Gary Rowett sacked by Birmingham

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

The new owners are linked to the last one, it seemed more a rebranding than a new set. There might be some money to spend in January however, but Rowett more than deserved the chance to spend it.

I look forward to the condemnation by the press of sacking an English manager by nasty foreigners, without giving him a chance.

Birmingham City Zola Warriors?

Not bad; a nod to those nice Zulu chaps, I presume?

 

[bluemoon32]

Zola was a great player but he's been a complete failure as a manager, what a strange decision

 

[Burtonblue]

Big mistake this.
Rowett loves that club and has been treated abismally.
I hope it costs them dear.

What's Zola's recent history as a manager? I lost track of his movements after he left West Ham.

Why would Zola go there?

Birmingham - the Sardinia of the Midlands.

Birmingham - the Sardinia of the Midlands.

Zola confirmed. Will take charge of training today.

Utter madness, considering Zola's patchy record as a manager and what Rosetta has achieved at St Andrews.

I know he did a stint at Cagliari as I remember seeing them on telly a season or 2 back,did he go Quatar or Saudi or somewhere in middle east I think
