Don't get me wrong, Rowett is a top, top bloke, but he doesn't have anywhere NEAR the level of experience required for this level. He's simply not qualified to manage a Premier League team, no less one that is embroiled in a bitter relegation battle.
Are people not aware that he has only been a manager for 4 years, and for teams in the lower leagues? From 2012-2014 he managed League Two Burton Albion, and from 2014-2016 he managed a midtable Birmingham City side. This should in no way be enough to make him even a candidate for the job here--especially when there are so many better options out there.
It' scary turning on Sky Sports and seeing that him, along with Coleman, are the "favourites" for the job. We just appointed a guy without anywhere near the experience required for this level and we all so how utterly disastrous it turned out. Are we really to make the same mistake again? Seriously? |  |

I can see why you're saying that. To some degree, he's 'flavour of the month'. However, you're getting close to saying that we should never appoint a young manager, and I disagree with that.
He took over Birmingham when they were in a relegation battle and when he was sacked, they were near the top of the Championship. Apparently he's a good man manager, and his team play attractive football.
But if we want to go in the opposite direction, I'd be happy to see old 'Arry Redknapp (aged 69) appointed if he could bring John Terry and Frank Lampard with him, especially John Terry much as I detest him. Redknapp kept Portsmouth up a few seasons ago and he could do the same for us.

Rowett would be the perfect signing if this was 6 months on and we were getting relegated. |  | | |

We're in a relegation dogfight mun. This simply is NOT the time for a young, inexperienced "flavour of the month" manager.
The only thing Rowett should serve as is a last resort, if even that. There is no reason we should be looking at him before we look at guys like Marcelino, de Boer, Hodgson, Redknapp, or van Gaal. | |

I can definitely see this one happening, and it will be another bad decision by the club in my opinion.
It's no good sacking him if he doesn't keep us up though, because he won't. Give him the full three years, we can't go on giving compensation out because of shocking decisions by the board, because more will inevitably happen. |  | | |

He's very much a darling of social media and forums. But apparently Brum fans were complaining about his dull, defensive football. If true, he doesn't sound like the answer in terms of experience or football philosophy. I have paid much attention to his teams though (and neither I suspect have many people who are calling for him).
It would be interesting to get some first hand views on him to see thd real picture. |  | | |

Fair point - I was probably wrong about the "attractive football' bit.
Maybe we should go for the last manager on this list!

A young manager who is the darling of journalists and social media but actually plays tedious football in the main.

If the club really want to fight off relegation the Rowett will be nowhere near job. Let's face it at the moment it's all guesswork from the media, they don't know who he main contenders are and are just throwing names about to create a story. |  |

Now is not the time to experiment with a young manager's potential which is what he has but lacks experience.
To have any hope of staying up we need someone with experience.
If it were me I'd only consider giving Rowett the job now if I'd given up on us staying up and was preparing for the Championship.
How are Birmingham doing on the Championship anyway? [Post edited 28 Dec 2016 13:31]

Martinez, Sousa and Rodgers were all lower league when appointed and Monk did not do well when he had to create his own team and destroyed the style of play in my opinion, but none of them were appointed in the position we are face and experience in the key to staying up. | |

Arry to keep us up then reassess in the summer. If we employ Redknapp in time for him to wheel and deal in the market, we'll stay up... Then if he doesn't want it going forward, we can then look at Rowett, but Redknapp for me... he's already on about bringing Frank home to Swansea... |  |

Rowett stabilised a club in free fall and turned them in to promotion candidates with a budget of sweet fa. He's exactly the person we need right now. If we don't stay up making sure we're in a position to push for promotion the following season is a must and he'd be the man to do it.
The next manager we appoint is crucial. We can't be short sighted. This is all about having a long term strategic plan on both fronts. | | | |

OP - it depends on whether you think we're already relegated or not.
If you do, he'd be great to get in now to prepare for the championship.
If you don't, then he'd be a meh appointment.
With our squad, and the fact that we're already adrift, I think we've missed our chance of survival. He went to Selhurst Park a few days ago.
But all about opinions. |  | | |

Well have to agree to disagree, if we go down the yes, I would go for him, at at this minute with the trouble we are in, I can see nothing but an experienced manager keeping us up, and to gamble with a manager like Rowett would be too big a risk. Remember he did this with Championship, premier is a different level all together. | |

So the right man now or the right man to get us back up?
Maybe the latter but definitely not the former.
I wouldn't say Birmingham are strong promotion candidates; instead he's got them to the top of the dross that makes up most of that league.
It's a "no" from me. |  |

Who else are we going to get though? We struggled to attract a manger last year when the situation was better than the one we currently face.
I agree Birmingham aren't strong candidates for promotion. They are candidates though and that's a miracle considering where they were when he took over. [Post edited 28 Dec 2016 14:06]

I don't know but we need someone with more experience than Neville, Rowett, Gerrard, Giggs and Lampard combined. | |

People need to see what's in front of them. Sylvester Stallone montage in tow couldn't keep us up.
We have a terrible squad and a terrible starting eleven collectively.
We have been victims of chronic and deliberate underinvestment.
We need seven mad, rich sheiks to give us a chance of surviving after January. We're a Premier League write off.
Rowett is the sensible long term option.
As for he plays dull football 😂 |  |

At this moment in time it'd be absolutely ludicrous to give up, surrender, and accept that we've been relegated and hire a Championship manager for life in the Championship. We've still got 20 games ffs. The goal is always to stay up. It's far from over damn it. | |

He was interviewed on Sky as a pundit prior to the Derby v Birmingham game earlier this week. He said he played a pragmatic style because the players at Birmingham were incapable of playing a technical game plan. He was interested to see how Zola was going to play an open style with the players at his disposal. Derby won 1-0.
He came across as a bright manager and with a hard edge to him. |  |
