A barrage of boos drowned out some of the more abusive requests advising Wayne Rooney to consult the transatlantic flight timetable at the earliest opportunity and return to D.C. United, where he had been in charge over the past year.
It made for a dispiriting scene at St Andrew’s on Wednesday evening as the new Birmingham City manager headed off the pitch and down the players’ tunnel towards the dressing rooms. This was a second successive defeat for Rooney since he took charge just over a fortnight ago and his new team is yet to score a goal.
Cook spoke about a misalignment between Eustace and the club’s leadership following a series of meetings “over a number of months” which made the decision necessary. Only those involved are party to what that means exactly but the October international break was the time the board decided to act. Eustace was not on a damaging losing streak nor had he lost the dressing room. Birmingham have gone for a revolution in playing style and have taken a huge gamble that it will pay-off mid-season with a manager who has no track record of success just yet.
“I want to change the culture and identity of the club,” Rooney continued. “The teams who get promoted are the teams who play football.” Although he did add that Luton Town are the recent exception to that. The upgrade in facilities both at St Andrew’s and the Wast Hills training ground has been hugely impressive in such a short space of time.
If some fans thought all this could have been done while Eustace established the club in the Championship for the remainder of the season, then they will anxiously be hoping that the new broom does not undermine the owners’ plans.
