John Eustace sacked despite their good start to the season, beggars belief really, they deserve what comes their way

Yes and they are 6th in the league and it looks like Rooney will be the next manager, I would think this was decided a few weeks ago.

Some Club owners deserve a kick up the arse for their total lack of respect and decency. I now hope Brum take a dive down the table after this .

KM should be grateful that he is at a club like ours. No doubt there is some owner out there who would classify 2nd in the table as failure.
Yet another example of how the game has gone mad.

Agree. Reminds me of another club that brought in a big name ex-player and it ended up going all tits up.

Oddly enough I thought he did a good job at Derby with no money . But I think he was fed up of the turmoil at the club re ownership etc

I agree with that, the record shows he did well in difficult circumstances.
