Handbags is a southern thing.

Speaks well of our squad that we can sit so many starters and still put out a strong side.

I know Birmingham are only a mid-table Championship side, but we'll be superior at every position.

I was wondering that too. Google told me this:

Okafor & Longstaff have scored goals & had their moments,
Tanaka and Gnonto have also had some good moments this year. In regard to the previous post it isn't just a case of selling players but can you get a replacement that is better with the money you can get for them? Also ripping up a bit of a squad and would the new players want to start etc? Also how do you judge beforehand who will do well and who won't? Doubt any of us would have had Gruev ahead of Tanaka. What happened if DCL and Nmecha both had injuries etc

Doesn't do us much harm to have been able to judge them over the year and then if we survive decide to move them on.

I can just imagine him walking into the dressing room with his handbag and a Yerba blah blah blah in the 60’s/70’s, wonder who’d be the first to shove them somewhere dark. 🤔

Wonder what the owners think given flogging them is part of their business plan.

What's better for business a good cup run raising the club's profile or flogging a young player for a couple of million? It may be part of a business plan but it all depends on the quality of the young players. Sadly it may be that Harry Gray is the best of a bad bunch.

I thought that Buanonotte had probably been replaced by a time traveller and it was a drinking vessel from the past. They loved their handbags in the past so I think the chances are I will be proven right.
