HertsSaintee Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Birmingham have seemingly shown an interest in Scotland! We have no chance of keeping him! Why would he want to go to Birmingham? Disgusting hole of a place, and they all talk like Jasper Carrott there. Herts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grovesred Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 http://www.yorkcityfc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=337244#337244 (sorry you'll need to register to view it) is reporting a rumour emanating from the Falkirk area that York City is Jason's destination. Much as I wish it were true, I really can't see it happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickDT Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 With all respect to York City, I would say Scotland could expect a move to a club a little bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovesred Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 With all respect to York City, I would say Scotland could expect a move to a club a little bigger. Just so, although I'd say City's (non) league position and ropey finances are the problem; it's a decent size club averaging close to 3000 people per match, and the likelihood of much more if promotion can be grabbed at Wembley next month. If I were a footballer and had a choice between Birmingham & York... ...well yes, I'd choose York, but anyone with a grain of sense and an eye on their bank account would head for Birmingham, but if Jason's reading this, City is a club that really could go places over the next few years, York is a fantastic place to live, and you won't find many better coaches than billy McEwan, etc, etc ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 The Birmingham story is in the Metro today - all it says though is that they had him watched at the weekend. These clubs will have scouts all over the country every weekend so I wouldn't read too much into it - particularly as there's no way Scotland's of that standard.

Of course, I'm not saying they have "no interest whatsoever" - I'm simply saying that these clubs will have players watched all the time, and I'd be willing to bet the majority of these scouting missions are never turned into actual signings. I agree Scotland deserves a step up and I'll wish him well wherever he goes, but I'd be pretty shocked if he takes that big a step up - he's not that good and I really can't see him getting a game for Birmingham if he somehow manages to get a deal with them. I tend to think League One would be about the right level for him - he'd have more money and bigger crowds than he gets up here, but he'd also still look good and get a game because the actual standard of football's not that much of a step up.

sideshowbob1974 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Working this week at Soccer Week,and having had a chat with Atholl,He seems to think that Jason will be away somewhere at the end of the season.Maybe if he went to Birmingham,they might offer us a player on loan as compensation,who would maybe do well up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 In the PA and The Courier today that Jason is under contract until the end of August so any club wanting him is going to have to pay for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Birmingham could field a team of strikers given the number they have. Its highly unlikely they would be interested given that Jas isnt Premiership quality and they are more likely to offload than sign. Mind you, they did sign Dudley J Campbell!

If true, its another good move from the club, and this will have been done about 2 years ago....i'm impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmerman Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Yeah if true, thats great news. Although he has very little left on his contract I think the club should hold out for around 100k, due to his recent form and the fact we saved his career in the uk. Hope we get some money for him and he goes on to do well, a loan player would be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
