Birmingham City were relegated from the Championship at the weekend after a disastrous season of mismanagement on and off the pitch - but who should take the blame? The errors that will lead us to a conclusion are as follows:Undermining John Eustace before a ball was kicked. Sacking him and appointing Wayne Rooney on a ‘no fear’ football ticket. It began a downwards spiral with Rooney that was mercifully ended after a limp 3-0 surrender at Leeds United. In terms of points per game, Eustace, Mowbray and Rowett all did enough to suggest this relegation should have been avoided.
