Yes I do that’s correct. I believe that it’s the way forward if we want to develop as a club.

They wanted us to be a Premier League force but without realistic investment (in the squad) and without insisting Nigel Clough shuffles his coaching staff. Was never going to happen.

For the last two or three seasons most have believed we had the foundation of a squad capable of automatic promotion with the introduction of two or three players. We are now talking of a complete rebuild promoted or not.So yes in my opinion the team hasn't moved forward or improved. I would also suggest with the exception of Wolves this season has probably been easier than others with the likes of Sunderland,Middlesbrough,villa not doing as well as expected. Can't disagree with any of your points however, you say "in your opinion" which means it isn't fact. A word overused. Some would argue that to finish higher in the league represents progress and, a rebuild would be required if we'd somehow managed to get promotion. Also, none of us really know what constraints and pressures he has really been working under in terms of recruitment, getting funds in etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are obviously a poster on each extreme end of the spectrum That's exactly what I said. Small camps at extremes, majority in mid range.

ramsbottom Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 No. Simply because we've seen him in the last couple of games show what a lot of Brum fans commented about him when he came to us, tactical flexibility. Things had stagnated, and weren't working, so he's changed things. Admittedly it could've helped if he'd done it a few games earlier but it's welcome none the less...

Rample Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm not sure I'll be 100% happy either way unless somebody outstanding is lined up and its a no brainer. I think he has shortcomings that will always hamper us but this couple of week revival, even if it doesn't come to anything may be the catalyst for avoiding or at least reversing the January slump next year. I've been preaching stability for a long time, and although I'm not sure Rowett is the stability we actually need. I'd be apathetic about him staying or going rather than incensed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minesahartington Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 If he approachs this game with 5 defenders 2 defensive midfielders and lets them have the ball and we lose then he has to go. Simple however there is a proverb that says you only fall into a ditch so many times that eventually you find a way out. Let’s hope he grows a pair and finally lets the team express themselves. In that case he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gone Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 4 hours ago, Tamworthram said: It annoys me too but hardly a sackable offence especially if any/all of your other "strict criteria" are met. I think Gary would have a very strong case for unfair dismissal. Yeah but if I had the power to sack him it’d mean I’m loaded so could afford take the case on. I’d be a tough owner and probably not a very good one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
