    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    That's the fella. But don't forget, it was all Mark Hughes's fault.

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    Don't forget how the media let him get away with blaming Mark Hughes for the relegation at QPR, even though Hughes was sacked in October. No mention of the dross he brought in, including that £10m centre back who he just couldn't even get fit. He then stayed on with the strongest squad by a...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    And sadly the question that will come back will be "Did you not think you'd be good enough to play in the Premier League then?" As you say, "security" is money, it's the same answer, but the full answer is that "the gaffer has told me I won't even have to pay tax. Just leave it to him and his...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    I would imagine it would need a whole host of clubs to all start bringing in similar clauses. At the moment, the top players (not Stockdale) still call too many of the shots when it comes to contract negotiations. But maybe if there is an enhancement offered to hand your Twitter account over...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    No, sorry. However .... :wink: I bet Solly March is pleased he ignored is agent last summer who was badgering him to take a move away (£2m to Wolves). Apparently, he was getting a bit twitchy again early in the season when he felt he'd slipped down the pecking order, and there was a chance the...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    Yes, people are idiots, but honestly, how long do you have to be on Twitter before you realise that there are plenty of idiots on there? For me, he's been there long enough to know the reaction his posts, retweets and likes will get, so the react to the inevitable responses he receives all just...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    It's what I heard from someone pretty well placed. I think the club also has a bit of an issue with the weight he carries, and he objects to that.

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    Not going to happen. We've offered 2 years, and he wants 4. I don't think either side have moved since then, as both think they can find something better. In our case, I think we probably can, but it does seem like a wasted opportunity for him, especially if it means he heads home to Leeds.

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    He must have known the reaction it would get. Of course people have gone ridiculously over the top, but Stockdale has been on Twitter long enough, and had spats before that he can't have had any doubt the reaction he would have got from the dimmer corners of the internet community. And then he...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    He's stayed in Birmingham to watch Chelsea wrap up the title in West Brom on Friday, then he'll "do a Terry" and dash on in full kit to join in the celebrations.

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    I've always like Keiren Westwood, although perhaps he's never quite progressed as I would have expected. Don't really watch Sheff Weds often enough to make a judgement, but whenever I've seen him he's impressed and I've been surprised he's never had more than a brief spell in the Prem with...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    I can't pretend that I have even begun to get my head around the sort of money we may be spending this summer, but I really can't imagine we'd be going near £10m for a keeper, and Sunderland are currently looking for £20m. What is realistic in terms of transfer fees and salaries, when we've...

    Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

    Exactly! The recruitment has been excellent the last couple of years, and if Stockdale and the club can't come to an agreement, then we move on. Thanks for a fantastic season Stockers, and good luck wherever you choose over us. I just hope you don't come to look back on a season spent on...
