Let's have a look at how Bowyer did once he left us:
"After 16 months in charge, Bowyer was sacked on 2 July 2022. During his final season in charge, Birmingham finished in 20th in the EFL Championship and won just four games in 26 after November 2021"
I’ll take promotion again and finishing 20th in the championship tbf
Bowyer was VERY good at the beginning, and VERY bad by the end. Who knows if the decline was of his own making, or whether the massive injury crisis in 19/20 tipped him over the edge?
If we can get the same bounce out of him that we did back in 2018 though, I'd welcome him. I do suspect he'd only be here for a couple of years though. Based on how things panned out for him here and at Birmingham.
Well we've(apparently) been very clever and decided to bring him back right in the middle of a brand new injury crisis so I suspect we'll find out soon enough....
If it is Bows, it will be interesting to see how he forms his back room staff. Jacko now a manager in his own right. Mark Kennedy (his Birmingham assistant) the same. Andy Marshall at Millwall.

Didnt he keep them up when he first took over
W5 | D2 | L3 was his initial record between him joining and the end of that season - Imagine many doubters here had Birmingham odds on for relegation the moment he joined them, seeing that there were offers to drive him to Portsmouth (one club he was rumoured to join) shortly before he resigned
Bowyer wouldn’t be my first choice but the first few months of that championship season he had us playing some beautiful football. I’ll never forget when we played Forest at home and we tore them a new one in the first half .
Beggers can’t be choosers and he’s probably the best fit for our situation now .

They finished 3rd in the Championship not too long after by his replacement after he took them to 20th and got sacked.
No they didnt... They're 3rd at the moment, but finished 17th last season

And remind me what state they was in..
To be honest, I don’t think you would be happy unless Peter Varney and Barclay owned the club and Pep was the manager

How interesting, I don't actually care about Varney at all so you're just peddling your generic 'agenda' lines.
I'd be happy with Bowyer but I don't think he's the right profile for this ownership - you could see that Holden was fuming on Saturday & perhaps the firing was a result of him giving them a piece of his mind, something that LB wouldn't hesitate to do as well
Shows Bowyer is waiting for his next job and not out the game. Though setting his sights on Leeds is a lot higher than where we are now....and probably higher than he would get after his record so far.

So i'm not going to believe any 'my mate said' stories until someone actually in the know backs it up.
(I get your point though)

Liam Millar was @ the World Cup, and is in the Swiss Top Flight.
We're in a worse state judging by this window.
As of this morning there had been no approach.
Doesn't confirm a lot as discussions could've taken place after Cawley was told the above.
even if it was just his agent has been approached and in discussions and a leak has got out now
suspect they are looking for a compliant, yes man

Millar was also an enigma. Very similar player to CBT to be fair. I did like him though.
