We've now become what I used to hate... a sacking club. You could always rely on blues to stick by their manager and give them time. We're now about to get our fourth manager in a year... |

Joke to sack a failing manager? Not for me, right decision. |

At least he's made some useful signings unlike Zola. We need one of those hairy ar5ed Northern managers now like Big Sam, Warnock who will just do the damn job. Or a good young British manager but I don't think there's many. |

We gave chance after chance to Lee Clarke, so the idea of a 'sacking club' is irrelevant because you have to do what's best for business. Chris Sutton tweeted his shock by saying 'no time to build anymore'...but nothing was being built! At least under Zola, despite how bad it was, we played good football - that is progress, NOT what's going on with HR. |

No we have to hire a manager that can't speak English. Just like all the premier league. |

Blues are now exactly like villa a club that's rotten to the core. We won't be going anywhere fast unless that's down to league one. |

I keep saying this, this club is going nowhere until the current owners are gone, the only way this club is ever going to move forward is with new owners who know and understand football, who have the money to invest in the team when needed, and who have a long term plan. These owners are clueless, they have one short term plan, get the club into the premiership and sell. The big problem with that is they have no plan on how to achieve that target. You can't do that by swooping managers every six months, sadly IMHO this will not change under these faceless wonders HR should have had more time end of. Thank you Mr Sullivan and Gold for leaving this mess, I have never forgotten your promises of never leaving this club in the hands of someone who could not look after it, yet you knowingly did. Thanks |

I wouldn't hire any manager stupid enough to want to be Birmingham City's manager. |

How many games did you go too under Zola? That's a little unfair, I thought we were devoid of everything under him, we couldn't pass, create, nothing, the players he did bring in are where now? We all see things differently, we can all go the same game and give a very different view on what we have watched, but can't agree with what you are saying about Zola. |

There were no redeeming factors from Zola's tenure. The football was awful, naïve, gutless nonsense and we lost every week. |

We aren't privy to what's happened behind the scenes or what were the terms of Harry's contract. Perhaps the league position after eight games could trigger an exit. From what we can see above the surface it seems a little premature but maybe waiting like with Zola was too risky Edited by beegeeblueboy, Sep 17 2017, 03:44 PM.

Sorry, but when did we ever play good football under GZ? Name we one game where you can honestly say, we played really well/played them off the park/had more possession/passing % etc Football under Zola was a joke, people slated 'Rowett Football' but that was more watchable than anything Zola produced in his time here. |

I don't defend Zola and the whole thing was a total failure, however his first game against Brighton we played some great stuff and for 80min were the better side, sadly we fell apart in the last 5min |

Spot on. It's the owners who are the joke offering no stability, no thought in strategic decisions and dare I say not too much interest in football. Rowett, why was he sacked? it made us a laughing-stock. Zola, why was he appointed? it made us a bigger laughing-stock. And now Harry, why was he sacked just 7 days and 3 games of starting a new era with 13 new signings.? Why? We will be a nothing club until all connections with the Far East are severed and that means current owners and potential new owners. We need reputable, respected and stable owners probably from the UK or Europe. Let's not fantasise about a Russian oligarch or an Emirates oil magnate but let's look at Stoke, WBA and Soton over the past ten years. We need proper owners.

And continued for 20 odd games thereafter. Zola was without doubt THE worst manager we've ever had and I include the likes of Mackay and Bond in that. |

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: The problem though is that finding the right sort of owner is now almost impossible and I really fear for clubs like the Blues, the history and tradition of English footballl clubs is being ripped apart by faceless foreign businessman who a) have no idea how to run a football club and b) couldnt give a toss anyway - those two reasons on their own are sufficient enough to ensure that ultimately there is little chance of stability, success or any long term vision. |

The other, even bigger problem, is that traditionally Chinese businessmen only sell to other Chinese businessmen. It may take something huge to wrestle our club back from the clutches of far east owners. |
