Isn’t Craig Gardner the main man when it comes to signings at Brum mate? He won’t be inflicting them on Eustace though will he mate? Eustace will have a say. Oh yes I agree mate

It’s a leap of faith to say the least if we think that’s enough to save us. I watched them on Friday against West Brom and I thought they were dreadful despite the result. He has a very good reputation as a coach and is doing a good job at the moment, as ‘leaps of faith’ go I don’t see many better ones right now? Seems to be a coach who actually works hard to improve players as well? Agree with that. The board need to ask themselves has AN reached the bottom of the idea barrel. Are we going to turn it around? If the answer is no, then we should act quickly during the international break.

International break is now, then next one is after Coventry away - 11th November So what specific re that date to Benji? The obvious time to change manager is right now The next most obvious time is the next international break I just felt back oin August the run of games to then would kill him and still do if they wait until 11th nov ill be 14 days out which won’t be a bad guess but I felt then and do now the likely results up to that point would be the tipping point

QPR with his tail between his legs? Yes I’d expect Ainsworth to be shown the door sooner rather than later

The Board will sit on their hands and quote the injury rosta.

There are three trains of thought here:
1) We stick with AN for better or for worse. The entire summer reset (both on and off the pitch) was built around him and his ideas. Maybe we are so invested that we just have to see it through and have faith in the changes made?
2) We go for a young, hungry, and exciting coach. Someone who will get more out of the players on the training pitch and improve them through coaching. Someone who will be here for the long-term and build something lasting. However, if we are in a relegation battle then this becomes highly risky.
3) We get an old, experienced head in to see us through to the end of the season. Someone short-term who will keep us in this division so that we can reevaluate when the summer arrives. It will unlikely be an inspiring name, but we might have to grit out teeth if survival becomes the main aim.
In terms of actual names, who knows.
The likes of Rosenior, Eustace, Carrick, and McKenna have demonstrated that young managers can be effective. If other clubs can find bright, young managers then surely we can as well.
In terms of older heads, the likes of Warnock, Wilder, and Smith are all out of a job at the moment. Not exactly inspiring, but could be effective the short term?

And O'Shea going in as his No.2. His desire to focus on Ireland didn't last long then.

Eustace would surely be a good appointment.

Eustace would go rangers wouldn’t he?
Would definitely take him here.

If our owners had any sense, they’d be straight onto the phone to Eustace as soon as it’s announced he’s left Brum

I think I'm edging towards being #TeamEustace Looks like he’s done a decent job overall at Birmingham given their issues but surely going from Neil to Eustace after this rebuild would be a bit odd. They’re two completely different jobs. I don’t know who would be most qualified to take us on if it gets to that, but you’d think it’d be down the overseas route purely because of the signings we made.

They've just had a big rebuild with 12-13 signings, including a few overseas punts. And supposedly had Kidderminster playing like the "non-league Barcelona" www.the42.ie/how-irelands-new-coach-turned-kidderminster-into-the-non-league-barcelona-5718162-Mar2022/

And supposedly had Kidderminster playing like the "non-league Barcelona" I’ve seen them play a few times and been surprised at the football they played. For the confidence I have in anybody turning this club around, I think I’d just be tempted to stick with Neil unless it does get so bad that makes sacking the only option. The only way, in my opinion, that it happens before Leeds is if someone perfect becomes available that isn’t already on the market. As far as I can see, there is nobody remotely close to ideal. A risky move could see us in even more trouble than we are. I think the club will stick for now and I think it would too…just not for too much longer if things don’t improve.

Eustace is rumoured to being sacked tonight and Rooney to take over
He’s ex stoke done wonders at Birmingham
Will Coates stick or twist with Neil ?
There are people out there to replace Neil and I think Eustace most exciting realistic target that has links to Stoke.
