Please deano, you know it makes sense

I don't think Blues have any staff left!

THE CLUB REGRETFULLY CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS THIS EVENING PARTED COMPANY WITH MANAGER STEVE COTTERILL.
Steve’s contract, and those of the backroom staff – First Team Coach Paul Groves, First Team Coach Paul Williams, Goalkeeper Coach Kevin Hitchcock, Director of Football Jeff Vetere, David Álvarez (Head of Sports Science and Medical) and Albert Altarriba-Bartés (First Team Strength and Conditioning Coach) – have been terminated with immediate effect.

[Alan]

Monk is profoundly over rated. I can't wait until we confirm their relegation.

Wanted to take the club in a different direction....and fair play they changed the direction instantly.

They didn't like the style of play under Rowett and wanted something more pleasing to the eye.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Their present dive toward league one is superbly pleasing to my eye

 

[Nando]

One of all the time great managerial decisions. It's an absolute joy having best mates who are Blues and Baggies fans this season.

 

[Derby Wolf]

I'll let you enjoy this here chaps...

 

[Banjo]

Makes you realise just how terrible an appointment it was in the first place.

They didn't like the style of play under Rowett and wanted something more pleasing to the eye.

Also he was offered a new contract in the Summer which remained unsigned by December so they bulleted him.

Cotterill gone by the looks of it

This quote from a reporter made me smile.

Poor old Steve Cotterill! Once asked him ‘Was he delighted to get a new contract’ and he blew a gasket and demanded I asked the question again as it was inferring he didn’t deserve one. So I said ‘Reaction to your new contract?’ To which he replied ‘Delighted’

 

[PuntsWolf]

We always sounds like the village idiot I interviews and deluded. However a quick read through Wikipedia suggests he’s generally done alright as a manager.

 

[Tredman]

Monk confirmed at the blues. New manager bounce would be welcome for next Saturday.

In the summer of 2016 Monk joined Leeds United and brought the good times back to Elland Road following several mid-table finishes.

That's some artistic licence there! :icon_lol:

I thought they finished outside the playoffs, the exact same as finishing mid-table in effect.

Wow 3.1/2 years...Wonder why he would go there?

Manager's gotta work, gives him a chance to prove something, etc. etc.
