Sounds a bit pre planned

[Biggish Dave]

Not sure he's been sacked, he's supposed to be going to Rangers

[Casino]

is it brum who have american owners and that yank rugger player on the board?

[Johnnyrotten]

I don't think Eustace will struggle to get another job.  Had longish playing spells at Stoke, Watford and Derby, then 4 years at QPR as assistant manager.  Not hard to imagine all those 4 jobs coming up by Christmas if results don't improve and he's bound to be in the frame, along with Sheff Wed.  Warnock can't take them all!

Get used to that title.

It was well known that at Derby it was Liam Resenior who was the brains behind the pair

The latter is doing a good job at Hull where as the former can't cut it in the MSL

Probably plenty of granny prostitutes in Brum though

To be fair DC had loads of problems off the pitch as well as on it.

Sold their best player too.

He went in and tried to play decent football with a limited squad and just didnt work.

I think he will end up a decent manager tbh. Spent his whole career fighting fires so far.

But too many are aged in their early 30's for Wayne's taste. 

[burnden]

3.5 year contract at Brum for rooney.

Burnley have the immensely more likeable ex NFL player JJ Watt in their ownership group too.

He seems a lot more involved in things than Brady does at Brum.

From BBC News.

MK Dons have sacked head coach Graham Alexander after just 16 games in charge of the League Two club. The 52-year-old former Scotland international was appointed in May following last season's relegation. But the Dons have failed to win any of their last eight league games and are currently 16th

It's hard to believe they finished third in League One two years ago

Full of themselves are MK. Big fancy ground with zero genuine history. A new town/city now of a decent size but largely of people who support others.

One day it might all click but their support will always be brittle. No heritage.

[Whitesince63]

Didn’t MJ go to MKD?

He did. First half dozen games they saw him as God's gift. I think he got injured.

The only way they will survive is through other uses of the stadium and events in their arena.

Winkelman was naive to think that it’ll take a generation and by now all the local youth would be supporting them as their local club. He didn’t seem to take into account that MK is a majority of London overspill so most youth either support the team of their family history, or a glory hunters supporting one of the big clubs. Crowds have hardly changed in the 20 years they’ve been in existence and the stadium is absolutely soulless.

Reap what you sow.
