Fox92 Posted 14 December 2016 Author Share Posted 14 December 2016 Rowett has gone. Wtf. Done an unbelievable job at Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Easily the strangest decision i've seen in the Championship in years. They're doing incredibly on a tiny budget with young players. There's either a massive story behind the scenes or the new owners have gone mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arriba Los Zorros Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Rowett was going well at Brum City. Pleased though cos I hate them and their horrible fans, hopefully they'll drop down the league. It must be about transfer funds, threatened to leave and got the bullet instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ealingfox Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Promising young English manager getting good results with limited resources is spurned in favour of patchy continental.

Matt Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 3 minutes ago, Worthington said: Shortage of intelligence from BIH there. Apparently, according to a 'bluenose' friend, there's a feeling that the owners are suffering from the usual Chinese trait of rating managerial talent on a 'big name' basis, rather than actual managerial ability or potential! Rowett's a decent young manager. I'd predict he'll be back in employment January latest! Here?! Nah think he'll get another Championship job, it's a tough one because most of the top clubs in that league won't be looking for managers, so you'd think he'd need to go to a mid-table Championship team and build them up, I can't see a Premier League team giving him a chance just yet.

Sharpe's Fox Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Wasn't Alex Neil supposed to be in trouble? I know they got a win yesterday but Norwich seem to all for young managers. I reckon he'll go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FriendlyRam Posted 14 December 2016 Share Posted 14 December 2016 Amazing really regarding Rowett.. that's the way to treat someone who's done a pretty good job under the circumstances tbh , has had his best players sold behind his back, has had next to nothing to spend and still only has them near the playoffs only outside them on goal difference.. pathetic owners tbh and it really does sum football up.

Having had to deal with our meddling owner I really don't think he'd take long to blow a fuse with those Birmingham owners, they've installed a trio of computer geeks in charge of the club . English football sold its soul for the money, but its getting ridiculous with some of the decisions and some of the ways they run the club. 7th only out the playoffs on goal difference having spent nothing....
