WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Now not starting this as a "he wants to come here" thread, more a thread in terms of what do people think of him? He seems to have done fairly well getting Birmingham back to a reasonable position in the Championship before his sacking, although doesnt have a great win percentage there. I'll admit I dont know a great deal about him but have seen Rangers fans on social media wanting him in charge. Has also allegedly made himself available to us http://www.footballinsider247.com/highly-rated-42-year-old-made-rangers-board-aware-interest-manager-job-report/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterD 7,442 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Short term I'd rather have him than McLeish. I'd prefer we found a long term replacement now though rather than wait until the summer. We'll either have Euro games or League cup games early on which means little pre-season time for a new manager to come in during the summer and see what's what and who he thinks he can keep and get rid of.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 He's not greatly experienced, but he's done a good job everywhere he's been. His assistant is very experienced and fairly respected as well, which is always a bonus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears r us 30,907 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I do not know much about him, but not fantastic career results as a manager: Burton Albion 2012 - 2014 W 62 D 34 L 45 - Win % 43.97 (Total games 141) Birmingham City 2014 - 2016 W 42 D 32 L 32 - Win % 39.62 (Total games 106) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamMunny 3,257 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 DK mentioned inexperienced manager when referring to MW and saying it was a risk that didn't pay off. No way will we go down the same road with Rowett Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He compared his teams to Atletico/Leicester. They defend well and hit on the counter. Usually opts for a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was because I did not know much about him that made me have a wee search and realised they were not great. I would be surprised if we go for him but you never know.

llgersll 6 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 NO. Anybody who has watched his Birmingham side will see lots of running/effort but no flair in the performances. Last season started well then they tired, had run of of 10 games approx without win and dropped down the table, this season the performances were same. Brum fans were split over Rowett, but they preferred him to Zola. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEPPS BOY 74,692 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 A manager so to speak.. IMO we'll go the DOF route therefore we'll be looking for a head coach. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brackley Bluenose 4,479 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I'd take Rowett in a heartbeat over any of the other names being touted other than FDB. Very impressive at a provincial club like Burton and I know the Birmingham fans are furious still that he was sacked. They've won once in 11 games under Zola since. Heard he does a belting rendition of the sash as well. Rowett Loyal ?⚪️? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that for me is something that is being hugely overlooked. Sure we have to go with the current squad but any new long term manager has a very short window to get the players training/playing to his ethos. The season ends what the end of May then starts again the end of June. One good thing means we shouldnt be involved in the league cup early on as happened with euro qualifiers this season. Part of me thinks even if we ave an "interim" boss he will have a good shout of being long term. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I'm glad there are other candidates outwith the usual suspects interested in the job. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
