Sacked, according to The Mirror. 15 games. That went well. |  | | |  |

thats a shame, they looked catchable |
Just what I thought Dave. A half decent manager should be able to right that ship with that squad, as Schumacher is doing with Stoke.
The '3 from 4' began to look line a '3 from 8' oh so briefly, but I reckon is now back to 3 from the current bottom 4 + possibly Plymouth. |  |

I feel more sympathy for Rooney than Birmingham. But not much... |  |

Is the slightly good news that it's going to cost them a fair few squid to sack him and that will count against FFP and so hamper any spending plans they may have had to strengthen ? |  | | |

"I do not believe 13 weeks was sufficient to oversee the changes that were needed." - that old chesnut. yeah but, no but... you took the club from 6th to 20th in 15 games/3 months.
"I plan to take some time with my family as I prepare for the next opportunity in my journey as a manager." - Manager?! ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ...... |  | | |

We're not catching Rotherham, let alone a club 7 points ahead. |  | | |

It's wild because they sacked a really good upcoming manager that had them I the play offs!  [Post edited 2 Jan 2024 15:14]

So it's not just us that bugger things up big time !!!
Here you get players disrespecting managers because they estimate their talent way too high for our managerial choices.
AT brum and others it's the manager that humiliates the players as they cant do what they did in their careers.
Either way it's lose lose but someone else this season will make a similarly idiotic snap decision. [Post edited 2 Jan 2024 16:03]

He was always a poor choice. Especially when they sacked Eustace to get him.
It was touch and go between him and Lowe for next sacrifice. |  |

Just saw a rumour that Brum will appoint Frank Lamppost as their new manager. Please let it be true. |  | | |

I mean that really would complete the process all over again wouldn't it?
Rowett 6th >>> Zola >>> Harry
Eustace 6th >>> Rooney >>> Harry's fat nephew | | | |

They've had a nice, big juicy Jude Bellingham sell on clause payment recently don't forget. |  |

Give him a few months, then sack him and bring Allardyce in for the last six games on a 5 million quid contract. | | | |

Unfortunately, they are talking to Tony Mowbray which would be a shrewd appointment |  |

I think because he managed their local rivals, West Brom  |  |

Well maybe but not as bad as having managed Villa.
Anyway he's a decent Championship manager - if not Marti, then I'd be quite happy having him here. | |
