The Manager Sack Race/Merry-go-Round

[leon]

Is Rooney destined to be the next manager with a 'big' prefix on their name?

as in Big Cnut?

[From Despair To Where?]

Eustace officially "parted company" with. Rooney will be in before the weekend.

Apparently, the board want someone who can instill a "no fear" mentality at the club. No mention of actually winning football games but you know, good for them.

Rooney with his career to date 27.5% win rate will ensure they have no fear of losing more than they win.

Reminds of when they were heading for the playoffs under Gary Rowett, then inexplicably replaced him with Zola and nearly got relegated.

Was going to say they've got previous for this with Rowett and Zola.

Bham fans deserve a medal for putting up with this.

Wazza appointed at Birmingham on a 3.5 year deal

The same Wazza that left his last job saying he had nothing lined up?

Rooney will be supported by his former England team-mate and current England Under-21 assistant Ashley Cole and his old United colleague John O'Shea, the assistant coach of the Republic of Ireland men's national team.

Carl Robinson and Pete Shuttleworth will also be part of Rooney's backroom staff after both assisted him at DC United.

Here's wishing Birmingham all the worst after their sacking of Eustace.

Birmingham's financial woes definitely behind them then.

Listened to a thing a couple of days ago that said the new American owners of Birmingham are currently in talks over a TV series on their new club, and them getting Rooney is nothing more than wanting a big name involved

fantastic stuff - never liked Birmingham City. Granted they're no Aston Villa, but still.

[Loafer]

Hope they go down

Reading are looking at doing a TV series, it's going to be called The Chinese Defective.

At the moment it wouldn't be Bargain Hunt nor The Price is Right.

Rooney wants to get Birmingham City back to the Premier League where "it belongs". Is it me, or do we have around 40 clubs in this country who think they "belong" in the top flight?

Yes. Leeds, Wednesday, Soton, Sunderland, Stoke, Middlesbrough, Birmingham etc. Can’t see the PL agreeing to increase the number of teams in the division to satisfy all these entitled victim clubs though.
