Gianfranco Zola?....

How has this clown been able to get multiple jobs in the top 2 divisions?

2 wins in 6 months is an absolute disgrace, and the fact he's blaming it on not getting penalties tells me he's a delusional p**** into the bargain. You can blame the odd poor result on the ref but TWO WINS IN 20+ GAMES tells us your f****** useless, Gianfranco.

If he's not sacked at the end of the season then it's a miracle FFS,, and I wouldn't pay him a penny in compo either, that level of s*** will get you laughed out the building in any other line of work.

He was a world class player but will go down with the rest of the world class player's, turned manager that became unsuccessful.

Anyway looks like they are already looking to replace Zola, with this man..... Ivan Vukomanovic.

Feel sorry for Birmingham fans tbh, had a bright up and coming manager who has great tactical skills 6 months ago. they've ended up with a manager who doesn't realise he hasn't the players to play a slick one touch style of football. And their about to replace him with another no body.

Glad we got Rowett now, he seems to read the game very well, even when we're winning he's not afraid to change it up if he sees we're struggling, makes subs early on as oppose to caking himself and making them too late ala Mac. we've gone from having one style and that's that, to having 3 or 4 different options .

I think Zola did well at Watford didnt he, but hes really been found out at Brum and their sacking of Gary Rowett has proved to be one of the worst ever decisions in footy.
They will stay up but the fact that they have gone from about 6th, to 6 points above relegation shows how badly they have fallen.

It was a bizarre decision made by folks who know nowt about football, which seems to apply to a lot of owners and Boards these days!

It seems our owner may by a process of elimination arrived at the right solution!!

Zola. FFS its just like watching Zelda.

If he was around 125 years ago Alfred Dreyfuss would never have survived to fight at Verdun and Papillon may never have been made.

Birmingham City owners have made a statement today, that they are going to continue backing Zola after the weekends result against Derby.

Considering they are still fighting relegation, a decision to sack Zola now would be a bad move and they would rather wait till the end of the season, to make a drastic decision upon his future at the club.

Ohh the dreaded vote of confidence... that means your out in a months time Franco, so get used to it

As for weird sackings at this stage of the season, what on earth do Grimbsy hope to achieve by sacking their boss today ?

Selling your top striker to Wigan didn't help his cause and only the inevitable can help Grimsby now.
