Harry Redknapp - New Birmingham Boss - Cotts his Assistant !!

[BobBobSuperBob]

Being reported on radio that Harry appointed at St Andrews !!

Adds a bit to the mix !!

[sglosbcfc]

He's going to have to rely on other results, with a few weeks left and no transfer window all he can do is try to give the players a psychological boost.

[Super]

given themselves a chance.

[Blazeyrobins]

Confirmed on BBC sport

[Ashtonwurzel]

Can't "transfer" his way out of this one. Good chance that they will have to get something versus us to stay up.

[BobBobSuperBob]

One of few who might be able to get a reaction in such a short space of time 

[Robbored]

Redknapp is a very decent appointment for Brum. He'll have the same effect as Colin did last season at Rotherham. Sadly for them it'll probably too late......

[Spoons]

Cotts might get a job after all! Didn't he get appointed first team coach at qpr by redknapp

[brizzlelou]

I'm worried again

[cityloyal473]

That'll be enough for them I'd wager. Doesn't fill me with confidence going in to our last game against them though, need a positive result on Saturday or it could literally be squeaky bum time on the final day.

Bet he's on a nice little bonus for keeping them up.

[supercidered]

I've been dreading this news.

Really wanted Zola to stay on! I think Harry could really be exactly what they need.

[RUSSEL85]

Still think he can make Brum go bust by May, even without a transfer window!

[Ashtonwurzel]

We need 1 win from Barnsley or Brighton for it not to be an issue. Confident myself.

[Barrs Court Red]

They have Villa away and then Huddersfield before playing us.

By that time we will be 7 points clear, and relegate them on the final day.

Fun appointment!...

Will get them organised enough to beat the drop and I'm sure on a tidy bonus.

Let's get our job done v Barnsley as I would hate to need points v Brum..

 

[Ashtonwurzel]

If they lose to Villa and Huddersfield still have a "sniff" of automatic then they are really struggling - IMO.

Their goal difference is terrible also, could be the decider !!

Its a simple case of shit or bust, pay him what he wants for a few weeks, if it works it was worth every penny. If not, he ultimately wont get the blame. Dont see Brum going down anyway, I look at Rovers fixtures and cant see them winning another game

Not so sure, I can see Blackburn getting a win and draw from their last 3 games. In that scenario Brum would need 2 more points to finish above them (GD + 6 in Blackburns favour)

Tha would also mean Forest need to win a game to finish above Brum and Blackburn.

me too. Dead Cat Bounce may have an effect....just hope Villa can knock the stuffing out of 'em

[BobBobSuperBob]

HR On Talksport now 

No formal agreement - Nothing decided after this season - Going to try and keep them up and see what happens from there

[BobBobSuperBob]

Cotts going with him

 

Finally - A job for Cotts !

Could be an interesting final day !!!!!

Harry just said on talksport that he is his number 2

[BobBobSuperBob]

Can see Cotts taking the reigns if Harry doesn't stay long term 

[Alex_BCFC]

Shame - decent appointment. They will stay up now I think.

And I think Forest, although labouring, will do enough with Warburton.

I'm hopeful that one point will keep us up as don't see Blackburn getting more than 5 points.

[Frenchay Red]

Nightmare scenario, Cotts relegating his old club in the final game!
