Because no fear football really drives the fans back eh?
Nikola ZigicThat’s Mowbray mate.CastleBlueThe dislike towards him is strange.
As it always has been. The best manager we've had over the last decade.
Now wash yer gob out
TresorLuntalaPoloMakes you wonder why he's been sacked from every club he's been at...
Apart from Burton and Derby.
And officially he was sacked from Birmingham because he was looking at other jobs, not for footballing reasons.

3 wins so far.
On paper and we hope he will be but of course he is yet to prove he is the best Blues manager over the last 10 years.
Next season I'm sure he will.

Has it? I was/am an advocate for it, but we haven't got greatly improved attendances. I think we would've had we kept Eustace - there's no way we wouldn't have sold out that first game with a fully open St Andrews had the change not been made and positivity drained by Rooney's reign.
And I don't necessarily agree with it, but there's no doubting that even 5-6 months into changing our style the home fans still get very nervy about playing out the back and frustrated at the slow tempo.
The style of football is irrelevant - the results are what will drive fans back. If Rowett sorts us out defensively which he's sure to do, we may be able to get the most out of our attacking players and win more games. That's what'll drive the fans back.
Also side note - all good talking about possession based attacking football gets teams promoted, but the team who played that way at this level are struggling massively in the premier league, and the team who were more pragmatic and transition based are making a good go of staying up. Lots more goes into it than that, recruitment etc, but seriously, does it matter if you have 25 shots or 5 if the ones you have go in? Did they also take into account (when looking at the data of the promoted teams) which of those teams got promoted with non-parachute payments and what style of football they played?

Good job no Blues fan has ever looked at/applied for/ interviewed for other jobs whilst employed.
debullyMy son and 6 of his work mates went to the Southampton game. He hadnt been for around 15 years. They loved the football and he has the bug again. Cant go regular because of work but the lot of them were willing to go as we played a better brand. If Rowett was perm manager they would quickly lose interest. They are all in their mid 20's and are the fans of the future. You dinsour hoof ball types will be the death of this clubBecause no fear football really drives the fans back eh?

Particuarly if the company owners have made it pretty clear they don't fit in to the future plans.

I’m happy he’s coming back, he’s super confident, knows what he’s doing, and is the right guy for now too.
I know for a fact he was looking at the Derby job, but who can blame him, we’ve all done it to get on, it’s just a job for these guys, it’s all good.
I don’t think this means anything about Tony M, I’m not sure he was ever coming back this season. We had to do something as doing nothing will mean we get relegated…..
Let’s just focus on the next couple of games, then we can see where we are!!
Up the Rowett, up the Jumper shirt combo, he’ll have a massive point to prove too 👍👍

I'm almost certain you was talking about how you can't give tickets away to people for the last game. That's how entertaining life has been with open football but getting beat most weeks.
Attendances are better because we have better owners, not because we are 4th bottom but pass more.

We are sleepwalking into relegation and it’s clear Venus can’t lead them so we need a quick fix to guide us to safety.The rest of it doesn’t matter as long as we can stay up,period.
coventrybluenoseMiss WorldUrgh, depressing news 👎🏻
Very worried Mowbray won’t be coming back now. This appointment runs the risk of the owners painting themselves into a corner. If it doesn’t work, we go down. If it does work, they could very well keep Rowett on. Lose/lose.
So what’s your solution?
The options aren’t ’Rowett or nobody’
Blimmey Rowett really divides the fans! Mind you I’m on the fence but these are the facts since we were last in the PL, he is second only to Chris Hughton regarding % wins at 39%.
This doesn’t include Mowbray as he has managed fewer than 10 games.
