I felt could do a better job than we could do. Now, with these hugely wealthy people coming in - and I am talking about billionaires - they are more capable. You only have to look at the clubs who have been taken over by them. You have got Aston Villa, West Ham. "So sometimes the principals have to consider the broader picture, they have to consider the fans and what's in their best interests and sometimes that can lead you to make a decision to say it's time to move on.” http://www.premiershiplatest.com/news/hong-kong-s-carson-yeung-pushes-interest-553309.html Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: Teacake on November 27, 2007, 07:36:59 PM No decent manager would touch either job but if your forced to choose you take the cash
Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: ifm on November 27, 2007, 07:55:57 PM The Hong Kong businessman, Carson Yeung, has bought 29.9% of Birmingham City and after purchasing shares from major shareholders he is now the largest single shareholder, although he doesn’t have a controlling share. David and Ralph Gold and David Sullivan have sold portions of their shareholding in the club to Yeung and it is thought that he will continue to buy shares until he has a controlling interest.
This was in July Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: boldie on November 27, 2007, 08:00:49 PM I am puzzled by this one, why leave Scotland for Birmingham? (apart from money?) it's only money..he left hibs to go to Rangers and I thought it was for money. he only took the scotland job because noone wanted him and now he's F'ed off to fill his socks at birmingham. He's done a great job with Scotland and even at rangers he did good but he could have waited for a bigger club to come asking (how long does Southgate have at Middlesborough?) but he preferred to fill his boots now. Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City? Post by: TightEnd on November 27, 2007, 08:02:57 PM It is only because of the benign nature of Steve Gibson that Southgate has lasted this long
Yakubu and Viduka sold, no proper replacements in, you didn't need to be Mystic Meg to see it would be a struggle Title: Re: Which is bigger, the Scotland job or managing Birmingham City?

Middlesborough a bigger club? They're both small Premiership clubs but one has a cloud of Smog above the city and the other is in a city where people talk funny. He couldn't have got a better job in the premiership this is where he must prove himself if he is going to move up. |
