Reports down south saying brum willing to pay 3.5m for Davies and Dowell.
Would be a ridiculously good bit of business. Frees 40k a week in wages too.
08 May 2025 11:25:28
Great piece of business I'd we could get that with 500k in add ons. Would also save somewhere around 1.5 to 2m in wages.
08 May 2025 11:35:16
Good business imo. We owe Liverpool two payments for Davis.
08 May 2025 11:43:24
Definitely take as much as we can force out of clubs 2 mainstays in Birmingham team from 1st of January, but no doubt we'll find out in 6 months from now we let them go for peanuts with park n co at the helm . like the Cantwell lies we were told.
08 May 2025 11:44:42
Both players have no future with us.
Let the clear out begin!
08 May 2025 11:39:03
I don't think we risk asking for add ons. Believe both are in their last year, Dowell was free. This near enough covers most of what was wasted on Davies.
A very good deal.
08 May 2025 12:01:37
Surely add ons are only useful if the player is of an age when they can be sold on. at end of year 1 with Birmingham they will be 28 and 30. whilst not old I would rather have the fee up front here.

Gazza, do u actually know who is operating Rangers pmsl.
08 May 2025 12:11:03
Good info raskin, can't believe we have had Davis for three years, only one payment due to Liverpool.

I was with a big Birmingham City fan last weekend. City fans are rubbing their hands in glee at the fact we've offloaded both Dowell and Davies with Scott Wright having also joined them. Davies has been irreplaceable in defence and Dowell is banging goals in.
Unfortunately, Wright is currently injured, but was playing well fir them beforehand. What he couldn't understand is with the poor performance in the league snd cups this season, why we would offload those players. We as a club fail to give players the opportunities and time they require to progress. Is it bowing to pressure from the fans? Bacuna was another, now playing in the Saudi Pro League.

That is was one thing Barry got correct, it's all good being a good player, but it's different in a Rangers jersey, Davies was good and average, Dowell never got enough game time and Wright wasn't good enough for being a Rangers player.
08 May 2025 13:51:13
Add ons if there's another promotion would seem an easy ask for both parties given the £££s that would come with it.
08 May 2025 15:24:05
Dowell was never good enough, that's why he never got enough game time.
08 May 2025 16:11:32
Take the money and run.
08 May 2025 16:16:27
I don't think it is different in a Rangers jersey as you need players to be ther right quality but there are elements which affect how a player can be good in that jersey: the quality of the league and players around them, being given a chance of a run of games and being played in a system and a position where they can thrive. I am not sure Dowell especially got that chance to prove his worth.
Dowell and Davies played at good levels in decent leagues so let us not kid ourselves that the SPL is a better standard than that.
08 May 2025 17:04:48
You can't hide coldo.
08 May 2025 17:05:47
Dowell is a higher level that our league, you said Diomande was an awful player, you'd be better saying nothing cc.
