Not much of a manager though Might be half decent as a number two but we have enough of those already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backroom Madon Posted February 8, 2024 Backroom Share Posted February 8, 2024 I am also hearing it's going to be Eustace. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J*B Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Just now, davulsukur said: Is this a nudge, nudge, wink, wink scenario that I'm too stupid to see? Not the clearest series of messages I agree. We’ve (BRFCS) been told by a strong, regular source and sense checked it that John Eustace has agreed to take over if/when JDT leaves. It wasn’t discussed in the meeting yesterday, it’s information subsequent to that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been Manager of Bradford City 3 times for example! Been at loads of clubs in various roles. Can't say I'd want him here particularly.

rog of the rovers Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 I thought Birmingham were terrific at Ewood when we played them in the league last season. Kaminski had his best game in a Rovers shirt as we won 2-1, but they were fantastic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polky Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Here’s hoping he does well. Just looking at Birmingham’s matches that he managed this season. At the start of the season they went four league games unbeaten (W - 3/D - 1). Then they went 5 games without a win (L - 3/D - 2), With his last two games being wins, putting them into the play offs. I remember at the time it was reported he was going to be sacked during the bad run and then they won those last two games. Sacked him anyway on the back of two wins and he left pretty much a hero.

Tyrone Shoelaces Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) Possibly Eustace is the best we could expect in the circumstances. Having said that it solves nothing. We need some battling performances from players who aren’t capable of it. Edited February 8, 2024 by Tyrone Shoelaces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpysharps86 Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 Eustace as good an appointment as any at this point. It won't be pretty at times but that's where we're at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atko's Engine Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) If it is Eustace then he should be welcomed as that's more positive than I feared. However it is not dealing with the main problem and I am sure his agent will ensure he has a severance clause in his contract stipulating that if Venkys so much as break one promise or lose their case in India, he is entitled to leave with a big pay off. I'd also insist on direct comms with the owners & a guarantee from them that if they lose their case in India they put the club up for sale at face value & write off any debt they have lumbered the club with so that we can move forward with a clean slate. That's the only way I'd be persuaded to come here if I were him. And I know it wouldn't happen.

TonyM Posted February 8, 2024 Share Posted February 8, 2024 (edited) Birmingham fans were v upset when Eustace got the push to make way for their "big name" manager and still are..... Edited February 8, 2024 by TonyM 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
