Unfortunately I see this being seen to be very similar to when we sacked Gary Rowett, and then Zola took charge.

I have no personal issues with Wayne Rooney, but as a Manager Eustace has shown himself to be a far better Manager imo.

Hopefully Rangers will get him (Eustace) LT.

I have to hope that Rooney can prove me wrong.

Unfortunately I do have a bad feeling though that it's not going to work out.

I have little liking for Rooney.
However I do hope he'll be able to bring success to the club.

So like you I hope you, he'll prove me wrong too.
I'll be over the moon if he does.

Looks like Rooney’s grandad was a miner in the gold rush

Birmingham City have appointed Wayne Rooney as their new manager.

The 37-year-old former England captain has joined the Championship club on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

There will be riots if he fails now after they’ve sacked a successful manager who was liked by the fans and had the team ons point off a play off place .
Plus they’d just beat their big rivals a few days ago

Hmm, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Things were going rather well this season.
Already better than I'd even hoped for.

If he does build on this position however I'll be very happy and give him credit for it.

I've just so many reservations re.Rooney.

Come on Blues!

I am trying to be optimistic that Rooney can get something going here, he has admitted to making mistakes early on, which I remember managers like Karanka and Bowyer being really stubborn about their mistakes and doubling down on them, so I hope that Rooney is genuinely learning.

Come on, we can do this, it's only a team that's just been relegated from the Premier League, it's no big deal.

But seriously we're good enough on our day to beat everyone bar Leicester in the Championship, that much I'm confident on.

Well done Leicester

It's depressing.
I expected nothing different to this result today.

Really depressing.

It's clearly what the owners want.

I'm sure they'll hire Courtney Act before hiring a talented Manager going by their first pick under the new ownership.

Well done.

Tbh I'm on a high after we made Leicester scrap for a win.

Although the Referee got a little bit biased towards Leicester in the second half, they were getting away with diving and a potential leg breaker from the one Leicester player on Buchanan.

The only thing still wrong with Blues in the match was our defense for the first goal, I've honestly seen better defending in Basketball than from Blues in that particular moment.

I wonder if the board will finally see sense and sack Rooney, or will the American owners try to "educate" us on why we're "wrong" as a fanbase to not back their "vision" and how Rooney is a "great Manager really," who is going to eventually play "possession based Football" (even though Eustace with the same group of players was getting them to have higher possession stats) because if they choose the latter (which let's face it, we're talking about Americans in a business setting) those types in general can't pass up an opportunity to patronize and "educate" people, but if they choose to do that instead of sacking Rooney after repeatedly defending like a Conference team, then the club will deserve relegation, and I am deadly serious about that.

If Tom Brady and Tom Wagner aren't even going to try and make this club be decent, then why should anybody else care what happens? I mean a lot of Blues fans have repeatedly given them advice, but like the stereotype around modern American businessman mindset, they're letting their ego get the better of them.

And no it's not Xenophobia, just look at Disney to see the Americans stubbornness and egotistical opinions when it comes to business, and how they handle criticism, Wagner & Brady are currently operating in a similar way.

I looked at the score after 35 minutes and just groaned.
Whatever Rooney's plan is, that is if he even has one or can devise one.
It's NOT working at all for goodness sake.
Get rid of him PLEASE.

He is good at attacking/goalscoring, but tactically he cancels out the midfield and defense to achieve goals, which is why we're conceding so many goals.

In particular no Football team can operate at a decent level with no real midfield, because Rooney is piling too much pressure on the defense to essentially do both roles which is impossible.

Rooney seriously needs to master the arts of midfield and defense, because he is making ours look worse than they actually are.

And I agree with you that he needs to go, a good Manager plays to the players strength, not what the Manager's "philosophy" is (which sounds so pretentious when I hear people saying it like that) and the only time Rooney has played to the players strength was when we played Cardiff.

Seriously hope we spend some money and manage to make a few decent transfers in January, otherwise it’s just another dull season in League One for the 4th time.
