History repeating itself?
Zola's record after 15 games.. W 2 D 3 L 11 f 13 A 26
Rooney record after 15 games W 2 D 4 L 10 f 15 A 30
17th in the league after 15 games 7th Under Rowett before Zola took over
20th in the league after 15 Games 6th under Eustace before Rooney took over
Zola drew the next 3 games after this, can't see that under Rooney at the moment
Records so similar, need to act now before it gets any worse and it happens again
Striking similarities for me
A CEO who’s been been sided by a big name
Whilst Gerard did at least win the SPL in his defence, he was up against a Celtic team under Neil Lennon. I think we can all agree hardly a managerial giant
NSWE made very sure they sought sound advice and Purslow was sidelined for the follow appointment
I would expect we like any club would have made provision for a replacement. Surely the vast majority of us know that time has arrived. Читать дальше...

Was he there today?
Agree
Sensible fans were saying ' steady the ship' following departure of last owners and hopefully top 10 finish. I would have been happy with that
Even without promotion i was looking forward to a half decent season.
That Sunny day in August v Leeds when B9 was buzzing feels a million miles away now. There was so much hope then
Sack obviously
Part of the problem at Blues has been a lack of continuity due to the number of managers we've got through over the last decade or so
That's one of the main reasons I didn't want Rooney to replace JE when he did
However, there is absolutely no evidence that Rooney will become a good manager, whilst we're hurtling towards the bottom 3 at an alarming rate. unfortunately, therefore, it has to be
SACK
…financially of WR, AC & JOS ?
Do managers contracts have any sort of probation period or KPIs under which we can get rid within certain timescales or due to lack of performance like normal jobs, or is it simply buy out the remaining ?

Managers definitely have performance break clauses where they don’t get a payout if certain targets aren’t reached - remember reading that Nuno had one at Spurs
Whether our CEO put one in his mates contract, who knows?
All i can think of is no new injuries I could see
No positives. Shocking defensively. Toothless going forward.
Is that for the first time in years we had some hope of a season that could have been something other than 19th place and looking at the bottom 3
There is no way I would have backed us to make the play offs under Eustace but there are very very few sides who are out of the race at this point of the season
And we're one of them, again
And its really effing annoying and frustrating
Another wasted season
