Managerless Burton this Saturday....

Looks like Burton may have a stop-gap gaffer holding the reins for this one. Any upheaval most welcome.

He is crazy for going there atm.

Which means Burton will play their hearts out for whoever is standing in as manager!

Rowett would likely bring with him assistant manager Kevin Summerfield, who had a seven-month spell at Blues in 1982, plus another two ex-St Andrew’s players, first team coach Mark Sale and goalkeeper coach Kevin Poole.

You never know whether this will work for or against you.

Blues are a huge sleeping giant, what some on here would like to think you Gargs are, Burton are and will always be non league, it was a total no brainer for Rowett, how much difference does he need to make to a team getting battered 0-8 at home?

No point checking results, I already know your lot won. Predictable.

Tisdale is a fooking genius. Without him, Exeter would have spent the last ten years playing derbies against Bridport and Tiverton.

I see Kevin Poole has left Burton as well. If I remember rightly, he was the 'keeper who won POTY for Leicester one year, and on being presented with the glass trophy immediately dropped it. Glorious.

Its a huge gamble for Rowett to go to Birmingham at this moment in time given what a clusterfuck it is backstage.

Hope it works out for them and he is given a fair amount of time.

"Burton will always be non-league".

Cutting edge analysis from Lord Tisdale here.

With Burton's newly furbished stadium, quality footballing side, sound finances, and recent history of several top 6 finishes, Burton Albion are every inch the club Exeter City wishes it could be.
