The Manager Merry-go-Round

[NUFC Tiger]

Birmingham's punt on Zola doesn't seem to be paying dividends. Winless in his first 7. The worst start by any of the club's managers since 1889 apparently.

Why did they get rid of Rowett in the first place given they were looking good for a play-off spot?

New owners.

Seem to have taken the Venky's approach.

Seems like they'll have to put the trillion trophies on hold then

Looks like Bojan KantKick has been on BBC 5 radio. After all you didn't want Maureen and do like Pulis.
Nice carribbean accent too.

Lord only knows mate. I 'think' there was a perception that Birmingham played ugly football under Rowett (even if it was effective for a club with a shoestring budget) and that Rowett wasn't an enough of an exciting name to spearhead the club's new owner's ambitions.

I have nothing against their fans personally but given the way the new owners treated Rowett (sacking and replacing him in something like 12 hours), it's hard to sympathise for them. From the bits of Rowett I've seen, seemed like a decent up and coming manager.

Brum fans hated the switch and think it's irony that they're doing shit under Zola.

Talk of Sunderland looking to Patrick Vierra if Moyes quits or get sacked

You reckon it's a bad move?

Great player but I get very big Gary Neville vibes hearing about it.

I'd prefer to keep Moyes anyway to be honest. When our best players are fit, we do get points. Right now our medical room is overflowing.

Vierra managed in the MLS at least unlike Neville. and youth teams too I think.

Yeah and those Man City youth sides were (and still are) stacked. It would take an idiot of extremes to not win with those sides.

And if we want someone with MLS experience then we'll just give Braddles another PL job.

Short also wants to sell up shop and isn't spending (why do you think we're looking at Lescott?). The Viera move would need a tonne of cash that Short isn't spending and he'd want a shit load of money for new players that Short won't spend.

Fair enough. Maybe the club is more sellable with a manager like that and youth prospects being used. Doesn't look good either way

vieira's youth teams had a big habit of choking in 'bigger' games at youth level. still happens in the youth league under davies, who is a worse coach.

Wiki says Aitor is out of Boro and Bryan Robson is in but I can't find articles or Tweets.

Given that it's Wiki right now that could be self explanatory.
