An immediate replacement will be sought

Surely they have someone already in the frame!? They wouldn't bin Rowett and the entire backroom staff without having someone lined up? These people are mental, how they think must be fascinating. Perhaps they think this season is irrelevant, despite the outside chance they could hit the play offs and it's all about next season - maybe in their pre-pubescent minds they have a vision of a season at the summit throughout, batting aside all opposition with ease?

They got hammered by Newcastle on Saturday though. Clearly the mental owners feel they should be beating teams like Newcastle.

Birmingham: Only Brighton (2) have lost fewer games in the Championship this season than Gary Rowett’s Birmingham (5) #bcfc

EITHER

A> They have a BIG NAME lined up, or a very good manager anyhow, a la Pochettino coming in for Adkins at Saints

or

B> They're idiots with no clue what they're doing.

Here's hoping it's B.

The three new directors are 50, 32 and 30 years old. I'd assumed they'd be children given this decision. They joined the board yesterday, sack the management team today... next stop 'Birmingham Wildcat Dragon Rovers FC'

However, the Daily Mail article linked to earlier states that they want a high profile 'name' managing the club, hence Zola. I think they should have gone for Justin Timberlake, he's much more famous.

Bugger, players will be out to impress whoever is coming in now!


I normally think the same thing but it looks like everyone is gutted about this, I can't imagine the players will be happy to have lost a manager they respect and like. See Cardiff and Leeds and their meltdowns with foreign owners. I think we have a fantastic chance compared to before this happened.

Statement says they want an immediate replacement so reckon someone's lined up who'll be in by tomorrow and in charge on Saturday.
Just gotta hope their players are still in shock and not in all out impress the new boss mode

Got TalkSport on and H&J are assuming A. However they've just had Paddy Power on and he said they were pricing up the book currently. The HUGE names leading the market included Adkins, Cotterill and Jackett.

A quality young manager who was working wonders.
We as a club are blessed to have such an owner as TB.
Ridiculous decision making by BCFC.

PLEASE PLEASE GOD let it be Gerrard.

I mean I feel sorry for the Bluenoses and all, but by Christ that would be an abject disaster not to be missed.

Could be an interesting atmosphere on Saturday. Let's hope the players basically go on strike and dont really turn up.

Lots of post hoc rationalisation will happen here no matter what the result. We all need to commit to whether this is good or bad for us right now. I think good.
