Was desperate for things to work out because I didn't want a black mark against these owners so soon into their regime.
Lets not forget the improvements to the club off the field and the noises they're making too hopefully the egg on face that this has brought can be quickly forgotten
Have to believe we'll all come through this massive reality check stronger for it with just a slight dent to the ego which itself might not be a bad thing long term
Baby steps and all that
Llanon_joeBuddy MercerNot sure about O'Shea, but maybe Cole could be groomed to become Head Coach under an experienced manager, e.g. Mowbray
We'll see I suppose
If that's to happen with cole (which I doubt) he needs to 100% commit to the club! None of this going away with the England u21 during international breaks. Them periods are crucial for us at the moment.
Yep - I said that as they were appointed and was crucified, but it's just madness 2 have our first team coaches job sharing
We will, and the owners will have learnt a fair bit from this too, better to have that learning now than later
Up the fcking blues

Hopefully not for long as they were part of the problem imo.
We don’t know that to be fair. Maybe the players have spoken to Cook and said the coaches have been excellent but Rooney doesn’t have a clue?
You can count on one hand the amount of new managers who would work with incumbent coaches
They all bring their own team in
Fat Buddha CBEThey’ve got someone lined up. Guaranteed
Yeah, I'd be pretty surprised if not.
Genuinely sad it didn’t work out, but it really had to happen.
Bluesince62I’d be amazed. This lot ain’t BSHLFat Buddha CBEThey’ve got someone lined up. Guaranteed

Exactly... get shot of the lot, ridiculous appointments from top to bottom. Dry January lasted a long time, I'll be raising a glass to the new beginnings later. KRO
I’m happy they have atleast not waited around, timing is right, yesterday was the final nail in the coffin.
Got two weeks now pretty much, a window to get a few fresh faces in.
Do the due diligence and get the right man in Blues 👍

The word REQUIRED tells you all you need to know. Dead men walking.
Birmingham City have sacked manager Wayne Rooney after a run of nine defeats in 15 matches

Yeah I’m sure they will want their own team - just saying we don’t know Cole and O’Shea are shit at their jobs just because Rooney was.
