JAMMY BASTARDS. Thankfully I was cheered up at approximately one minute past three.

Watched their reaction on the Football League show and the way that odious tossbag Lee Clark was going on in his post match interview you'd have thought he'd won a sodding Oscar.

I see Agent Ridgewell has been given a free transfer by the Baggies and is being linked to a return to the Sty. Not good enough for Villa or the Baggies but good enough for Small Heath

Giving this a bump to the head of the list in case any news comes in on their "takeover" whilst I'm asleep.

I'm praying that they announce that it's being bought by Kim Jong Un.

Someone who wants the bog seat. Perhaps they'll have naming rights to the roof of the stands then.

Revealed: Former Swindon Town chairman Jeremy Wray part of UK group buying stake in Blues

The Birmingham Mail has learned that Mr Wray and his associates from Soccer Management Worldwide Limited are the UK group in advanced talks

Former Swindon Town chairman Jeremy Wray is involved in the British consortium planning to buy a stake in Birmingham City.

The Birmingham Mail has learned that Mr Wray and his associates from Soccer Management Worldwide Limited are the UK group in advanced talks about buying a chunk of Blues.

Mr Wray was at St Andrew’s on Thursday as the consortium continue the due diligence process.

Peter Day, who was Karren Brady’s deputy managing director for a brief time at Blues and was previously chief executive at Tottenham, is also involved with Soccer Management Worldwide Limited, along with journalist Tony Rees.

Mr Wray was a director at the Robins for four years until October 2012, and was chairman for his final 18 months at the County Ground.

An investment manager by trade, he was part of the consortium led by Andrew Fitton which saved Swindon from going under in January 2008.

During his time as Swindon chairman, he appointed Paolo Di Canio as manager and formed a close working relationship with the Italian coach, who quit four months after Mr Wray left.

Did you see Blues writer Colin Tattum's emotional video recorded just after the final whistle at the Bolton game?

Mr Wray confirmed to the Birmingham Mail that Soccer Management Worldwide Limited are the preferred bidder and are currently involved in negotiations with BIHL.

“On Friday 23rd May we were informed by Birmingham International Holdings that Soccer Management Worldwide Limited had been selected as the preferred bidder for Birmingham City FC, he said.

“We have been granted a three week exclusivity period to complete final due diligence in order to more fully assess the opportunity.

“We are acutely aware that time is of the essence and that all those associated with the club are keen to see clarification of the club’s future after the recent uncertainty.

“Whilst there are no guarantees that we will be able to conclude a transaction we would ask for patience whilst this diligence process is completed, and trust that people understand that at this time it would be inappropriate to expand on the nature and detail of our discussions with the club.”

Birmingham International Holdings Limited confirmed on Monday that it had received an offer for a stake in Blues but said it only wanted to sell up to 24 per cent to protect its listing on the Hong Kong exchange.

In the strongest sign yet that the piecemeal sale of the club could progress, Blues acting chairman Peter Pannu revealed on Tuesday that BIHL were in negotiations with a UK bidder with a very strong North American investment fund, which turns out to be Mr Wray and Soccer Management Worldwide Limited.
