[@RussJoysandsorrows]

You said exactly what I'd have said. KRO. Wayne Rooney is the reason we went down. Yes, the owners made a mistake in him and the players should have done better, but Rooney threw winning style out of the window and arrogantly stuck to his guns. Waited to be sacked rather than resigning when it was clear he couldn't do the job. And still blamed THE FANS 😮 Relegation is on him. Rowett proved the players could do it, given belief, etc. Norwich beaten play off semi finalists and we beat them. Rooney's team would have been soundly beaten.

[@SgpER-r6k]

Now every club should learn at this stage. Never give Wayne Rooney a job to manage your club. He's a relegation catalyst.

Last season I went through this experience for the first time with my club, Santos FC. A club that once had Pelé, who died the same year the club was relegated, Neymar, Rodrygo and many other players are now in the Brazilian second division. When we lost the game in the last round and our fate was confirmed, I confess I wasn't very sad. But a few months later, when the Brazilian championship started and I saw that Santos wouldn't be there, I discovered that our disaster was really real. I feel sorry for Birmingham, such a traditional club like others in English football that cannot stay in the top division. We will all come back stronger one day.

I know villa and brum fans can be really aggressive to each other but without your rivals then football is dead.

Here's an incredible milestone for you. When I began following football around the end of the 70s/beginning of the 80s, Birmingham City were a top flight club with Archie Gemmill, Mark Dennis, Frank Worthington, Dave Langan, Jeff Wealands & Alan Curbishley on their books & the late,great "Bald Eagle" Jim Smith in charge. The West Midlands had more top tier clubs than London at that time (Villa,B'ham,Coventry,WBA & Wolves, whereas London only had Arsenal, Palace & Spurs). Doesn't seem possible, knowing that a rathole like London never has less than 6 clubs in the PL at any one time now (currently with 7 clubs). Jim Smith did a marvellous job at Newcastle with literally no money available & I still rate the Eagle as an underrated legend...

yes relegation is gutting as I been there with my team and this is where a team that goes down has to show resilience in the next season in adapting to the new conditions but with clubs like Birmingham should bounce back. I mean my team is Ipswich and we spent 4 years in league one and until circumstances changed like new owners which was the one thing we needed as Evens was running the club into the ground but with the perseverance and building back the fans faith in the club and being wise with what we spent the money on makes all the difference and our fortunes have turned. Remember we were out the premiership 22 years ago. I will say that Birmingham did the same thing as Ipswich with having a manager who name is more famous than their coaching qualities. We had Roy Keane and look at what he did and I will say that in the same comparison to Birmingham. Birmingham is a club that should have never gone down, but it bad choice in choosing Rooney was the start of a spiral and having too many changes in management does not help the players either as they have to keep adapting to each manager styles from scratch and leaves them unsettled.

Without the bitter the sweet ain't so sweet. I remember when we (Leicester) got relegated to League One, it was the first time it had happened in our history.

We came back first time, had a few goes at the Championship and the rest everybody knows. But my point is, keep supporting your home team, they need you and you're already screwed because you invested far too much. Who knows where you will bounce back to.

Cov fan here, couldn't believe it when they sacked Eustace to be replaced with Rooney. Under Rooney they were one of the worst teams I'd seen at the CBS this season (though it was brilliant hearing all the fans, Birmingham included singing there's only one John Eustace together), but it seemed they really got the players playing towards the end of the season, just a little bit too late (thumped us 3-0 when our mind was on the cup). I've got no Beef with Birmingham and appreciate what they did for my team, hope they come back up, but as any team that goes down from the Champ soon can find out, it's easier to sldie into L2 sometimes than come back up and it's one of those divisions you can easily get stuck in.

Havent heard Born Slippy for such a long time. Great choice for the soundtrack

[@beadle111gaming]

The music reminds me of Football Factory. Perfect choice! Nice video

Always love your vlogs, it’s a shame the one you do on my club is about us going down. Hope you come back in brighter times.

[@FORZAPOTENZA]

You know, it's kinda funny you happened to go to St Andrews when we got sent down. Even my dad and I (Birmingham City family) had to laugh, only we could do our job on the final day, have three unlikely results not go our way, and really we'd have been safe if we could just beat the bottom two in the run-in...

[@EmiMartinezVillaLegend]

We’re all laughing as well lad 🤣🤣🤣🤣

So, I'm an American and not a football fan [soccer, that is]. I have friends who are, one an Arsenal Gooner and one who loves Leeds. I pick up some of the EPL system from them, and yeah, Welcome to Wrexham as well. My Leeds friend hit me with an interesting turn of phrase I thought some of you might appreciate. "The hardest individual skill in sports is hitting an MLB fastball but the single hardest thing for a team and organization to do is come back from Premier League relegation and stay there." Props to my buddy Andy for that one.

Soccer is another British word but real fans dislike this so is what it is called Football from the very first game to present unlike American so called football which 99% of the time is thrown and ran with.

[@carlhicksjr8401]

@@richardbarton2709 Well, as I say I'm an American, and it makes sense to differentiate the two. By the way, have I shared with you the Gospel According the Seattle Seahawks 🤣

Relegation is simply gods way of punishing the weak

Your content is legit🎉

The appointment of Rooney sent them down, it sent them into a tailspin they never recovered from. They can take inspiration from Ipswich. I hope they get back to the Prem.

Looking forward to my trip to Birmingham next season. A nice close one for Shrewsbury
