rjw63 Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Just listened to WM on the way home, one arshlickan Olbiyun fan saying BallBagFace is such a great manager they will piss the league next year and leave Villa and Wolves "in their wake". Some football supporters really are full of spunk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think he will be there for longer than 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been out of work for 2 years since leaving that huge club QPR in the shit. He also has the big names of Portsmouth and Bournemouth on his CV another couple of clubs who found themselves with financial woes not long after he walked out the door. The guy is a charlatan. A good bullshitter who the press love as with his big cockney wide boy gob he can't resist giving them a story. I give him until Christmas before he walks out citing knee trouble, his missus not wanting him to work or his dog needing a hand with his tax returns.

Genie Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 (edited) I reckon he tapped them up and got Zola sacked (based on nothing but a personal hunch). Edited May 9, 2017 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't mean a good manager (although he's not bad). By signing Zola their owners showed that they want someone who is a big name over a better manager (Rowett) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa89 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Harry has signed on for a 1 year contract. 'Triffic. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11694/10870997/harry-redknapp-verbally-agrees-birmingham-deal-sky-sources Quote Harry Redknapp has verbally agreed a one-year deal to remain Birmingham City manager, Sky sources understand. Redknapp held positive talks with representatives of Birmingham's Chinese owners at St Andrew's on Tuesday, after the former Tottenham manager confirmed to Sky Sports News HQ he wanted the job - if the owners could assure him he would be backed financially.

Stevo985 Posted May 10, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted May 10, 2017 Great news. They'll go nowhere under him and spend beyond their means. Never has a manager suited a club so well. Bunch of words removed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted May 10, 2017 Moderator Share Posted May 10, 2017 A 12 month deal is brilliant. He is there to top up the pension pot I'd imagine and he won't be moving up to Brum so will be around part time. It will be interesting to see how long he remains committed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
