Starting point was keeping squad together, which in cases like Dara we have, but others have gone. In reality, we're short of numbers, so we've still got work to do over the next few weeks. Would like to have squad ready for start of season, but not always possible. Club has to do what's right for the club for the short and long-term. Will add to the squad over the next few weeks and challenge for me and staff is to get them into a team for the season ahead. |
No update on Broady, he's expressed his desire to take up another opportunity but not the right time for that to happen, but see how the situation plays out over the next few weeks. | | | |

Birmingham won't be relying on momentum, overstated. Can be lost or won quickly. It's about how good your work is etc, that will lead to results, not what momentum a team has, that narrative can change quickly. | | | |

Sensible. No way we can let him leave now with Philogene injured and Hutchinson probably off. |  | | |

Promotion important not necessarily for me but the community, can be the best seasons of people's lives. My aim is to give people another of those seasons. Then to compete in the top division in the world is terrific. But it's about day by day, enjoying the games and taking it as it comes. | | | |

Massive fair play to broady for cracking on, playing whilst he clearly wants to go. |  |

So Broady goes, but only once we've confirmed a new signing. | | | |

Broadhead OK to play? Has been training, hasn't played as many minutes in pre-season, but is in the squad for Friday. | | | |

As I said previously, I can't see him lasting the full 90. If he starts then we will have to get a decent lead and maybe move Greaves there for the final 20 minutes for game management. |  |

Close on players coming in ahead of Friday, without naming names. Preparing the players he has fit and available. That's where focus is. | | | |

Of course he does, makes absolute sense, never going to be first choice here, and a chance to move home. He does however continue to be professional and available to be used. | |

Did you expect KM to announce the so go kings at a presser?!
Hardly. |
The So Go Kings? Are they twins? What positions do they play?
Hope we can get them through the door. | |

Should transfer window shut before season starts? Seems mad that deals get done in the final hours. But that's the way it is. Lots of different perspectives, but like most managers feel it would be better done before the season starts. | | | |

Welcome back Brandon Williams |
So long as his head is in the right place, I would be happy with this.
He's a good player, just a few personal issues to resolve. |  |

Omari interest at moment? There's always interest, is in other players. Muric, interest there when asked re Turkish move. | | | |

That's no surprise, has been pushed down the pecking order, imo unfairly but that's the circumstance.
With 1 year left and a move back to Wales, at a club who pay really good wages, I don't think that's a huge issue. £7.5m is a good price for him with one year left, will be gutted but such is football, need a replacement first.
I think the fair play comment is more to do with, he will continue to conduct himself properly whilst he is here. |  | | |

Of course not but he has said before if signings are basically done or not when they’re very close.
“Down the line”
“Announcements soon”
Etc |  |

He probably thought that about Hackney, so thinks best to stick to the 'another clubs player' line | |

Issue is our season starts before most European countries, so we'd be at a potential disadvantage with offers made for players without being able to replace them. | |

Which he has said - did you miss Phil's later comment?
EDIT: Strike that - the comment is a bit ambiguous on re-reading. [Post edited 6 Aug 14:39]
