Unbelievable about Gary Rowett considering Birmingham's budget up until their recent new ownership. 7th in the league where it's normal for strikers to move for anything up to £12million, and he has barely spent a penny since he joined.

Now all of a sudden, because there's money available in Jan, he's sacked. Really poor from the owners.

Here's hoping Birmingham fall apart. Clearly the owners have had a sniff of the EPL fanny on the back of Rowatts hard work.

Expect a Paulo Di Canio type appointment there.

Rowett sacked for no reason, not that I have any love for Birmingham or that. But feel sorry for the guy, Birmingham were in freefall when he took over and they're only 3 points off 3rd spot, effing shambles. Much like the rest of that poisonous league I hope they all crash and burn

Gianfranco Zola set to take over.

Grauniad link

Also features some beautiful juxtaposition between the name of Birmingham's new owners, and the phrase "strategic, long-term view... with the club's best interests at heart".

Birmingham's new owner Trillion Trophy Asia Limited (TTAL) announced the decision to relieve Rowett of his duties had been taken "with a strategic, long-term view and with the club’s best interests at heart".

Zola right enough. If it had been Allardyce, they could possibly have made a case but for Zola? Ffs - and don't even like Birmingham

Malky Mackay to be announced as SFA's Performance Director tomorrow, apparently.

Difficult to believe that the SFA could be any more incompetent, but this is an appalling decision.
Why is it to difficult to believe?
:lol: I assumed that even the SFA weren't stupid enough to appoint a racist, sexist, homophobic arsehole in the high-profile role of leading the development of the game in Scotland.

An incredibly ill-judged appointment.
It's a strange one indeed. The SFA usually like to keep their bigotry low-key and behind closed doors.

If you leave aside his racist behaviour, I have absolutely no idea what he'll bring to the role at all. He's achieved the square root of eff all in youth football. He's achieved the square root of eff all at any level of football come to think of it :lol:

At least if (when) he's a disaster it should rule him out of contention for the Celtic job in the future :twitch:
He's been travelling around studying methods at various places throughout Europe and has obviously convinced the SFA he's the man for the job, at least that and his managerial experience are something.

Wouldn't have been my choice given his character and can't help but feel there's an element of the influence of his father too but it won't matter, the SFA won't change anything dramatic anyway regardless of who is appointed, what they bring to the job or the suggestions they make.

Press conference at 1pm for Malky MacKay, completely baffling on all levels.

Cardiff also trying to take him and 4 others to court for £10m due to a few questionable transfers.

I tend to agree with you on this (and most things) but is there a point where he can atone for his actions or does this stick with him forever? Genuine question, because effed if I know. :lol:
