WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID: Birmingham must hope it's not deja-blue after sacking John Eustace to bring in big name Wayne Rooney as manager... after their Gianfranco Zola experiment failed in 2016

What do you do when your football team is on an upward trajectory and experiencing their best start to a season after years of underperforming?

What do you do when fans are finally on side and pleased with the direction of the club after a decade of hardship?

Of course, you sack your manager.

Wayne Rooney is an attractive appointment at Birmingham and this is by no means a dig at the former Manchester United and Everton man, but parting ways with John Eustace might be one of the most stupid sackings in recent times.
