Rowett had been strongly linked to take 3 different jobs, so with the constant speculation the Birmingham Board offered Rowett a new contract which he refused to sign. Plus they weren't exactly playing champagne football. It was all about scratch and scrape to get results.
Having said that, the game is all about results, so with hindsight it was a mistake.
But is getting a managerial appointment correct easy? The amount of failures/sackings suggests it isnt.

Didn't something similar happen a tad closer to home a few seasons back?

Not so sure I can see Blackburn winning one of their games and can't see where Birmingham will get a point, tbh. They are in freefall
Would serve the owners right tbh, if they went down after sacking Rowett who was doing a good job
