Memory Lane Birmingham relegated

[Yorkshire Blue]

An occasion that brings happy memories to all Shrimpers old enough to remember.

I wasn’t even aware they were in a relegation battle this year but I shall be raising a glass tonight to celebrate.

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

They wasn’t, until they appointed Rooney in September!

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Was at Argyle today, their win kept them up at Brums expense (had Blackburn not won at Leicester the Ewood mob would have been relegated). Fantastic atmosphere .... not a patch tho on what we had for that Sunderland match

Those were the days when we had a rivalry with Birmingham. Thesedays our potential rivals could be Braintree.

Stroke of genius, bring in Wayne Rooney as manager and remove Eustace. Well done Tom Brady
So glad Eustace then kept Blackburn up and waved to Brum as they depart the Championship.

True Karma.

John Eustace was not appreciated for the fantastic job he had done, and they weren't satisfied, and wanted more. He definitely would not have taken them down. John Eustace then goes on to do his magic at Blackburn. Birmingham City haven't a clue. John Eustace had them punching well above their weight for the team they had. He was getting the very best out of them.
This is what I wrote in the sacked managers thread in January

Really clueless are the powers that be at Birmingham. John Eustace had them in a wonderful 6th position. Reading the story, John Eustace inherited a poor team. In the summer he sold 7 players, and brought in 12 for roughly the money made on sales. This transformed the team under him and he clearly did a fantastic job to get them to 6th in an extremely hard League. Then they sack him as they're not satisfied. Then to confound the ridiculous decision, they bring in the useless Rooney of all people. As I said at the time, a former player who played under him said, ''Great player, never a Manager''. Now they're in 20th position and in the relegation battle. It serves them right. If they stuck with Eustace, they might have been in a promotion battle.

Gota, love the yanks in our game of footy.

It doesn't help when the goalkeeper John Ruddy said after the relegation that ''For me, this club will be in the Premier League within five years.''
Lol. How has he got faith in the owners after the mess they made of it this season? For a start they have to pick the right Manager, something they're not good at. Yes, they will be one of the favourites to go up from League One, but even if they do it, getting promotion in the Championship is another thing entirely. I don't think they will be in the Premiership in the next 10 years, let alone 5.

Me i would love it if the reappointed Rooney to take them down to lge 2 so that we can whoop there asses and help sent them to NL., I said we becoz we going to get promoted .

 

[They Call It Madness!!!]

He, Eustace, tried his best to take Blackburn down! 17% win percentage since being appointed in February.

It’s quite scary to think how long we lasted in the old Championship in the 1990s considering our average crowd was between 4-5000.
