Anyone seen the Power House of Birmingham City? I love their ambition to build a better ground and wish we would do the same. However I am not stuck on the design and think it will date really quickly

Its a weird one Rince looks like a pig on its back with its trotters in the air.

At least they got ambitious owners, more than we got at the moment

I think they clearly have ambitious owners who are likely on to a winning model. There are no stadiums like that in the West midlands and if they time it right with that stadium and a push into the Prem they could quickly become THE team of the West mids. It kills me saying that, makes my blood boil as it was the promise we were all sold and we were right there on the brink of starting on that path but we lost to Seville and Fosun lost all interest! Such a wasted opportunity towards actually achieving something.

Whereas now, if/when we are relegated this season after YEARS of investing nothing in the infrastructure what will Fosun or us GENUINELY have to show for their time with us?! Absolutely nothing I'm afraid and that is a frankly damning indictment on their part! ?

I don't know if they lost interest Bully's, more likely realised the cost of maintaining a European campaign or even Premier League status as it turns out.

I think they, like many other Chinese owners rushed into this with their eyes wide shut to curry favour with their Government. Once that money dried up it became a death by a thousand cuts for the Club. They should have sold it back then.

As for this proposed development, ambitious but frankly hideous.

You're right, Long. Fosun are out of their depth in the PL. Through my industry I have some insight into Fosun. They invested in a jewellery company I know because the Fosun chairman was pleased with a purchase he made in one of the jewellery outlets in Hong Kong! That company went bust, but there was massive fraud. Fosun tend to invest in a very hands-off way without really getting to the bottom of things.

Fosun also looked at buying Newcastle before Wolves. They naturally think that Wolves should pay for itself, as that's the way they look at all their investments, without comprehending that football is not just a business opportunity. They should sell, but if relegation is inevitable they have lost the chance of a £400mil sale.

Looks like Birmingham are going places, not sure if plans for
new stadium are ok but it's certainly different. At least it shows ambition, sadly lacking with us.
