#PremierLeague - Sport
As a stalwart BLUENOSE of over 45 years, it is both shocking and disappointing how my beloved club has treated John Eustace! He has done an excellent job!!! WHILST i can appreciate and respect (to some degree) the ambition of the new owners, including Tom Brady; the truth is that this has happened twice before.
Firstly Steve Bruce (and coach Jason Bowen) - three solid years in the Premier league finishing in very good positions consecutively. Respectfully, Mark Bowen leaves to work with Mark Hughes and Eric Black is brought in to play a more expansive style of football - we were relegated that season!
And secondly, Gary Rowett is sacked after a win so as Gianfranco Zola (a superb player and generational genius) replaces him immediately - at a time when we were 7th. We won 2 games out of 22 matches and were nearly relegated, finishing 21st.
IN SHORT, NO LESSONS LEARNED. But i do hope that Wayne Rooney proves us wrong but his record in terms of coaching/management style do not pull up any trees.
BLUES should never mistreat 'good' managers as they have been few and far between at BCFC in the last two decades.
Mark Bowen
I dispute Eustace is a good manager, he’s mediocre at best. Numerous winless runs last season & another 6 games this season, usually against other struggling teams: namely QPR, Watford & Norwich who were all in poor form until they played us. He comes across in his post match interviews as one dimensional & vision less; questionable team selections & bemusing tactics aren’t glossed over by two home wins. Perhaps if you combine all this you’ll see why the board had little faith in Eustace taking us forward. & why are you comparing Rooney to Bruce or Rowett? Are they clones of each other? They all failed for different reasons. Let’s also remember Bruce is one of the most successful in getting teams promoted. & if Rowett is such a genius how come he’s not achieved a single promotion since he left us? We’ve an ambitious board full of winners, I suspect they want a manger who shares their view & Eustace never echoed those sentiments. For better or worse everyone’s now talking about our club, before we hardly got acknowledged.
Spot on.
@@davidfield7810thank you. I did mean Mark Bowen 👍
@@Korvintage64I don’t recall saying Bruce was a poor manager for Blues. I was simply stating that the Board (and some fans) demanded more expansive football hence Black was brought in. Bruce achieved success with BCFC…I was at the Milennium stadium when we beat Norwich in the playoff finals 😊
Finishing between 9th and 13th in three seasons in the Prem was definitely success with the limited resources we had.
And whilst Rowett may not have been elite, he certainly did better than Zola in his time at Blues. Fact!
But you’ve missed my point altogether, if you become a club that changes Managers (when in 6th) for an unproven manager then not so fantastic as an attractive beacon for future candidates. Rooney was and is a great player and legend however he has achieved nothing as a football manager/coach??
As I said I respect the owners ambition but don’t become a Watford, changing managers many times for no end result.
Was Matterface calling out Eustace when were on losing streaks last season? Did he say anything about the winless streak we were on just three matches ago, 5 in the league 6 in total, that had plummeted my team down the league to 14th? Was Matterface in daily contact with Eustace like Cook had been? How many of Eustace's awful, clueless post match interviews has Matterface seen let alone commented on? Little wonder the board lost faith in Eustace. Has Matterface ever said much about Birmingham City until this managerial change? He's just another no mark jumping on the social media bandwagon, fishing for likes, with barely any knowledge of what's gone before, criticising because of the optics not the substance. Matterface would be better served improving his mediocre commentary skills, rather than passing comment on a board that are trying to turn around a club that has suffered decades of neglect!
The guys a 🛎️ end
He can both accept that the owners are trying to turn things around and be critical of how they are attempting to do it. These things aren't mutually exclusive? Like a lot of fans looking in it doesn't make a lot of sense to sack a manager who has just won 2 games on bounce and replace him with a coach who has a very mixed record. Not to mention that under a lot of other managers Blues would have gone down last season. "Clueless post match interviews"? Christ, is that really the best you can do to justify this?
