For anyone who is interested WR has left DC United by mutual consent.

He keeps getting linked with the Brum job, although their win against WBA on Friday night must give Eustace some breathing space.

Posted: **Sun Oct 08, 2023 12:19 pm**

There were one or two on here that put his name forward when we were looking to replace Sean Dyche

Done nothing to suggest he’d be a decent gaffer.

On twitter he's got job, with John oshea and ash Cole his new backroom staff.

could be their new owners have seen the level of players VK has been able to attract and are going to try the same thing, otherwise yeah, square root of nothing to suggest he's better than Eustace at this point. It could hugely backfire on their new owners if it all goes tits up (which I think it will)

Did even better at the Derby and Joan club. Allegedly.

I see that Birmingham have potted Eustace, to make way for Rooney I presume.

The next Birmingham manager the best kept secret in football

Unlucky Eustace. 6th in league with minimum spend. Not a name. Just a manager doing his stuff.

Hope the wheels come off for the Yanks. Will be just desserts.

Posted: **Mon Oct 09, 2023 12:24 pm**

Absolutely ridiculous replacing Eustace with a manger who has a 28% win percentage, purely due to who he is.

Same at Rangers if they appoint Lampard.

Posted: **Mon Oct 09, 2023 12:35 pm**

I wouldn’t be surprised if Eustace ends up at Rangers.

He's favourite for the job and he's done a good job at Birmingham

Posted: **Mon Oct 09, 2023 1:41 pm**

Birmingham should have hung on a day or 2 they might have got money for him instead of paying him to go

Posted: **Mon Oct 09, 2023 2:51 pm**

Eustace seemed to do a good job at Brum. Steadied the ship when they were a bit of a mess of the field and made a good start this season.

Posted: **Wed Oct 11, 2023 6:01 pm**

Rooney appointed. Shame for the old manager, probably made their best start to a season for quite a while. I can see this backfiring.

They want a 'no fear' policy for all of their teams. Watch the goals fly in the wrong end

Going well. Also has Wayne got 6 coats on ? To many burgers methinks.

Clueless owners appoint clueless man,what did they expect?

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 11:30 am**

You'd have thought they'd have learned,rinse and repeat.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 11:41 am**

Looks like we have some of the better US owners around. Thank god they are not at our club. They unveiled him promising no fear attacking football and he plainly didn't have the players for that. Eustace knew this and got the best out of what he had. Whatever you think of Rooney as a manager that was never going to work.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 12:57 pm**

Brum were 5th in the Championship when they made the ridiculous decision to sack Eustace in October.
Dropped like a stone ever since.

Barmpot goings on there.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:04 pm**

Rooney is a busted flush. Whilst we’re at it so is Gerrard.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:17 pm**

Probably announce Joey Barton next

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:18 pm**

Inevitable. I wonder what criteria they used to sack Eustace and appoint Rooney - other than his reputation as a player.

Easy to say serves them right - but it serves them right! Idiot owners.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:22 pm**

Everyone said at the time what an incredible decision it was to sack Eustace and appoint Rooney. Seemingly everyone with an interest in football could see what would happen apart from the owners. Thick as mince.

I wouldn’t mind, but the very same club did the same a few years ago in sacking Gary Rowett and replacing him with Zola. I feel sorry for their fans.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:23 pm**

No surprise Garry Cook was involved in all this.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 1:27 pm**

Might have to be Saudi Arabia for Rooney if he wants to carry on in management. Never know he might be able to get Stevie G's job.

Posted: **Tue Jan 02, 2024 2:38 pm**

There was a period during Derby's relegation season when Rooney seemed to be doing a pretty good job. I wanted them down but I followed their results and he even had the loosest of cannons, Ravel Morrison, actually playing regular football.

However, this appointment was just plain wrong. It was a rich man's Watford-Dyche-Zola.

if they had any sense they'd go all out for Cooper

Rooney will take the opportunity to spend some time with other people's families.

Why? 2 year contract.. shown the door after 6 months.. Quids in!!

Football management is a licence to print money.

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2024 4:47 am**

very similar to when Zola was in charge there great players don't always make great managers, you would think the owners would have learned there lesson but obviously not ..

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2024 5:55 am**

Wayne is obviously the big name that owners want but his "success " achieved at Derby was probably down to Rosenior who is now doing OK at Hull and looks like Burnley are keeping sweet.

Posted: **Wed Jan 03, 2024 7:35 am**

They were probably hoping for a Vincent Kompany style impact, however as people they are chalk and cheese.

Cabinet ministers have a decent record of screwing up one department then moving onto another and proceeding to screw that up as well.
