    From a footballing prospective I don't get it. Just avoided relegation, short term manager and no history of premier league football. Bad move for Roberts imho.

    It's not hard to get mate! Double his money at least, rich club, more chance of promotion, and gets to work with Harry!

    Better alternatives with more chance of premier league football.

    If you read the original post it says "football reasons"

    No history of premier league football?, they have at least half a dozen seasons in the premier league behind them and plenty more in the old first division and now they have plenty of brass to spend and a rated if somewhat dodgy manager, I can see them being up there myself, sithi.

    Highest bidder gets to speak with the player. Hence, Birmingham. IMO

    Regular first team football, a manager with money to spend & a 5 year contract that'll ensure he never has to work again.

    Surely the question is 'why not Birmingham?'
