Birmingham City fans pile in as Lee Bowyer 'relieved of his duties' at St Andrew's

Birmingham City fans have had their say after reports emerged stating Lee Bowyer had departed the club this afternoon.

Bowyer was reportedly informed of the decision by the club after taking charge of his final training session on Saturday morning, according to The Mirror. The first team were then called into a meeting and informed of the immediate change at the club.

Blues' current Far East owners are in the process of selling the club however a possible deal with former Watford owner Laurence Bassini has stalled. Bassini's period of exclusivity has now expired after he failed to meet several deadlines due to investors having growing doubts regarding whether or not a deal would be passed by the EFL and FA.

Blues fans have had their say here...

Gutted. All the best Lee you deserve to be treated better. KRO.

How can they get rid of a bloke when they're supposed to be selling up?

He’s been treated badly from day one, lied to about non existent transfer money, no communication with the owners, and now this. I wish you well Lee, you deserve better at a much better club.

Shambles as usual. LB is a decent man and manager.

Why?

Perhaps if new owners are coming in they might want him gone as part of the deal so they don't look like the bad guys, but it's Blues we're talking about so who knows.

You deserve better than this.
