Stoke new-boy Jerome still retains close ties to Birmingham

Cameron Jerome may be no longer at Birmingham but wishes the Blues would have shown the ambition his new club Stoke has. "Five years is a long time to spend at a club and it still feels a bit strange not being part of it at Birmingham," he told the Birmingham Mail.

"I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I will always be grateful for the faith Steve Bruce showed in signing me.

"Stoke seem to be doing what I thought Birmingham would be doing. It's exciting times at Stoke, they are taking steps in the right direction, strengthening the squad and looking to make further progress.

"That's the regret. I wish Birmingham would have done the same. I don't know what the board are planning to do but Birmingham need people to take them to the next level and I don't believe the current owners can do that."
