GangwayD Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 It's merely a post to highlight the utter madness that goes on in Football not me advocating anything other. Eustace has turned that club around and has them 6th. They sack him to replace him with Rooney who as much as I love, I don't wish any success on Birmingham after their last visit to us and some of the chants they came with.

Mucker1884 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Maybe it's a "Steve McClaren loves the Toon" situation? Sounds like Rangers are sniffing around Eustace (Tapping?), so Brum have "let him go" (With or without their best wishes?) 🤷♂️ Curtains and WystonRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GangwayD Posted October 9, 2023 Author Share Posted October 9, 2023 Slightly off topic, one think I did notice, is Krystian Bielik has almost made more appearances for them than he did for us in 4 years - God we've been unlucky with injuries to key players over the years, or at least if feels that way. If only ... @Mucker1884 I didn't think of that and a possible scenario. Gangway D from the terrace. Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like Rangers are sniffing around Eustace (Tapping?), so Brum have "let him go" (With or without their best wishes?) 🤷♂️ Sounds more like Garry Cook and Rooney have some dodgy relationship within football. Rooney stayed with us through all sorts of problems, but as soon as the Kirchner takeover (which was set to involve Garry Cook joining as CEO) fell through, he decided to leave and pop off to America despite his wife hating the place. Garry Cook is then appointed at Birmingham and within months Rooney is being brought in to replace a manager performing well. For whatever reason, they both appear desperate to work together. therealhantsram, Fla Ram, Mucker1884 and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Seems some fans think Eustace's style was boring and negative and the new owners are playing on that to justify the change of manager they were always going to make as soon as possibly after Rooney left DC, with their statement conveniently mentioning 'ambition' wanting to bring someone in to implement a "no fear" approach throughout the club.

So what’s his record in management ( honestly don’t know ) is he producing the so called pure possession football some on here crave has he been at Birmingham long ? Has he had success or is he just having a good run at the start of the season? where was he before brum and was he successful, promotions ect ect ? does he fit our budget and is he ok with our spend budget ? is he as garuanteed successful as is possible for the financial outlay to out warne and bring him in ? these are honest questions I don’t know the answer to rather than I don’t like or fancy warne so just get eustace in 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Eustace gets a payout and his reputation well and truly in tact. He will probably end up at Rangers where expectation is high, but if you do an above average job there you’ve got a direct pathway into a good Premier League job. Meanwhile Birmingham have a pretty expensive risk which only really pays off if they get promoted. Rooney is a bigger name than Birmingham, like he was with us. He knows that whatever he does there will still result with him getting another job pretty soon afterwards any way. Looks likely that everyone is a winner in this situation except Birmingham City. Which is a real shame… Zag zig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a real shame… Birmingham seem to have got lucky with their new ownership group. Eustace as you say leaves with reputation more than firmly intact, I’d say considerably enhanced. They were a basket case when he stepped in. Eustace is the sort of coach I’d love to see at Derby one day. Talks very measured too if you listen to his press soundbites.
