he was offered £10,000 a week, fact ! So he was always going to be a number two keeper.

Are you sure that’s a fact?

How does the money make him a number two? CH would never allow that as he only picks players on merit & nothing else inc money!
How do you know that?
Total bollocks.

Reading the recent story about Ben Roberts tracking Many Ryan, I wonder if the seemingly peculiar choice that Stockdale made was less to do with money and more to do with him not wanting to be a bench warmer?
Either way, he was a massive part of our promotion push and a top man for the way he conducted himself at the time of the shoreham air crash.

Just the five now. At Brentford.
What on earth goes through DT's mind when he looks up at where he could have been right now, had he stayed.... ?

A moment to laugh at Sunderland as well.
Stockdale knew he wasn’t fancied to be #1 in Premier League so fair play on him staying at a level where he could play regularly

Fair play, he had his moment with us and both BHA and DS have moved on.
He's still earning a good few bob.

I agree, Birmingham a bit of a car crash club. Hoped he's have chosen a better option, but maybe that was the only offer he got. Find it surprising if so

Would have thought he was sold the dream by Redknapp. They signed him as a statement of intent and I remember there was talk of them signing John Terry and Ashley Cole at the time. All went a bit belly up soon after!
But therein lies the obvious mistake. Who would believe 'Onest 'Arry?
I can understand DS taking the cash, but if his decision to join Birmingham with that useless chancer in charge was anything more, then you have to question his sanity.
Mind, didn't he start a business with Leon Knight..... And he was always super touchy on Twitter if anyone made the slightest comment about him.
Loved Stockdale as a player for us. Clearly a decent bloke as well, but maybe not the sharpest. Still think he could have played for England if he'd stayed, used the pressure to improve and fought for his place.

Christ how slow did he look getting up from his arse there.
He was at fault for the first too.

Great Championship keeper and was disappointed when he left however he made too many howlers to be good enough in the Premier League.
That double penalty save against Massive will always put a smile on my face though.

Poor choice from Stockdale but always wish him well, was a rock for us last season
He was one injury away from it last season. Best keeper in the Championship and the rest were either totally out of form or carrying injuries. Perhaps you didn't notice.
Point being if he'd stepped up his game rather than taking semi retirement and a fat wedge from 'arry then who knows.
Btw he made the squad when he was at Fulham.
