No not us but

Birmingham City & Wayne Rooney

He's been in charge for 5 matches (well 5th today and losing at Sunderland) with an outstanding record of

4 Defeats & 1 Draw = Total points of 1 from 15

Who says change is a good thing?

He’s there because of his name.
Why oh why do gormless owners think top players make top managers, two totally different roles.

might help if these top players learned their trade at national league north or south level before they get managerial jobs much higher because of a name only. its harder of a good ex player having patiance with those of a much lesser ability though at any level. if being a manager is there thing its something they need to rid themselves of straight off.

The frustrating thing for Blues supporters is that John Eustace had won his 2 previous games before being sacked and the club were in 5th/6th position in the table.

As people say, big billy bollocks Rooney has completely buggered up the side and they are now closer to the relegation spots. Obviously "owners" with shit for brains!

Correctomondo.

Bobby Charlton bless his soul was rubbish at it, and heads a long list of others who were crap.

That list would include former Pools managers Bobby Moncur and Mick Docherty.

I thought Docherty would forever be our worst manager of all time - despite having the same genes as his illustrious father - but the likes of Hartley and Curle proved me wrong, and then some..!!!

Aye, another one who didn't have what management takes.

At the other end of the spectrum, you have the likes of Lawrie McMenemy - who was a pretty decent manager despite having never played any league football.

It's a funny old game...
