That would depend upon Nigel actually producing the quality team that he had been promising for the last two years as opposed the two garbage teams we’ve had foisted upon us !! talk is cheap but when it comes to walking the walk, we’ll that hasn’t happened yet. All well snd good spouting off about all the quality riders contacting the club begging to ride for us ( look at this time last year!!!), then we get none of those intimated snd end up with the garbage team we had this year with them saying Dickson won’t be involved, let’s prey that Laurence Rogers has absolutely nothing to do with the team building or we are screwed before we start. Sort the new manager first then let him sort the team i won’t hold my breath Edited October 2, 2023 by the hobbit 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem Birmingham had this year is that although they were willing to put together a good team they had to compete with 8 other clubs for the signatures. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let’s hope so as Nigel is willing to spend the money. the biggest problem last year was letting Laurence rogers have a say in team building ,he’s clueless on that front . just don’t let Laurence Rogers have any involvement in team building. and we may have a chance .

FishersGate 522 Posted October 2, 2023 That podcast did make me realise how bad their team building is though. Yes they are on a smaller budget but they were still banging on about how they thought that team could challenge for the play offs. They need to hire someone like Peter Adams to build a reliable team. They need riders that people want to see at the club. I'd be on the phone now to bomber and make him captain. May as well take tarasenko along with him. I think Birmingham will play it safe but also have a reliable side next year. Here's a one that took 2 mins to think of Masters, Pickering, Harris, Tarasenko, Z Cook, Sedgmen, RS. Not a title winning team but at least at home it would be strong.
