Finley_Smith10 Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 Birmingham just appointed Karanka as their head coach What is taking City so long as it’ll be 5 weeks since we sacked LJ tomorrow surely a interview process doesn’t take 5 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Island Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 It felt sensible to take a few weeks and get the right person. Now feels like we urgently need someone in to have their say on transfer ins and outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I can understand waiting till the end of the season to appoint someone and would defend the club over it, But they are taking the ******* piss now, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I think the problem is if its not Hughton, which I don't think it will be, it only amplifies the reaction. If it's Cook it won't be as positive as it would have been sooner and if its Holden I think a lot of fans will be so disappointed that it'll leave him feeling a little jaded that a lot of fans are unhappy with him and we'll all expect more yes man antics with no real improvement in the coaching. The club really need to impress with this appointment after taking so long or it'll be off to a poor start from the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did and they got rid of him- perhaps they were working on Karanka in the background, reports suggest 20th July was the first Karanka link with Birmingham.

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've got a feeling that after all this speculation it will be Holden who's in charge at the beginning of the season. I really hope I am very very wrong, but somehow I still have a certain dread that this might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did say while he was in charge at 25/1 he's had 5/10 games required by places like skybet for them to pay out on him being 'next manager' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted July 31, 2020 Report Share Posted July 31, 2020 I've said it in another thread. Oh no a team who has been fighting relegation for season after season, is run like crap and will most likely struggle again next season has hired a manager. Whereas a team who has been fighting for the play offs for the last 3 seasons is a well run club is taking its time to find the right manager to take them to the next level. This will not stand we must sack the board! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
