Gianfranco Zola resigns as Birmingham boss/Redknapp appointed

[Gray]

He doesn't seem the vindictive type, but I bet Gary Rowett is having a quiet chuckle to himself.

Great player.
Lovely guy.
Shit manager.

An object lesson for the star-struck teenagers on the BCFC board.

Find something else to do, Gianfranco.

I don't understand why he's resigned today, its unlikely that anyone else can change their form now, and they're not going to get a full time appointment with 3 games to go. For me he's taken the cowards way out, resigning before it can be said he was the manager when they were relegated.

I'm not sure he ever had much hope there, a bad appointment by the club, I expect their new owner wanted a certain style of play which was why they brought him in, but the championship is not the place to try that, you need proven managers at that level, even Benitez (thought of as a world class manager by many) is struggling to get Newcastle over the finishing line, despite the budget they've had.

Another team owned by crooks who passed "The fit and proper" test.

Absolutely ludicrous appointment that was bound to fail from day one. They were overachieving under Rowett and actually only 3 points from the play offs. So they fire him and hire a serial failure as a manager. Deserve to be relegated hope it happens.

Lee Carsley would be daft to manage Birmingham City with the current owners.

Did OK at the hammers as well, before they replaced him with Avram Grant and got relegated.

Nope, he was f*cking clueless. How we stayed up under him I will never know. Awful manager

Harry Redknapp just appointed new manager
Awright Arry

 

[FantasyIreland]

Haha,he just cant retire can he?

Well,if you need a panic appointment/man for a crisis(and all sorts of other things......) then,i guess,Arry is the man.
