I was 11 when Rowett played for us. I remember watching him play and decided that he was my favourite player, thus being added to the long list of strange favourite players I had a boy.
Anyway, at the time my big sister was a huge Gareth Gates fan, and she had tons of framed pictures of him all over her room. One day when she was out I changed every single picture of Gareth Gates she had to pictures of Gary Rowett.
She realised almost immediately, and promptly thumped me for it.
An incredible decision, given what Rowett has achieved there on very limited resources.
This is what happens when people who know nothing about football take over clubs. Mind you, if the new owners are that stupid, it could only ever end badly and Rowett is probably well out of it.
The problem for sensible, "not big name" managers is that more and more clubs have idiot owners
Was sitting in a pub with a Blues fan when this came up on SKY, he couldn't believe it. We consoled him with the prediction that his team will be playing in lucky red next season, with Tim Sherwood as the new manager and a name change to Small Heath Red Dragons.

Indeed. According to the BBC, Zola's agent is in talks with Birmingham's owners. Zola is probably someone they've seen on telly or read about in a football annual.

Unforgiving league the Championship. Blackburn have 22 points and are in the relegation zone could easily need to have 50 points to stay up this season.
Amazing. Rowett was a shrewd operator in the transfer market - picked up some bloke called Morrison on a free who has gone on to be a big hit at the club.
Rowett will not be out of work for long me thinks. Decent manager and another in the long list of quality Charlton players whose career was cut short before his time..
By the way, Trillion Trophy, whilst you are making bat shit crazy decisions, why not bring in a new, young, CEO with experience of UK football. You can tell her to make any ridiculous decision and as long as you keep paying her she will do what you want.
Why do so many foreign owners want foreign managers?
Is it that they look hopefully at the EPL set-up and immediately notice that most successful managers at present are from outside the UK?
Do they believe they will get more subservience from a foreigner than a British manager?
Do they think that players offer a foreign manager more respect?
Is there an element of racism?
I hope Zola screws up, even though I thoroughly respected him as a player and remember the warm applause he received at The Valley inn his final game there. It's not about Zola, it's about another fecking stupid owner.

I'm beginning to wonder if this is the case... Watford have turned over four / five Managers in recent years and none of them have kicked up a fuss, have shrugged their shoulders and have moved on without getting the LMA involved.
This happens all over the Continent with Managers being sacked so often I think the foreigners see it as just a way of life whereas the English bosses, because they're used to having that little of stability will go running to the LMA and the Chairmen maybe dont like that
I'm given to understand that he is a great chap. In the very few games he played for us he was real class and many of us were looking forward to many years of service from him.....absolute sickener when he had to hang up his boots. Good luck to you mate,wherever you turn up, you deserve it.
Zola .. terrific player, not such a good manager .. Roll on Brexit when we can deport these useless foreigners and maintain jobs for English lads (and lasses) ((:>) .... as @soapy_jones implies, he should stick to writing long tomes .. J'accuse him of being a useless lil upstart

But it was worth it.
The league ... totally wrong
Puts Katrien to shame with the speed of the appointment.

Won't be long before the only English managers left are in the Conference.
Sacking Rowett. Lol.
Hiring Zola. Lol.
See you in League One soon Birmingham.
