The council should be falling over themselves to attract anyone willing and able to invest £billions into Birmingham right now. The council have shown they’re inept at managing anything, including our money and the questionable policy decisions for decades. Birmingham was built by its great workforce and the vision and leadership of pioneers like Matthew Boulton, James Watt, Joseph Chamerlain, John Cadbury ect, people we are in short supply of today. If Sir Tom Wagner has the vision, desire and finances to redevelop a derelict, deprived area of the city, that the council themselves can’t, they should roll out the red carpet, give him all the support he needs and hand him keys to the city. He’ll achieve more positive change for city than the current councillors ever have.
They are not here to mess about
A timely piece this, hopefully will calm down any negativity - fact of the matter is that Knighthead have put so much money in already they are not for turning, TWs interview was his way of lobbying the pinhead politicians, ensuring the support is going to be there to prioritise the infrastrucure for the development
Only good news if you know how these things work
KRO
Birmingham council need the likes of Wagner &co . Don’t let us forget that our new owners are pivotal in aiding an ailing bankrupt Council. Cherish Wagner and encourage- that’s the reality. Do not discourage.
That's exactly how it seems from the feedback?
I think the main thing Blues fans need to remember is that Knighthead are investing in Birmingham City because they are investing in Birmingham the City. BCFC is just a good way of making their in roads into Birmingham.
😂🤣😅..You know nothing about Birmingham city...Wagner loves the football club...Spent around £30million improving the stadium..It's all about the football..Gary Cook & Tom Brady where the main instigators in building the new stadium...Sorry you just Reek of jealousy..🤢
@@brumbykj I'm a Blues fan mate... Listen to the first open house. Wagner pretty much says what I said above.
@jord5626 So his interest in the football club is just a rouse to get his feet under the councils table..God knows why he attended games with no interest in the football side..So they're just property developers..Oh I see now.🤔
As regard to transport to and from the new stadium/entertainment quarter would not a monorail be an idea running from Moor St/Snow Hill to the new entertainment quarter relieving traffic off the road.
We saw what happened with Wrexham when a team concedes possession and plays without the ball against Blues.
Surly you would just upgrade the adderley park instead as it’s right next the wheels site
It is good to hear from Tom Wagner on what is happening. The silence has been telling. I have been waiting to hear what was going to happen with transport links. There is no way that such a development can go ahead with the current transport links in place.The Government needs to step up and make good on the leveling up narrative that we have been hearing from Westminster in recent years. KRO
Our Council does not have a good track record of selling our City...BUT TW would be aware of this before investing....our Council does not have a good track record of supporting BCFC . Transport infra structure is a huge issue ( for everyone) Generally this City is poor regards sports projects ... look at Leicester with their football and rugby.. we are lacking as a Second City and need TW to help drive us forward..it would not surprise me if this 'project' went flat but remain hopeful that TW has the staying power....KRO
The council are pro villa not blues unfortunately, been like that for donkey's years
Also someone said they re-doing the main stand
The whole area is in need of regeneration and we know Birmingham council aren't interested in east side of Birmingham.
Great insight as usual guys. I don’t think this game can come soon enough for CD. 0-6 easy💙💙
May up top Willum at 10 Stansfield on the left Wight on the right.
Great podcast guys but if we are relying on Birmingham City Council and West Midlands it won't happen. Love Tom Wagner to death but these people don't want us to be successful. I will enjoy getting back to the championship but don't think it will progress much pass that now.
If the other lot were doing this the money would be found. KRO
Reading a lot of the negative comments regarding the council and Tom Wagners plans it's almost as if they didn't actually watch this podcast?
I hope I'm wrong but I don't think the new stadium will ever be built, these guys are here to make money so can you imagine what return they will get on the Wheels land in 5-10 years time when I suspect they will sell it to a housing developer 😢
The council and the government should be biting Tom Wagners hand off,--the chance to regenerate one of the worst parts of the city,--which will be next to the HS2 area and on the fringe of the city itself,--its a no brainer,-they need to realise what a great chance they have to improve the city even further,-KRO.
A few backhanders 😂starmers well known already😊
Surely they don't need a 60000 stadium when they can't fill a 30000 stadium?
You have to understand football is only part of the development. It’s about building a leisure and commercial destination that’s used every day of the week.
@@robertjones3189..yeah but a half empty stadium on match days is not a good look..I mean 60 k stadium..whats it going to look like when Blues are playing the likes of say Barnsley in the championship and there’s only around 17 thousand in the stadium because thats what a game against the likes of Barnsley Portsmouth and Derby etc etc will attract..even Blues in the premier league won’t fill a sixty thousand seater stadium every home game..17k that’s not even a quarter..Villa don’t even need a sixty thousand seater stadium..its a ridiculous idea..and I wouldn’t count on Birmingham City Council helping out because they’ve not lifted a finger in helping Villa out to expand their ground with the transport links at witton station their an absolute joke
@@western-oud1898 the new stadium is 7+ yrs away minimum we wont be a championship club by then and were currently selling out every game in league 1 so Barnsley wont be 17k in championship when it will be 28k in league 1 👍🏻
St Andrews is sold out every week at the moment, if there's any empty seats it's because the away team haven't sold their allocation.
@@western-oud1898 West ham used to get 18k a Upton Park not so long ago, now they get 60k. We are currently getting 27k avarage in League 1.
Unfortunately the recent Commonwealth Games totally destroyed any likelihood of our City surviving financially for decades. Was it a waste of money or am I missing something that benefits?
Your missing a lot mate. The CW Games were a huge success and brought in millions in investment in the city that would never have been spent in Brum otherwise.
The council aren't "bankrupt" because of that and private investment in the City is booming regardless.
🤣🤣
Same old story from that council. WOKE and FOREIGN so they’re not interested. It will all fall through because of THOSE people
Take our country back now
I agree the council has not been great. but don't be silly. Foreign? Tom Wagner is foreign. I suspect I know that you mean a different 'type' of foreigner. Explain please.
@johnbeale1102 please dont ask him for an explaination 🙄
@@23bit76 sorry.
You realise Tom Wagner is FOREIGN? And I suspect THOSE people you refer too are actually British.
@@johnbeale1102ok let me explain if you really don’t see how our country is being taken over and what the agenda is. It’s not white British is it? I’m not going to explain further because if you can’t see what’s going on then you’re just blind or plain dumb
What Tom Wagner is promising should be fully supported
