Always love a 'Gary'. Not enough 'Garys' these days.

Andy King.

He said manage....  

(love you Andy.  )

[nettle]

Wouldn't be my choice but I think he might make us a bit harder to beat🤞🏻

[STUHILL]

Positives: He knows the league in and out, and likely has well established backroom staff to come straight in with him

 

Negatives: Far from an inspiring or exciting appointment and seems a run-of-the-mill Championship Manager. 

Up to the players now whether they respond well to him and get us to safety or not. I have my doubts, as they are a useless bunch.

Long term wise... you may have to go back the 50s or 60s. 

14 months for Rob Kelly not long term then?

Come on here and I'm very surprised to find a load of whining winnies bemoaning the likely appointment of Gary Rowett, likely the same moaning fkrs that moan about no appointment and anything else you can moan about!

 

Welcome Gary , sort em out and keep us up .....UTC 👊🦊💙

Hasn't got the best record but it feels like we all believe that league 1 here we come so, we have little to lose anyway.

[Foxin_Mad]

If he can get Luke Thomas and Okoli to defend or pass a football he will become a legend 

[jim5000]

I don't know what he is going to do about us having Ayew up front, Thomas left back, no defensive midfielders, and a weakness and continued sense of failure that runs through the spine and permeats throughout the squad. 

[Nolucklcfc]

Need a miracle to stay up with these lot imo but if he does keep us up, he deserves it full time. Obviously long way off any of that yet. 

[TeamRocket]

How depressing

If he can setup so that we are not exposed by Luke Thomas' frailties, and Okoli's shite passing, and Riccy's age, then he will become a legend.

He has a good record on the initial bounce, so much so that if he does the same here we will be safe. Big if with this shambles though

It is, but it feels club relevant at this time.

 

Look on the bright side, its not another failure ridden Pep wannabe 

[huddersfieldfox]

Not. My First choice but on reflection look at where we are. I think we now have a fighting chance to stay up, the only problem is getting rid of the rot within. If rumours are correct it’s one player that is stirring the s—t and he needs to go. 
Another manager but I will try my best to back him and hope to god we don’t go down, we have time

[Leicesterpool]

And the new manager is

True, just feels really depressing that the club has dropped so much but yeah have to look for the bright side.

Can you elaborate? Winks or Vestergaard

Rowett's profile on Transfermarkt

 

 

Preferred formation is 4-2-3-1 (obviously)

 

To be fair, people say his spell at Stoke was poor … but that PPG will keep us in the division 

[cityfanlee23]

He will want to be here, seems to hold players to account, and drives standards; his teams are often quite aggressive from what I've seen. 
If he signs the deal i'll be right behind him, I'll be glad to get rid of sideways ball for a start. 

He's been at quite unstable clubs in the past and often made decent work with what he has had, so hopefully with us having some decent individual quality, if he can find a formula that gels us together, we might pick up the points needed to stay up, from there we can hopefully build. 

Please, Gary, please don't kill this optimism by immediately picking Luke Thomas and Ayew.

Not a lot a manager can do at this stage other than motivate. We need someone cheap and willing to come till end of season and for me Nige stuck out as the obvious choice, but was always gonna be a problem for rudkin

Why do people keep mentioning this relic. ffs give it a rest he is so washed up its unreal. he is ill and a shit manager for the last 10 years when in work.  No one with an ounce of sanity would have him here!

[TamuffFox]

Has there ever been a manager to manage as many of his ex clubs as a player as Rowett. 

 

Burton, Brum, Derby...now us...surely a record!
