If you thought things couldn’t get any worse around St Andrew’s at the moment, well things might just be heading that way.
That is of course if you already weren’t a big fan of the idea to start with, which just for the record, I am not.
According to a report from Birmingham Live, former Liverpool player Robbie Fowler is interested in becoming the next manager at St Andrew’s, although there is yet to be official contact between the two parties at this stage. Fowler has recently departed A-League side Brisbane Roar, where he compiled a record of 11 wins from 24 games in charge.
Having already been pretty against the idea when his name was first brought up a few weeks ago, this news did not sit well with them, as they laughed off any notion of Fowler taking to St Andrew’s dugout in the future.
Yeah I’m keen as well but I ain’t going to get it and I hope he doesn’t either 😂😂 not the type of manager with no English management experience we need.

I’m keen as well doesn’t mean I’m going to get it, really ain’t the way forward if we’re looking at Robbie Fowler to progress us @XuandongRen

When will this board learn. If he is appointed it will be yet another disaster.

Did we not learn from Zola a good player doesn't mean a good manager, not enough experience for me, were in a downhill spiral we need proven help as soon as next season starts
