all this talk about the board promising this that and the other and not backing Eck is total carp! if you check the figures you will find that despite all the rubbish being spouted Birmingham have spent quite a lot of money over the past couple of seasons. It also seems that although we have had to put a lot of our star assets in the shop window due to relegation we have been busy signing up a lot of targets that Eck wanted to bring in.
Pannu is obviously angry with how Eck and his advisors have been acting and as a result has stated he will be submitting evidence to the premier league for them to investigate.
The media are attempting to shift the blame for events at Birmingham onto the owners and as Pannu hint's i believe this is being touted by Ecks advisors to paint him as the innocent party in all this.
Blame Eck..not the board

I partly blame Eck for relegation.. but to be fair to him we had a lot of injuries which can't have helped.
McLeish constantly tried the 4-5-1 formation with Jerome chasing shadows which was just plain stupid, he should have realised from the start that our best formation is 4-4-2, hence why we did so well last season with Chucho. He should also have played the players the board did so well to secure... if he had played Hleb,Bentley,Beausejour in their natural positions we would have scored more goals, which would have meant more points, which would have meant safety.
Now I see him as a traitor, sends us down twice and when the going is tough he does a runner, I always stuck up for him as did many fans but now I really hope to see him at Villa so they can have a taste at his boring,negative tactics.
Rant over

Irrespective of how the board may have been AM should have let know what the scoop was before hand.
He held on for his deal last year so got what he wanted when it was all said and done.
I can only imagine the loaners and players bought were his decision last season too, so he cannot level any blame elsewhere.
As for the new guys, he has left them in the lurch as much as the fans.
It will take a lot for AM to win over whoever his next team's fans are, especially if they're villa, they're a strange breed...
