keflav Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just been listing to The Friday Football Social on BBC 5 live and Gary Rowett was one of the guest on the show mainly Talking about the Claudio Ranieri situation and I have to say what a straight forward sensible talking bloke agreed with most of the points he said having listen for the last hour and based on his record for Birmingham think when LJ Goes (think this has got to happen after tomorrows game despite what SL said today) he has got to be the manager we try our best to get in he fits the young manager project that SL goes on about but seems to have far more about him than I have ever seen in LJ.. I know this probably re-treads on points already made but felt I had to share... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC_Mike Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 By the time LJ goes, Rowett will be elsewhere and we would have missed our chance (if we ever had one). LJ isn't going anywhere anytime soon, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring in a new manager prior to Newcastle & as expected, we lose & similar for Villa (after all the money they've spent because they have to find their form at sometime right?) and the new manager is already up against it. If LJ takes the two defeats (as expected) and he gets the boot & no one blames the club for it. Just the feeling I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that any new manager / head coach would think twice of taking a job at a club in 21st place who's next two games are away at Newcastle & Villa. Odds are stacked massively against anyone coming in & getting a positive result in our favour, bring them in on Wednesday or Thursday & "your first game is home to Burton in front of 20,000+ fans backing you" & we're more likely to get someone willing to take the job.

samo II Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 I don't think SL would have said what he did today only to fire LJ after two away games against recent ex-Premier League teams.

No new manager would think like that. They'd have confidence in themselves that they could get results at Newcastle and Villa otherwise I'd question their suitability for the job. Villa are on the worst run in English football at the moment. Any manager who'd rather take over once that game was 'out the way' should not be anywhere near our football club. The logic doesn't stack up at our end either. If you've decided someone isn't up to the job then you dismiss them immediately, not keep them in post and resign yourselves to losing two more games.
