Chris Rigg

To be fair to Birmingham we signed their young star in Jobe when we were considered a sideways move for him, so I guess it could happen if they got promoted. The difference this time is Rigg is a 1st team starter now already and not moving to get more games like Jobe so I'd imagine it would be very unlikely.

It'd be closer to Jude being linked with a top L1 team when he was starting to break through.

Not really a fair comparison.

Birmingham had already cashed in on Bellingham senior because they couldn't offer what he needed. They'd also not given Dodds what he needed, ditto Speakman.

They've got a decrepid stadium with attendances half of our own. Their training ground burned down last year and we have the AOL, but will give you that our trees need some love.

Their club has been up for sale and was bought in July 2023, but ended up in relegation.

We are a million miles ahead of them for a young player

Totally agree with that, at this minute in time we are trying to get promotion to the premier league, Birmingham have been relegated to league one, just because they have decided to spend way beyond their means(we all know how well that can end up) doesn’t put them on any sort of level to us, Kyril could fall over and hit his head then decide to go all out for promotion, would that mean we can sign kobbie mainno! No! because Man Utd is on a higher level! If their fans really think this is possible then why stop at Rigg maybes they should bring back Jude as well and they can all ride into the stadium on flying pigs!

Villa the bigger club in that parts and always will be.
 
I'm on X myself and its full of total wankers including its billionaire owner. I hope most Birmingham fans are not so brainless as to believe its gonna be Brummie domination in future. They are still resentful of us signing Jobe.

Resentful now as hes starting to look very good, the vast majority at the time were pissing themselves crowing they had pulled our pants down.

What about an airport? Do they have an airport - or does that belong to Aston Villa?

Yes they do have an airport. Living in Gloucester I have to choose between Birmingham and Bristol. I prefer Birmingham.

In Solihull though still referred to as Birmingham airport.
When Rigg goes it will probably be to a top six club here or a top 2/3 club in Spain or Germany.