@@willmunny9279 not sure comprehension is your strong point. Also you say Rooney has very mixed record? He’s not be in management that long. He saved Derby from relegation having only been there 4 months & next season the club were deducted 21 points, so highly unlikely any manager be it Pep, Klopp or Fergie would have prevented the drop. He was a football manager not a miracle worker. I mentioned the winless runs of last season & this; the fact Eustace essentially showed little conviction or vision of how to correct things in any of his post match interviews. If his conduct & presentations were equally inept at internal meetings little wonder the new consortium, (that contain very professional, high achievers in major public companies & a sporting legend like Tom Brady), were unconvinced he could take the club forward. No doubt others within the club, who’ve been around for some time eg. Craig Gardener, would have also been consulted. You think Eustace should have been retained because he won two consecutive matches at home, whereas we’ve all seen plenty of other managers fired for 6 winless results & a steep drop down the league; I suspect his fate was sealed back then & deservedly so. Discussions were probably already initiated with Rooney & those two victories came too late to put the genie back in the bottle. It was a ruthless decision, but most managerial changes are & football is a very ruthless business. Matterface has worked long enough in the game to be fully aware of this, so his public bleating is a wet, weak & typically soaked in BBC hard done by sentimentality. It should also be remembered that most football managerial changes also ultimately end in failure. I hope Rooney, who wouldn’t necessarily have been my first choice, has an outstanding successful season & proves the 90% that have criticised his appointment wrong.
@@Korvintage64 Harsh, but true. And don't forget the disaster that was Harry Redknapp! If memory serves, he was paid £500K to keep Birmingham up, did so and had a disastrous season following so there are no guarantees. You're right: Sentimentality is all well and good but it gets us nowhere. It is always the sourest tasting medicines that work best, maybe, just maybe we should give this lot a try... 🤷🏾♂🤷🏾♂
Back the board. Best board ever. Thanks Tom Wagner, Tom Brady & co. 💙.
Getting rid of Eustace in such a fashion leaves a sour taste.
To all the Brummie grannies, lock your doors.
At least by coming back to the UK Wayno won't have the language barrier problem he had in America. :)
How many times have you heard fans say they don't mind losing as long as they are playing attractive football, which is complete rubbish, because when they play nice football and lose the same fans are moaning, saying they play good football and still lose.😂
Football is a results business. Nobody had Brum finishing anywhere near the playoffs and Eustace has done a fantastic job. Harsh on JE and pressure on Rooney now
Garry is the best at what he does... look at his track record, Nike, City, UFC... Arguably took the last 2 global! Good luck to Birmingham!
This the same situation as when Garry cook sacked Mark Hughes 1 day before a game and left him in charge for the game, every ody one he was going then sacked him and 2 hours later Mancini is the manager of man city and they win da cup that season and prem year after!!! The guy is ruthless
History won't repeat itself
@@lewisclarke5240 why not ? That's a good thing look how it worked out for city!! Might not mean u win the league but promotion is obtainable
@@craigpartytime298 Because Rooney isn't Mancini? One of them won the Scudetto multiple times and one of them was recently sacked by DC United...
@@willmunny9279 did Mancini start off winning titles or did he build up to it? What had Eustace done of any real note before he joined the Blues? & you can hardly criticise Cook, got rid of Hughes & appointed a manger than won City the league, or in your book should he have just held on to Hughes so to be thought as a nice guy?
@Korvintage64 But Man City didn't hire Mancini at the start of his career so your point is utterly irrelevant. They hired a proven coach who had been successful at the highest level. And I wasn't criticising Cook for hiring Mancini? Were you responding to my post or someone else?
Very silly appointment. Rooney will fail. He was over rated as a player, a man and as a manager. Good luck to Birmingham. They will need it.
Before all the hard of thinking Manchester United militants get on, look at his England career. He scored a lot of goals against third rate and worse teams but when it counts in tournaments he did nothing.
@andrewroberts4736.........Wow! Thanks so much for your refreshingly honest and inciteful comment! I am a life-long Man Utd fan and firmly believe that Rooney has to be one of the most over-rated players in football history.
