Birmingham sack their manager

[TartanFox]

So Tom Brady can bring in Wayne Rooney.

Given the basket case that club has been, John Eustace has done a great job, they're in the play-off spots FFS.

This is exactly why i dont want Yank owners, they might have the dosh but they are clueless when it comes to the running football clubs.

 

[foxesneverquit]

We all knew this stupid sacking was going to happen as it has been well publicised in the media for some time now.

 

[astleyfox]

They get what they deserve.

 

[DagenhamFox]

They have history of sacking managers when in a good position.

 

[Nomadic Fox]

Unbelievable.

 

[DagenhamFox]

Brum v City will be billed now as Wagatha Cristie part two.

 

[Hampshirefox]

Old boilers v heat pumps

Bad decision IMO.
He's stabilized the ship and got them playing some decent football.
But as ever, new board want their own man.
I now hope this goes as badly as Wed sacking darren moore after promotion (yes they had a few hiccups but he got them there) and being absolute rubbish with a clueless new guy who was sacked in the week.
i have a strong suspicion that brum waited until another manager got the sack so it wouldn't look as bad, but 6th and firing him is still madness.

If vardy scores will he celebrate in front of Rooney I hope so

 

[Feckit]

6th in the table, just won a local derby, hope they drop down the feckin league quicker that Rebbeca Vardy’s phone plonked in the drink…

 

[Paddysfoxes]

Same as Bournemouth sacking ONeil after he kept them up last season

 

[Running Fox]

I hope our fans sing Rooney your wife is a grass

I hope our fans sing Rooney your wife is a grass

It's hardly been an effective tactic for our opposition...

Brum v City will be billed now as Wagatha Cristie part two.

‘Why Did They Ask Evans?’
‘Red Man’s Lolly.’
‘Vards Up The Table’
‘One, Two, Play in Fatawu’

 

[Running Fox]

It's hardly been an effective tactic for our opposition...

But Rooney wont be playing

A real shame the fat bastard is reappearing in this country.

Lampard, Gerrard Scholes (players from the same era) have tried management and failed.
Nothing tells me WR will be any different

It’s not just Yank owners, it’s football owners in general, especially new ones.

 

[LGFOX]

And they’re paying him 3 times what they paid Eustace. Unbelievable

Can’t argue with that.
Does make me laugh though when you hear two experienced journalists ( Henry winter being one of them ) on their Sunday morning radio slot talking about Rooney & how they are convinced he will be a top manager.
There evidence being how well he spoke on a guest appearance on Monday night football a while back.

I guess they got their man. I wonder if they will come to regret it?

 

[Nomadic Fox]

Strange definition of a winner. Wazza's win percentage at Derby was 28% and 26% at DC United.

 

[Sammy George]

Good news. Sky will want them on the tele every week, it just may mean they will not be obsessed with showing us hence more Saturday 3pm.
On the down side, due to Wagathagate, both our games with them are bound to be televised

 

[Yorkfox]

Dont know what the situation at DC was but according to a Derby fan mate he did a pretty decent job there under impossible circumstances.

That’s also what I heard as well from a Derby fan. Came out of there with a lot of credit due to getting the best he could out of a crap hand he’d been dealt and also making sure the staff got paid even if it meant funding some himself.

Complete contrast to TCR who threw a mardy when Top wouldn’t let him waste any more money.

It’s not just Yank owners, it’s football owners in general, especially new ones.

Shades of Vichai with the fanny merchant
