Gabriel Jesus has lost it.

Hahahaha go on Wolves

Our first Rowett.

They're just eggs

The sheer vine volume of jimmies rustled on any social media account posting about the start of Ramadan. So many comments saying 'what about Lent?!'. Dullards.

How

Once tried to steal a bike with some bolt cutters. It was before Portsmouth at home. 20th April 1991. A famous day! Had no intention of going to the game, some guy comes up to me and threatens me if I didn't leave it. It could have got nasty but then he said he'll get the Police on me! I left it alone for about half an hour, they all walked off to the game and I went back to get the bike. He seemed an interesting fella, the look of someone who has had an experience or two and stories to tell from it.

Similar game today to Aus vs SL. Well done Nepal.

I believe he's due at Seagrave in the next couple of hours.

Guessing a NR also eliminates Aus?

Hopefully the ever obliging Stoke turn up and allow Rowett a win against his old club...

It's not one of his preferred formations. So I doubt it.

You've got this post down to a tee.

Few decent ties there

AI.

Ha, good one!

Exquisite from SL. Absolutely obliterated Australia there.

I don't envy him for his first 4 or 5 games to face up to Stoke away Boro away Norwich home Ipswich away Bristol City home

Aus going out here! But over from Nissanka. Win it with a 6 to get your ton!

The original plan for King to have it for longer should have been a non-started. He should have been in place for 1 game, max. Again, it just goes to show the lack of foresight, forward thinking or forward planning from the club. We are specialists in delaying.

Google's AI summary: Gary Rowett is an experienced Championship manager known for organizing solid defensive structures, building competitive teams, and emphasizing high-energy, hard-working performances. Often viewed as a, practical "fixer" or "firefighter" manager, he adapts his systems to fit existing player capabilities rather than enforcing a rigid philosophy, commonly targeting top-six challenges or stabilizing clubs. Key aspects of Gary Rowett's management style include: Defensive Organization: Teams under Rowett are typically well-organized, with a notable ability to secure clean sheets and create a hard-to-beat reputation. Adaptability: He tailors his tactics to the squad's strengths, prioritizing effective, direct, and pragmatic football to secure results, especially when taking over mid-season. Championship Expertise: With over 400 games in the second tier, he has managed clubs like Birmingham, Derby, Stoke, Millwall, and Oxford. High Work Ethic: He demands high levels of commitment, drive, and honesty from players, focusing on team spirit. Motivational Focus: He approaches management as a, "sales job" that requires convincing players to believe in his methods and feel motivated. His tenure often brings immediate structure to struggling teams, but he has sometimes faced challenges in maintaining long-term, top-tier promotion momentum.

Rowett's profile on Transfermarkt Preferred formation is 4-2-3-1 (obviously)

Quite obviously not that straightforward. Dyche probably never entertained an offer from us.

Doesn't matter. What other club takes 3-4 weeks to hire an interim or permanent manager after sacking the previous one, mid-season? Just further emphasises the club have no plan and they're just seemingly winging it. In saying that, I'm actually satisfied we've hired someone that may actually kick some of these players arses and demand 100%. Rowett doesn't strike me as someone to take any shit and he will happily put himself about if standards aren't high or maintained. I've got some level of confidence (a couple of iotas now...) that we can be somewhat competitive and actually have some organisation about us. It may not be perfect but at least we have something to get behind. I'm not so underwhelmed as others because it was never going to be anyone special in our predicament Top and Co have put us in. It's something, and that's what I'll cling on to!

Should never have taken this long.
