Not sure if i've missed it mentioned elsewhere, and it might be this thread should be placed somewhere else, but Paul Trollope has been announced first team coach at Birmingham.

Yeas, saw it in the Mail yesterday. Good luck to him

Yeah very much so, Good luck to him.

There is no doubting his coaching credentials, I believe he will go on to be a fantastic coach, and maybe one day be a succesful mangager.

It is just a shame it ended the way it did with us really, He is a quality bloke, It is just his achievements of getting us promoted at Wembley, reaching the JPT final at The Millenium, and getting us to the quarter finals of The FA Cup were overshadowed by his boring style of play, his dealings in the transfer market, spunking lots of money on sh*te, and putting a team out that got spanked most weeks in the last 2 years of his tenure.

He did bring some good times to The Gas, but also some very poor ones like getting spanked 6-1 at Oxford in The League Cup last season, getting dubbed 6 at Wednesday, losing 5-0 to Orient and losing 4-0 at home numerous times.

But he is a top bloke and I hope he goes on to have a good career, It is just a shame that his first venture into management ended so badly.

Good Luck Trolls
