Maybe Stockdale wanted to be a club where he would be guaranteed first team play and plenty of involvement in the game. He's certainly been busy at Birmingham with the performances of the team in front of him.
Finally caught the Channel 5 highlights last night, and bloody hell Dave must really be missing D & D. He's got a bunch of utter clowns in front of him at the moment, the defending against Preston was shocking. One thing about Stockers, he's never been shy of publically showing how much he HATES conceding goals. After one of them he was laid flat on his back, shouting and literally THUMPING the ground in frustration, like a 2 year old having a tantrum in Tesco. Another one he's straight up and letting fly with a volley of abuse and giving various gestures at one of his hapless teammates. He is a very angry man right now.
I noticed that, he didnt really have a sniff of saving them, he was fuming with the defending on all the goals.
And rightly so. But it probably doesn't do much to endear him to his new team-mates. He's never been adverse to throwing them under the bus when it suits though.
Probably a trait that Harry Redknapp admires, seeing as that's exactly what he does himself.
Stockdale bust his wrist now according to the local rag up here.
It says a wrist injury rather than busted.

And now it looks like he will have Steve Cotterill as his manager... poor guy.
Seems they also approached Karanka and were rejected.
The rumour in the sandwich shop with the Birmingham fans at lunch was that Stockdale broke his wrist punching Arsenal loanee Cohen Bramall in the nut. Neither were in the squad Saturday. Not quite #together up here assuming its true.
This would have been a bigger story if there were anything in it, surely?