Yes, some of the things he did were exceptional, and you can't really fault his work rate and endeavour. But FFS, his 'first-touch' was woeful. His passing [even short passes] was shocking and the number of times he lost possession, committed needless fouls [that often cost us goals] is a joke.
As a manager [and as a person] he leaves a lot to be desired and it will be interesting to see how things go for him at B'ham City. But it never ceases to amaze me how Rooney got so much praise as a player when in truth he was often as bad as he was good.
I don’t get why Birmingham owners think Rooney is a good manager 😂
Luckily it's them choosing and not you
Sorry Sam but where was this energy when the club was been ran poorly mind blowing 🤯
If things don't work out, I can recommend another Man United legend - the one and only Mr Bruce.
Birmingham Legend already Bruce
This wouldn't of happend on bassinis watch
Crook and matterface absolute imposters. Defo bullied as kids.
TalkSPORT. Job creation scheme.
You have just said exactly what I was thinking. Disrespectful to John Eustace and the fans. We are not stupid. All that glisters is not gold.
Same bloke who was found to have been mean about Nedum's mum. Why are these people still in the jobs they are in?
Worked really well last time they sacked a competent Manager (Rowett) and appointed a 'big 'name' (Zola).
Rooney doesn't deserve the Birmingham job based on his track record and i dont see him doing very well.
Lock up your gran!
This aged like fine wine 😂😂 Who's here after blues got relegated? LOL
Do these clowns not realise that before the latest 2 wins we'd gone 5 without a win, losing 3 on the bounce away and drawing 2 dour home games against Millwall and QPR?? Eustace did an OK job, we were never going to get promoted with his defensive style. We still might not but at least we're going to have a real go.
Why should Blues be promoted at all this season? And if you hadn't noticed under Eustace you were IN THE PLAYOFF places. Blues defending the club beyond reason. Talking the same shite as when Rowett got sacked.
Good footballer but I don't think he'll ever be a good manager, good luck Birmingham I think you'll need it.
yeah Birmingham the new Derby coaching steppingstone
Is Rooney the answer to any clubs coaching problem what in his CV as a manager says his that guy ????
Someone remind Danny that Rooney would’ve taken derby down his first season if us Owls hadn’t of got 12 points deducted.
But he didn't
Woulda shoulda coulda
@@matt92550 but he would have, man is out here saying he done a phenomenal job😂 he done a shite job should’ve been relegated his first year, relegated his 2nd😭😭😭
If you can’t name a player on our squad or what we’re aiming for you probably shouldn’t be talking about us.
Why is nobody talking about the players here? What are they going to think when they've got the club into its best position for years but now have to adapt to another coach with different methods? When was the last time an unproven big name was a success in the Championship?
How has this horrible American “fanbase” phrase crept into our game
We had a mans manager. came in, righted the ship, pointed us in the right direction, got us in contention, got the sack. jeez where have we heard that before.
This appointment has disaster written all over it - 😂
It's Zola part 2 🙄
As viler you'd know all about failure, disaster & disappointment eh? From the poaching of McLeish & mocking the Blues over it (what a stroke of genius that turned out to be eh?), spending millions on players then getting relegated, appointing serial failure Stevie G, al the while still living off the back of the glories of the 1980s..... Who were the last West Midlands club to win a trophy? Sometimes it better to remain silent & thought a fool than open your mouth, or type on social media, & remove all doubt.
@@Korvintage64Absolutely quality.😂😂😂
Rooney will do well
You said it.
His first game as manager will be vs Carricks Boro......
Welcome to America.
I dont think the owners understand football, but they will learn quickly 😂
Well…. This aged well 😬
Small heath/digbeth finna go crazy
Roooooooooooney! Back the board 💙.
The “ golden generation “ in terms of football.. individually fantastic players.
In terms of management, they are all absolutely horrendous. Carrick has done well though.
