@lancashire lad It as I say was perhaps not the best wording on my part. Anyway I reiterate I certainly would not want to cause a poster to leave CL over a poorly worded disagreement.
I apologise for any offence caused by the use of the word stupid. I didn't call you stupid, but can see how it might cause offence.
I do feel your own comments were lacking in consideration for how Bowyer was behaving which was the first step in him losing my and others faith.
I have since chosen to try to find a way to back him and he's not made it through the 10 games I wanted to give him with his signings.
@aliwibble apologies for giving you the work of moving comments from the other thread.
“ I feel he will give us hope on the field and the players will understand what he wants from them by making it simple and not constantly changing the formation and tactics. He will be aware of what we Bluenoses expect”
Make no mistake Bowyer was the most important person at CAFC in the last 10 years + . He was our Churchill (woke considerations aside) when scumbags and doom threatened to engulf us all. Go well Lee.

You realise we had Powell who was marginally better than Bowyer (won the league, achieved championship survival and almost scraped play offs in that season)
One of the most important, but not the most important.
Don't anyone who has been screaming for him to be sacked now try and be gracious or attempt to show class.
Gutted,
great manager did a lot for us. Got credit in the bank and I hope he
has a long and distinguished career, we will miss him
To be fair the majority of people thinking bowyer should have gone would
much rather he was doing a good enough job that they didn’t feel that
way.As for him being great,, I’m afraid that’s completely overstated.
He was good for a little while at best. I think everyone appreciates
what he did, but that could never give him a free pass people like
yourself seem to want to give him. Lee’s resignation has probably made
TS job easier.I for one would have been very happy to keep bowyer, if he
was continuing the good stuff he had done....... but he wasn’t. Alex
Ferguson was a GREAT manager, is bowyer in that bracket??? No.
Bow was exactly what the club needed at the time he was
appointed, and his aggressive motivational approach drove the team to
perform well beyond reasonable expectations including (but not
culminating in) the Wembley explosion of joy.
However
when that approach began to wane (perhaps initially in late-2019 due to
an unfortunate series of injuries) he was found very much wanting in
terms of tactics, coaching and man management.
Indeed
the decline occurred so quickly and to such an extent* that I wonder
what, other than his prior playing connection (or perhaps a perceived
desire for the same short-term motivational jolt), a Championship club
like Birmingham is manoeuvring for so actively.

What? Why?
Because its muggy and disingenuous
I think you can feel like it was time for Bowyer to go and still be
thankful for the good stuff earlier in his reign. I don’t see why the
two would be mutually exclusive or hypocritical.

Now lets get someone in that understands how to develop and motivate players, and how to nurture team spirit.

LOL...... good luck with that...
Speaks volumes.
Shame that if we win,lose or draw, my ears are already missing the "We was better than them Scotty."
