Birmingham City Thread - 2023/24 | Rooney sacked after 15 games

[Mr Kobayashi]

He was born in Canada so he's Canadian and has often said he's Canadian. He has a US passport and is a US citizen as well. People were saying he's American when criticising American owners of football clubs. I have citizenship in Paraguay but I'm English. I could get a passport but there's no need.

Is Laporte French or French-Spanish?

LaPorte is definitely French.
His nickname is "The Door"

It's not really relevant to the point I was making. People were criticising American football owners and mentioned Ryan Reynolds being a good American owner. I said he was Canadian, born in Canada, you said he was a citizen of both countries, which are both correct.

Laporte is born in France and chose to play for Spain because Enrique convinced him to make the switch because he wasn't being chosen by Deschamps. He has dual citizenship. I think he's French with a Spanish passport. You would have to ask Laporte whether he was French or French-Spanish or even Spanish. Ryan Reynolds has, as far as I know, never said he was American but often says his Canadian upbringing has given him advantages in Hollywood. I suppose it's the choice of the individual.

Because he always leaves it open?

Birmingham draw at home to the mighty Bristol City and the BBC report it as Birmingham hold the in form Bristol City to a draw... Rooney is ruining his chances of taking over at the Rags if he keeps this up. What is it now 9 points from 42.

Typical yanks. Didn't hire on merit, in fact the bloke who was there was doing a decent job. Rooney was hired only for his name and they thought that would generate a lot of interest in the club, which it hasn't.

Yanks really can't seem to grasp that our sporting culture is nothing like theirs.

Another routine, par for the course defeat for them, in the land that the 20th century bypassed.
