Interesting, what’s he done since then?
no doubt he would have been more of the same though
The Birmingham fans I worked with were gutted when he was sacked from their club, they loved that he had them in the top half of the table.
They did also say his style of football would get football stopped it was so boring.
As time goes by it gets worse that we appointed Pedro.
I was for graham potter / billy reid when warburton left.
I'm a Blues fan mate and his sacking was utterly inexplicable at the time. He was very popular. His replacement was the disastrous Zola who almost relegated the club yet again. Everyone thought that the Chinese owners did all that purely because they'd actually heard of Zola!The Birmingham fans I worked with were gutted when he was sacked from their club, they loved that he had them in the top half of the table.

I dont think potter/ reid are a downgrade.We were in a process of downsizing since the early 2000's, then had our throats slit and the shit kicked out of us. All of this leads to thoughts like the above along with undervaluing our players.
Thankfully we are gaining our standards again. No mark managers will never have a sniff of getting the Rangers job for a long time.

Managing fine in the epl.
And the way i looked at it Billy Reid is a bluenose with scottish expierence.
Far better than mcinnes and the RC as his assistant.
Thats harsh , we have had pedro, warburton, murty , ally in recent years.Managing fine in the EPL isn't much of a ringing endorsement to be fair. The championship down is full of guys who seem to be incredibly lucky to continue to get jobs simply based on they have worked in the league before.
Anything but!Doing a decent job at Millwall but has been sacked a few times since being linked with us. Seems a bit of an arrogant prick tbh.
Caixinha will remain the most bizarre appointment! I thought Rowatt at the time was a safer pair of hands!
He also took a swedish club from 3rd tier to last 32 of Europa league in about 5 seasons so must have something about him. Yes Sweden is hardly a glamour league but makes the Euro run a bit more impressiveManaging fine in the EPL isn't much of a ringing endorsement to be fair.

"It was all pretty bizarre"
Just about sums up that whole time at the club..