I think you might have a point dude
This is an experiment
Blues owners could have appointed an experienced manager but they chose a brand
Typical
Well, as cruel as it sounds, I hope Rooney fails big time. He did not deserve the job and has done nothing to prove he's capable of managing even at that level. He couldn't even do it in the msl, winning what, 26 % of his matches. Yes, derby had massive issues and did okay. But stupid new owners just doing what the one before did, sacking the manager while in that play offs and appointing Zola again a great player who was a terrible manager, like Gerrard, like Lampard. Yes, Gerrard one something in the crappy, low level stand of Scottish football. He still trash with no man management skills.
Danny’s back is hurting from having to carry these two
LITERALLY only reason I watched it today
Sam's not happy with you Gary, are you worried, no
This is hilarious. A totally dud coach with shocking win %. Those who own and run Birmingham FC clearly are clueless about this sport. It is almost inevitable that this project will fail to the great amusement of many and justice for bad treatment of a young coach.
Those running the club are not clueless...soppose your a yank Tom Brady is useless eh ,google Tom Wagner go on have a look
@@markwalker2627 Tom Brady knows nowt about soccer. Rooney will be sacked in less than nine months.
@original.dwornboy come back in nine months then...you obviously dont understand FOOTBALL. Tom Brady is not going to coach the team you plank🤪 The club want to enhance the club as a brand. Taylor Swift is dating some American sportsman I hear...look at his teams exposure. There is more to this if you dig deeper
It's funny how everyone has an opinion on us now, they don't normally even mention blues, let's see what happens eh
Bye from the Chamionship Birmingham…. To the fans, not that it’s me/my fault but, sorry for your coming troubles
The idea of managing how he plays is tbe most comical back your mate nonsense by Danny
Manager? He's not even a decent coach...
Villa will be only Club from Birmingham in premier League next season
Better away form n keep ball Garry n gary are blue cook n gardner..TRUE BLUE KRO
When is Matterface - who no doubt calls himself a journalist - going to learn the difference between bought and brought? It's not good enough. He gets a lot wrong, but it's live, off the cuff, so allowances can be made. But to keep saying things like 'Grealish has been bought down in the box' is unacceptable. Is he saying that Grealish has taken money to dive? He is. Does he mean that? I don't think so. I hope not. So he should say 'brought down in the box'. This is important
Dc united got fucked no compensation needed, I think it’s shady from Birmingham
Ooh no Sam matterface is angry. Ooooh
Wayne Rooney average player
Wayne Rooney CRAP manager
Jesus Christ if granny shaggers not bad enough they’ve brought O’Shea and Ashley Cole in disaster for the Birmingham feel sorry for the fans
Who do you support..?
So many haters already, up the blues
Don't worry. Tom Brady will step in.
How has Matterface got a job in the media
People who don't agree with you = shouldn't have a job? Fark off mate
@@ucdeBZ what are you on about
Is there sum old foxy granny's thate
Rooney will do a good job
Sam is so annoying, everytime he comes on most logoff. Loves the sound of his own voice
Would Matterface being saying this if Lampard had got the job?
Yes.
Gone by Xmas 7 goals in 2 games ain’t attacking at all 😂 next 5 games he’s bang in trouble well done cook and co you’ve just fucked this season right up 👏👏
How many goals & games won before those two wins? None in 6 & we dropped down to 14th place in the league. We lost to Watford & Norwich who were on losing steaks themselves, 3-1 at home to Cardiff & drew with the league’s then whipping boys QPR. Eustace had hardly covered himself or the club in glory.
Yeah and 14 wins in 53 in a mini mouse in which QPR would do rather well in is definitely an improvement
Absolutely shocking decision. We all know what is going to happen, Rooney will start losing games, he will lose the dressing room, lose the fans and the whole thing will end in tears! The fans don't deserve it but the board certainly do. Meanwhile we'll all enjoy watching the car crash! 🙄
Danny Murphy chats pure waffle
Murphy is boring and dull get him off talksport and BBC
Never feed a gizmo after midnight! Also never listen to this numpty for a balance view 👍😂
As a birmingham fan i have 1 thing to say...........your boring me now...next 5 games, 3 are live on sky...sit back and watch
