Rogers Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Bad news this if it happens Former Blues player and manager Rowett is set to return to the club for a third time and could therefore become the sixth different man to pick a team this season, following John Eustace, Wayne Rooney, caretaker Steve Spooner, Mowbray and Venus. He was sacked by Blues' previous owners in December 2016 when Blues were seventh in the Championship, kept out of the play-off zone only on goal difference. Birmingham's next game is after the international break against QPR on Friday, 29 March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almat Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I know different ownership now but what is it with Birmingham sacking their managers when in (or just outside on GD) the play off places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Not good news for us as he’s a decent manager but let’s see. We only have to finish above two more teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Really good manager imo. Quite defensive, solid football but he seems to have done a good job most places he has been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr edmeister Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Quote Worried Colin is going to take over one of the teams within reach I don't think you need to worry - can't see it happening now. Millwall and Birmingham were probably most likely and they have gone elsewhere. I see QPR, Hudders and Stoke sticking with who they have. Plymouth are possibly in the worst form of anyone in the thick of it, but I don't see Colin fitting their footballing philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They hired a new manager early February, but weirder things have happened if they don’t start getting results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Always thought we should have gone with Rowett when we appointed Monk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southie_Owl Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Yeah that's Brum safe, i've predicted Plymouth, Hudds and Rotherham for the drop - unless Plymouth replace their manager for Warnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Never known a more panic stricken end to a season than this. Feels like almost half the division has absolutely lost its head at the prospect of going down. We feel weirdly stable. Röhl has been in place a while and we know what we're doing, and have had the same target and goal since literally the first kick of the season at home to Southampton. Just got to hope that's enough to guide us past 2 of the others who are flailing around in freefall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Hopefully he’ll not give them the bounce that Harris has given Millwall Really exciting end to the season is this. Part of me is hoping we only get out of the relegation zone on the final day. imagine that after 44 games in the bottom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
