Would make more sense to not sack him, and negotiate a hefty compensation package.

Giggs or Gerrard someone who can sell a trillion shirts back home
Fingers crossed this plays into the Albion's hands, but assuming Zola's the man I can't help thinking we'd be better off playing them in a few games time.
Give Zola a couple of games to screw the team up, as opposed to 'one last effort' for Rowett.
Looking ahead though, I'm more certain of 3 points in April, assuming Zola is still the manager then!

But Stat Bruv, Do you not think that if the players trusted and like Rowett - as they seem to do - they will "protest" on
Saturday by not trying?

Starting to make some sense with Zola and we may be in for a tough game after all.
I wouldn't go that far, hopefully they are to 'stunned' to play.
I reckon they'll be a sweet spot, which will happen to be over Christmas,
when the new man is trying to impose himself, and the team won't know it's arse from it's elbow.I've just had a look, after us it's Derby, Barnsley then Brentford...
...one more team out of the promotion equation.

I think that they will raise their game on Saturday. We must just hope it is not by enough to upset us.

Talk of Zola, lovely guy, pretty shoddy track record.

Zola is expected to take training tomorrow so 3 sessions to sufficiently confuse the players so they are caught between Rowett's style and his

There are a couple on my bank of desks. Rowetts sacking was a surprise to say the least and the initial reaction was as you'd expect. This was tempered by
1. They've had no money for a while. This is seen as clearing the decks to spunk loads up the wall in Jan. Time will tell if that is true - I'm not convinced.
2. Rowetts style of football isnt pleasing to the eye. I've watched them a few times last year and it is tolerable rather than enjoyable. Sort of Mark Mcghee marmite when he was with us.
Didn't Zolas Watford outplay us at the Amex that season before losing to you know who in the play off final or has my memory deceived me? That's what I told them anyway (Well, along with winding them up that Tim Sherwood was favourite for next manager)

Has Zola got a backroom staff to bring with him?

I mentioned Zenga tongue-in-cheek, as he is EXACTLY the type of hapless big name appointment these clueless chinese businessmen seem to gravitate towards (as Wolves found out to their cost this season).
Zola is very much in that ilk, albeit not quite as much of a dunces choice as Zenga, as he has at least managed in the country. Even though he was a failure.

Very strange decision. Zola doesn't come across as an upgrade on Rowett
