I think that Harry will fail.
I think his methods will go over the players heads.
I think he might help a bit with their confidence.
But I don't think the players are intelligent enough or have any heart to get out of relegation.
They won't beat villa on Sunday that's for sure.
That leaves 2 games for survival obviously depending on other results.
But they're doomed.
The owners only seem to want big name managers I don't even know who owns bham and in some ways I don't care.
Blame the board for this debacle I say.
Sorry for the fans and some of my friends with what they have had to put up with for many years now.
Back to basics for the whole club and get a decent owner.

he wil get the one win they need then cottrill will be in place next season

[liverbaggie]

They won't beat villa,who are their final 2 matches against?

That's what he is telling the taxman

Typical 'Arry, win win, the Blues manage to stay up its all down to him and if they lose and go down its all Zola's fault.

Its about right.
They were definitely on the way down with Zola 22 games 2 wins.
If 'Arry amasses enough points in the last 3 games to keep them safe he will have done his job.
I do agree though it is a free punt.

[wodenson46]

Hope they have plenty of brown envelopes available

[smosher34]

I can see the blues beating the villa Sunday now Zola had gone

 hope so

[liverbaggie]

I see that 'arry says blues need 4 points to stay up.
If they lose against villa,which I think they will,that means their last 2 matches must be a win and a draw.
Can't see it myself.
It's certainly going down to the wire.

Fancy them to beat Villa

One of the biggest clubs in the world play their local rivals in a crunch match, and Sky decide to show some nonsense from Scotland. I give up

[WBArgo]

I don't like him at all but I do think he's a decent manager for the Championship level. His CV isn't bad but I think he's been judged on his personality and his stint at QPR where he failed, however for the most part he's been a good manager throughout his career.

I think he's grown too stale for the Premier League but in the Championship he will be ok. It's a bit like Neil Warnock or Mick Mcarthy, not good enough for the top level but ideal in stabilising a club in trouble in the Championship. I think they will stay up, mostly due to the others below them struggling and I think Redknapp will get at least 1 point which will be enough.

[liverbaggie]

As isaid previously,if they lose against villa ,which they have done today.
According to Harry they need 4 points from last 2 games now.
They're going down.into the 3rd division.
I think Blackburn and forest have woken up and will overtake blues,forest have already done it.
Going to the wire.

[don1thedon]

I suspect they were hoping the 'Harry effect' would get them a point today! Remaining fixtures for the 3 teams;

Birmingham City V Huddersfield Town
Blackburn Rovers V Aston Villa
Queens Park Rangers V Nottingham Forest

Brentford V Blackburn Rovers
Bristol City V Birmingham City   
Nottingham Forest V Ipswich Town

going to be tight, the 2 points lead they currently have over Blackburn could be just enough but they have a poor goal difference.

[liverbaggie]

Bham and Villa will lose tomorrow's games.
Leaving blues 3rd from bottom going into last match of the season.
Another "huge club" rival going down into 3rd division obscurity.
Nice one Harry.

Hardly his fault if they do go down is it?

[smosher34]

If that going down it's the boards fault for getting rid of Rowett has to go down as the worst football sacking in a long time .

[BB74]

No but he will be the mastermind if they stay up. No lose situation.
