    3.5 year contract at £1.5 million a year, so around 5 million I suppose as a starting point for negotiation. Or BCFC may just send Arthur Shelby round to deal with it.

    Thoughts of buying Bird or Cashin receding....

    Makes you wonder how good Rooney was with us. He couldn't lose really. Had he been better maybe we would have stayed up after all.

    Indeed. Managerial career record is 153 games and a win ratio of about 26%. Half that for Brum (!) and just over that for us...also makes you wonder who our ‘nearly great escape’ was really down to given what’s happened since.

    Our initial escape was down to Weds having a points deduction, no excuse for that season, had the same squad as Cocu.

    Didn't we get within 4 pts of safety by end January? Should have done better after that but fell away.

    There is a view that Rosenior did most of the coaching. He seems gutted, shouldn't think the money is that big a deal for him, his reputation as a manager much more of a hit. It does take some doing to take a team from 6th to near the bottom of a league, reports say players couldn't understand what he wanted or indeed perhaps what he was saying?

    AS I said at the start of this thread, I hoped it would end in tears, this hiring managers on the basis of past glories and the guff about Rooney's Birmingham which the ****s in the media always write. Many good coaches out there who deserve the jobs that the likes of Rooney, Lampard and Gerard ahve had handed to them on a plate, purely due to their history as players.
