I had some idiot tell me last week I was jealous of them, then not satisfied with that started comparing Birmingham to London for some reason (I don’t live in London).
This will go down as one of the worst all time championship sackings/next appointment.

Rooney appointment was daft, Eustace sacking wasn’t outrageous, it’s really glazed over by everyone but Blackburn weren’t in a relegation battle last year until Eustace took over then they stayed up because of Leicester players being steaming drunk all week after winning the league.

Someone please take these fuckers back, fed up of them in league one. Worst fans we’ve ever seen down here.

Best owners in the country iirc

Don’t forget, Eustace had been given some funds in the summer to bring in players to fit the system he wanted to play. He had that, and Rooney inherited a squad that couldn’t play the way HE wanted, and he kept chucking them and the fans under the bus. He was a disaster for us and honestly I’m kinda surprised to see him doing relatively well at Plymouth. Hopefully if nothing else he’s learned not to bulldoze his way through a fanbase.
Counting caretakers, we’ve had six managers since John Eustace. I like to think we’ll be back next season, but so did Charlton, and Bolton, and Portsmouth, and Barnsley, and Blackpool, and Wigan…

He’s doing a pretty good job at Blackburn rovers

It was a preposterous decision. It showcased the reckless stupidity and colossal miscalculations our new owners were capable of.
You’d hope they learned their lesson, but I fully expect them to showcase it again one day. A lot of football club owners, and I fully include ours in this if you can’t tell, just have that sort of hubris about them which makes them think they know better than all conventional wisdom.
