“What a mess”: Richard Keys provides a nasty Birmingham City prediction
|Birmingham City are one of several Championship clubs that still have a lot to play for on the final day of the season.
This season, the first under Tom Wagner and his investment business Knighthead, has proceeded in a same chaotic vein to previous seasons, and the Blues are once again staring relegation in the face with only 90 minutes of football remaining.
There are several possibilities heading into next weekend’s game against Norwich City, who know a draw at St Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park will secure their own place in the play-offs, a result that could be enough for Birmingham depending on how Plymouth Argyle performs at home to Hull City – another team chasing the top six.
Richard Keys issues brutal Birmingham City prediction
This season has been incredibly well-documented in Birmingham, especially since the club looked to have turned a turnaround following the new investment from the aforementioned Wagner, who also serves on the board of directors alongside NFL superstar Tom Brady.
However, in the overall scheme of things, it has proven to be nothing short of a disaster, despite the fact that a variety of causes have contributed to the Blues’ season’s downfall.
With just one game remaining, former Sky Sports commentator Richard Keys has made an honest but ruthless prediction about Birmingham’s survival chances on his personal blog.
“As we prepare to watch the last day of the Championship season I can’t help but think Birmingham deserve to go down,” Keys said.
“What a mess they’ve made of their season. Remember, they were sixth when they sacked John Eustace.
“I feel sad for their admirers, who were promised too much and received little. “It’s another lesson in being careful what you wish for,” he said.
