Sixth place is currently on track for 71. To get to 72, Birmingham would need 44 points from 20 games, which is a big ask but we’ve seen what Cooper can achieve quickly at that level.
They could make the playoffs, but 2 of those teams will be probably from Ipswich, Southampton and Leeds. Assuming Leicester continue on. Just plain better teams.
What exactly has Lopetegui done to be so selective and confident in his own abilities without anybody questioning that? From what I can see of his CV he did a reasonable job over a very short time span at Wolves and has had a long career before that being mediocre or worse. He must have a busy PR person.
OIFBC boss Luke Williams set for Swansea (Coventry also planning a move for OIFBC striker Langstaff - could be a very bad January for them)
Ex-Oxford boss Karl Robinson in at Salford (he would have been a great appointment for OIFBC).
Ex-Sunderland boss Tony Mowbray set for Birmingham.
I just looked up Tony Mowbray because it oddly feels like he's managed pretty much everyone bar a few in the EFL. Turns out he's only 60, despite looked at least 10 years older than that only and stopped playing in 2000. I say only,I still think of the early to mid 00's being 10 years ago, tops.
And anyway I thinking of Pulis. I couldn't be arsed googling him by this point though.
Was that the one where he slagged his own player off? It was definitely a more honest style of media management, I'm not sure it's optimal for team success.
