Only a caretaker in fairness. Probably while they’re working on the package to tempt Bruce Rioch permanently.

Blow for Notts - hopefully they can find a manager who plays a similar style. Their football is great to watch.

Lawrence has been with 'pools since November 2022 as a non-exec director advising on footballing matters. Knows the club and the players. However he is well into his 70s IIRC.

Big upgrade on Rooney. But then...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Blues fans getting a bit giddy about Mowbray's "great track record".

1 promotion from the Championship, 16 years ago, with a team he should have taken up a year earlier.

I mean he's better than Rooney but steady on.

 

[Tony Towner]

His reputation for attractive football is overblown too. Can be Hoddlesque with possession for possessions sake. He's a competent Championship manager, but they arguably had one of those 3 months ago.

A PE Teacher would be an upgrade on Rooney. Do we know of one?

 

[Alan]

It was always a bizarre move to get Rooney. Anyone who saw his DC teams should have been able to see that he is Pulis-lite at absolute best.

Rooney was never about managerial ability.

 

[Alan]

Rooney was never about managerial ability.

Considering they’ve sacked him I’d say it was a little bit about managerial ability.

But you’re right that they took the gamble on the name first.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

upon appointment it was nothing to do with ability. Upon sacking it was a LOT to do with ability!

 

[Squeak]

They're probably scanning the Epstein list for their next candidate such is the shit show over there.

Shown the red card after 14 mins today

Birmingham confirm Tony Mowbray as new boss

 

[Kenny]

Its a safe bet and levels off the insanity of employing Rooney.

Very much like when Fosun employed Lambert.

Acknowledged they went crazy in employing someone who wasn't good enough, seeing relegation could actually happen and going for an unexciting manager.

Now expect their version of Nuno to arrive in May
