Steve Evans has commented on the Blues’ summer transfer activity before Birmingham City’s matchup with Rotherham United on Saturday.
Birmingham City is the “Galacticos of League One,” according to Rotherham United manager Steve Evans, following their summer signing spending. The Blues, who defeated Wrexham on Monday night, will be looking to maintain their winning streak and lead the division when they visit New York Stadium on Saturday at 3 p.m. After finishing last season in the Championship with Blues, Rotherham has a third-tier pedigree, having been promoted four times in the last ten years and three times since 2018. Under Evans, they have started the season relatively slowly, and their only victory came at the end of August against Huddersfield Town, another team that was relegated.
Evans has praised the Blues’ recruitment drive and called the team “huge” as they get ready to take on South Yorkshire. He anticipates that the Blues will at least come close to reaching 100 points in the league this season. Evans told the Yorkshire Post, “I really mean it when I say Birmingham City are the Galacticos of League One.” “They paid enormous salaries and spent £20 million throughout the transfer window. A significant sum has been invested. I salute that.Chris Davies, their manager, has experienced three Christmases in a row. The club is enormous. We don’t want any points to come from the Millers, but their team is the first in League One that I have ever watched and thought, ‘This may be 100 points this season…”
