I don’t think Eustace will be out of work for long.

I wonder if the blues new owners think that appointing big names to get success is the right way to go about business, then they may have a big shock
Disgraceful decision to sack Eustace

Madness, great news. You'd be worried if you were a Birmingham fan.

Absolutely awful club management. Let’s shoehorn in a man with piss poor management record.

Birmingham are in the play-offs as things currently stand, which has been something of a rarity for them in recent years. Eustace has done a good job with them. The owners are bonkers.

If we beat a local rival to land a top six place I'd want Robins out so I'm all for this.

Club Statement: John Eustace​


It is essential that the Board of Directors and the football management are fully aligned on the importance of implementing a winning mentality and a culture of ambition across the entire Football Club.​

With this in mind, Birmingham City has today parted company with Head Coach, John Eustace.



No pressure Wayne. This will be Watford MKII over the next few years.

Ridiculous. Still, nice to see them implode as they were going quite well.

Crazy decision, they are top 6 and they sack the manager, mental.

Rooney incoming, and I expect Eustace to be at QPR in the very near future.

He can do better than them I think, won’t be short of offers if he waits a bit.

Sounded nailed on when the rumours started yesterday, but still absolutely bonkers. As we know from past experience, getting rid of someone who's doing fine just because a bigger name is available is a disaster waiting to happen, and I'll wager they'll be finding that out before long.

Mid to end of October. sacking season in the championship after this I expect QPR, Southampton, Watford & Stoke bosses all to be looking over their shoulders.

Curious as to whether ‘tapping up’ regulations apply between different FAs.

Ainsworth at QPR would make total sense. How he’s still there must be a wind up from club owners.

This is just downright lunacy though.

"Want to instill a winning mentality"

John Eustace managerial win rate: 45.09%

Wayne Rooney win rate: 27.05%

Yeah, ok then....

Rooney should be embarrassed taking the job under these circumstances.
Actually feel sorry for blues fans, twice this has happened to them now.

Has to be about money, media attention, investment. What else? I’m sure there’s a clown somewhere on here endorsing Rooney as a manager.

Always liked eustace when he was with us . A couple of nasty injuries in his career and having the misfortune of playing in the same position as a selfish past it mac allister, who obviously felt threatened by his younger fitter counter part.
Good luck to him,.was a good player and a more than capable manager
Next stop QPR.

Is Eustace a Blues or Villa fan? I know he's a birmingham lad

I wonder if it's anything to do with the Tom Brady investment. Maybe he knows Rooney?

Completely wrong time at Coventry of course, but if it was different circumstances I'd quite like to see Eustace here.

Pretty sure he's a Villa fan from what I've heard.

Good player especially when he burst on the scene but that was mostly raw talent, He was hardly a clean cut, model professional and he is taking along Ashley 'Shagger' Cole with him


some good Wazza stories here:
