Strongest ever Championship?
Blues kick-off in the Championship tomorrow evening, in what is arguably the strongest division there has ever been. West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers are expected to contest the top two automatic places following relegation from the Premier League. And the other side who fell through the trapdoor, Burnley, have bobbed up and down between the leagues for the past five years. Those three are among just four clubs who have the benefit of parachute
Blues bring in bird
Blues have signed Max Bird from Bristol City, for an undisclosed fee. The midfielder has penned a three-year deal at St. Andrew’s and goes straight into the squad for Saturday’s Championship opener at Sheffield United. Bird clocked up 200 appearances for Derby County – 162 in the Championship – where he became a League One promotion winner and firm fans’ favourite. He moved on a permanent deal to Ashton Gate in January 2024 (he was
Davies on Donovan – no guarantee of games

Blues transfer update – up to three more players wanted
Chris Davies today revealed he was seeking three more players to add to his Blues squad. And, speaking for the first time about one potential target, Joe Gelhardt, he said matters would become ‘clearer in time’. Blues also have Bristol City midfielder Max Bird on their wish list – and his signing appears far more likely than Leeds United forward Gelhardt’s. “We are hoping to finish off these next two-and-a-half weeks with a couple of
Blues looking at Bird
Blues are eyeing up Bristol City midfielder Max Bird. The 25-year-old could be the ideal solution to bolster Blues options in the engine room. With Taylor Gardner-Hickman out for months due to a hamstring tear and Marc Leonard (Achilles tendon) another long-term casualty, Blues are thin on the ground in the middle of the park. Paik Seung-ho has been managing a shoulder issue and only returned to the fray last Saturday at Swansea City after
