Rowett leaves Birmingham

[Easy 10]

Won't make it any easier mate. I'd take a point now.

Agreed, it still won't be easy, was never likely to be. But I certainly can't see how this'll help in their preparations to face the most fearsome team in the division.

Rudderless ship on Saturday then.
Fans will be voicing their opinion on saturday with Sky there.
This negative atmosphere will affect the players.
Decision is madness.

This is excellent timing for us, but you have to feel sorry for Rowett and his backroom staff.

Birmingham are currently 7th, only out of the play-off positions (where they've been for most of this season) on goal-difference, a heady 6 points above city rivals Villa. I fancy Norwich and Derby will finish top six but with a fair wind and a decent window Birmingham had as good a chance as anyone else of making the play-offs. I can only assume Birmingham have a name manager lined up. It's got Big Sam written all over it.

They are not playing Newcastle now till Jan in the cup and March in the league?

I have just texted my Brum mate about this and await his response with interest. He worshipped Rowett (and Hughton).

Their players will either put in a really inept performance on Saturday, as they'll be gutted that Rowett and his backroom staff are no more. Then again, with Big Sam in the main stand making notes('get it forward to the big man asap')...

Oh Christ you're right I hadn't thought of that.

To echo, Rowett has done a great job and comes across as a honest, young manager. They won last night too.

Must have someone lined up. Not easy to transition if the whole backroom staff leave immediately. Who takes training this week? Paul Robinson is captain, could be him?

Wow. I just don't get that.

I thought he was doing a really good job there

...Hopefully this plays in our favour for Saturday...

So apparently Trillion Trophy appointed three new Directors to the BCFC board yesterday. Must be related?

The logic is probably that Rafa is managing in the Championship so they should be able to get a Champions League winning manager in too.

Di Matteo? [emoji6]

 

[KingstonSeagull]

Seems like a sacking to me

Whats that got to do with anything ?

 

[RM-Taylor]

Any idea who's going to be caretaker for them on Sat?

 

[Keith Patel]

Ludicrous decision.

With none of the coaches left I wonder who's taking training today? Great timing for us.

 

[Driver8]

Hope they don't try and unsettle Hughton!

Clearly they're bringing in someone who has their own backroom staff. Big Sam ticks that box, his entourage is bigger than that of Kanye West.

Gus to Birmingham

All adds up now, Brucie slating his players. He's going back,

 

[Whoislloydy]

Strange one that, they won last night?!
