Hang on . I thought that it was the FA that vetoed us , not Brum, who seemed to be disposed to negotations

Originally City wanted to bring Hart back from his loan spell, but were already struggling to conclude a deal with Birmingham because, after offering to waive a loan fee of £460,000, pick up Hart's £30,000-a-week wages and settle outstanding agents' fees, they were shocked to hear how much Birmingham wanted in return for the player.

That would essentially be £750k a game for Birmingham to have Hart play the last 2 games with the highest possible finish worth 3m more than the lowest possible, are they really that shit without him or is that one hell of a gamble.

Come on Burnley

Well thats Everton and Birmingham that don't get to loan players anymore then the twats.

 

[dref619]

theyv been utter twats with this, wether we loaned him for the season or not, i cudnt give a fuck, they bang on about how they want him next season, yet go out of their way to shat on us

 

[1970IrlamBlue]

We should never allow any our our players to go there again on loan. The same applies to Everton. But we should also never have agreed to a loan deal with no emergency clause in it. Joe will be back as City's number 1 at the start of next season and Brum fans better get used of the idea!

 

[maccistani]

Dam right, I think that Mcleish thinks he owns Joe Hart or something, with the way he speaks in the press.

City couldn't recall him, but Brum could quite easily have terminated his loan contract, with or without the say so of city, the PL, Uncle Tom Cobley or whoever.

It looks like they could be joining the Portsmouth club next year with all the bank disputes there having, so city would be mad to send any player there, and hopefully, the other teams will take note too. If they had any realistic hope of being able to sign a good keeper next season, they would have released him straight away, but it seems that they are trying to brainwash him to stay there, and now their toys have come out of the pram.

Joe Hart had an amazing opportunity to take over Given, who is no spring chicken, and, In my opinion, could be out for 6 months+ with the injury, and could have shown RM and the team what he can do, so he could have cemented his place for next year.

From what I have seen and read, the 'negotiations' amounted to robbing us blind for buying back our own player!

 

[Boots_]

Dog turd. Letterbox. McLeish's.

 

[ged]

I can't help but think that we were very naive in the initial contract of the loan. Surely we should have had a clause stating any injury to Given would mean we could get Joe back, we were well within our rights to put any clause into the agreement - slapped wrists for someone methinks!!!

 

[Farerets]

So get that guy Hart back and let Gunnar go to Birmingham instead ;-)

 

[citoeast]

Lets not get arrogrant and up our own arses like the RAGS are.

 

[oakiecokie]

I think some of you are well wide of the mark here.
On Monday City were given the "all clear" by The FA to discuss the early cancellation of Joes loan deal with Birmingham.
Negotiations between both Clubs was satisfactory and a settlement agreed.
However,The FA then got wind of City paying Birmingham an amount of money that they could have lost,based on League Placings.
Spuds and Villa then made noises to the FA compaining about Citys payments.
The FA then decided that City could NOT have Hart back and THIS HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH EITHER BIRMINGHAM NOR THEIR MANAGER !!

 

[KingBilly]

spot on

 

[dw7]

i thought the fa blocked hart's move and birmingham offerded him back

That was my understanding too ..... that it was the FA who did a U-Turn on the matter

i can't really see why Birmingham would have kicked up such a fuss over three remaining games , when they were after asking City could they have him for another season , why would they have risked antagonising us?

Surely they could have put their reserve keeper in until the season expires anyway?

Not initially !!
Spuds and Villa complained to the FA on Tuesday and with a financial package agreed between City and Birmingham,the FA then had to renege on their original plan,that Hart could go back to City.
NOT BRUMS nor their Managers fault.
It was Spuds and Villa whinging.
HONESTLY thats the full SP on it !!
