Doesn’t need to mean it, just utter the damn words. and praise the stadium and the HPC. Yawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyD68 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Good choice imo.. young, hungry manager who will want to prove a point given how he left Birmingham. NP has built a great foundation for the new manager to build on, I still think the sacking was very unfair and a shame how things turned out, but this appointment would definitely soften the blow a little. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 19 minutes ago, IAmNick said: Just bloody own your decisions - say Pearson was hard to work with, he didn't do things the way the club wanted, he wouldn't accept a lack of control, whatever it was. Stop this naval gazing bollocks with your stupid corporate hat on and explain ffs. Don’t raise your hopes too much - just what sort of reception do you think JL would get if he has the balls to go on to the pitch before next game? He’d get shouted and jeered at by thousands of people, and no doubt a few would try to get on the pitch to give him some advice and ask for the keys to ‘their club’ back. You might get some explanation on social media but it whatever happens most fans won’t be trusting them again for a long time. Demanding - and expecting - them to walk away is ridiculous. It’s a multi million pound business which has already been for sale for a while and we’ve seen or heard of little interest so sadly we will have to continue with the Lansdowns ownership for a while yet. I’d be surprised (but delighted) if any of the new infrastructure such as the new Sporting Wuarter development progresses any further than it already has.

CityBS15 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) I joined here in 2004 and I’d be very happy with a John Eustace appointment, best of the available bunch for me. Got a bit sick of Pearsons’ hoof ball towards the end. Cheers. Edited October 31, 2023 by CityBS15 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 anyway good luck John you will need it as head coach of our club. There is no doubt whatever has happened you start with a clean slate and 99pc of our fans will be behind you. Unlike the disdain most feel for the owner.

Jerseybean Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 While waiting to see if this is true and knowing little about JE I had a little look around. First thing I stumbled across was ironic…..Birmingham City have released a lengthy statement to their supporters explaining their decisions for sacking manager John Eustace. He will celebrate his 44th birthday on 3 November. As a central midfielder he played for Coventry City , Dundee United, Middlesborough, Stoke City, Hereford, Watford and Derby County. After two-year managerial reign at Kidderminster Harriers (including two play-off campaigns) https://youtu.be/3jt5LzxLzQQ?si=odStzlbajAZ_xeAy he moved to QPR where he was Steve McClaren’s assistant. The currently empty managers seat at Loftus Road has fueled speculation he might be heading back there. He left QPR when Beale took over, at the time QPR CEO Lee Hoos said: “John has been the ultimate professional from the moment he joined us four years ago. He has a fantastic attitude and is an incredibly hard-working individual.” He succeeded Lee Bowyer as head coach of Birmingham City in July 2022. His first managerial role in the football league, he signed a three-year contract. On 9 October 2023, he was sacked with the club citing the importance of the board of directors and management being fully aligned on the culture of the football club as the reason behind the decision. An impressive start to the season had seen the club sitting in sixth position with eighteen points from eleven matches. Some have pointed out that Eustace overachieved with Blues in the previous campaign, recoding their best Championship finish since 2016 although they had been tipped for relegation, but he kept them up with relative ease, and built a decent team despite so many off-field issues. He certainly started this season well and worked with many young players at Brum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristol red Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I can’t see the sporting quarter going ahead now.. likely that BS will be dissolved depending on incoming investment/buyout… either someone purchases the football club or rugby with the stadium and rents ground to the other. Can’t really see any alternatives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd need to win me around on his own merits and not look to take credit for the work Nige has done here. IF it is Eustace, in my mind there is always going to be the suspicion that he was part of the process that saw Nige kicked out of the door. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superjack Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 59 minutes ago, Top Robin said: I knew nothing about Eustace before, apart from the fact that his Birmingham team totally outplayed us twice and looked like a really well drilled unit. If you bother to read up on the bloke you may find some information which could make you think that he perhaps isn't that bad an appointment. Until he falls to get three points one day, and then you'll start on him too. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Not knocking eustace as what was available he would of been my pick , however it just goes to show Nige went because of a personality clash not poor results because no way would you in our position sack an established experienced manager for pretty much an untried rookie ( again not knocking eustace really hope he does well ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennieb Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) One thing with eustace he'll be wary of how f*****g fickle boards are .
