Almost all of us wanted Rowett gone during the season so what’s the big fuss, if he stays fine but if he goes it totally freshens things up, new players and manager, sometimes that’s what it needs and it works, he has had 3 years so might be the right time to move on
Yeah, but he’s shown (certainly 2nd half of the season ), that when he plays the right formation and throws the shackles off the players, they can produce some good, exciting football and results!
Maybe, him staying or not, might be down to JB as to whether he is going to back his manager in the transfer market! Can’t see Rowett moving across London to the ha ha ha’s when their budget probably isn’t any better than ours!
So if JB will back him (as he did Harris when the likes of Bradshaw, Leonard, etc. were brought in), then it would be a shame if he went elsewhere, and wasn’t able to use the money to build a team he could compete with! Don’t forget, since he’s been our manager, he’s only signed on permanent transfers 3 new players: Bennett, Evans and Kieftenbeld! Others like Saville and Malone we’re resigns who’d played for us before. Everyone else was a Harris signing!
If he stays (and I hope he does), then the only slight worry I have is whether Rowett will do as he did last season (season just finished), which is to play every game defensively until we cannot be relegated, and then throw off the shackles and play. If he does that, then I can see next season panning out the same way this season has finished: nearly men knocking on the doors of the play offs, but not getting in! Rowett has to go for it, from the 1st minute of the new season, and hopefully we can improve on results (too many draws last season), as well as aiming for the top of the Championship!
