AJ Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 9 minutes ago, TrentVilla said: If that were true, I don’t know if it is or it isn’t, then I’d have thought the owners would have let that disloyalty be known. It would have relieved a lot of the stick they have taken for getting rid of him. But it is possible Fulham were the second stalking horse club he tried to use. If that was the case, being such shrewd and wise businessmen, wouldn't it have been better to negotiate for a compromise instead of sacking him? Regardless, I am sure Mr Rowett is much happier now.

More than 1 way to manage a situation especially when he’s clearly got them punching above their weight (give him more money if that is what he was angling for).

Demitri_C Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I think fat pieboy will be given job when cotterill is sacked. Then they will look for another quick fix miracle like candleface until end of season. Doea anyone know how longvthey signed cotterill for? I hope its 3-4 year deal the compensation would be huge.

More money? More control and say? The moon on a stick? I don't know. If it was something reasonable, then they should have just given it. If it was a bit outlandish, then it would have been a good idea to parlay and meet halfway. This is all speculation if this was true of course.

My bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 One thing Blues had going for them was their academy. They have been doing well of late and have some really good talent and coaches. The coaches were all **** off when Redknapp was appointed because it changed everything and no one liked him or his lack of tactics/strategy. With Rowett they were trying to play the same way throughout all of their teams and everyone loved him. A lot of their youth players are looking elsewhere now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really was a staggering own goal on so many levels, even for them. Rowett was someone I looked at and thought 'them buggers have a bloody good one there'. A Villa fan couldn't have done a better job of f**king them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mad to read considering Redknapp was only ever going to be a short term fix for them. Never thought I'd say this but they were probably better run under Carson Yeung until the money ran out.
