This decision follows the surprising departure of John Eustace on Monday morning, despite the team&#8217;s sixth-place standing in the<a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/efl-championship\"> Championship<\/a>. The club&#8217;s new owners, Knighthead Capital, are eager to implement a change in direction, emphasising a &#8220;no fear&#8221; playing style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Rooney\">Rooney available after DC United exit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rooney, the former boss of Derby County, has become available after parting ways with <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/mls\">MLS<\/a> club DC United over the weekend. He states that this decision was made without a specific future role in mind. There is optimism surrounding Rooney&#8217;s potential appointment, with the belief that he could bring significant attention to the club. It is rumoured that upon his appointment, the 37-year-old may bring former teammates Ashley Cole and John O&#8217;Shea on board as part of his coaching staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Tuesday night, it was confirmed that assistant head coaches Keith Downing and Matt Gardiner have both departed the club in the wake of Eustace&#8217;s exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile Eustace has been mentioned in connection with the vacancy at Rangers after the departure of Michael Beale last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Betting\">Betting Implications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The appointment of Rooney as Birmingham City&#8217;s manager would be a development closely watched by fans, pundits and sports bettors alike. If and when Rooney takes over bettors need to monitor the progress of the team to see if they are worth backing for promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time of writing<a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/betting-sites\/bet365\"> bet365 <\/a>have Blues as 50\/1 outsiders to win the <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/efl-championship\">EFL Championship<\/a> and 16\/1 to be promoted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/premier-league\">Premier League<\/a>. It will be interesting to see if those odds shorten if Rooney\u2019s appointment is confirmed and, should he get off to a good start, how quickly they come down.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mt-8 wp-block-top-list \" id=\"sports-book\">\n\n\t\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the best UK <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/efl-championship\">EFL Championship betting sites<\/a> and the best bookies for <a href=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/football\">football <\/a>with Betting.com.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"mt-8 wp-block-top-list \" id=\"sports-book\">\n\n\t\n\t<section\n\t\tid=\"block_7b178b8c5fbbc5cc0b52dbb12b439585\"\n\t\t\t\t\tx-data=\"block_7b178b8c5fbbc5cc0b52dbb12b439585\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"@container\"\n\t>\n\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-1  @2xl:grid-cols-2  gap-8\" x-ref=\"container-block_7b178b8c5fbbc5cc0b52dbb12b439585\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/go.betting.com\/go\/betway\"\n\t\t\ttarget=\"_blank\"\n\t\t\trel=\"nofollow noopener\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Betway Review 2026 : \u00a330 Matched Free Bet if your first Acca loses\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"flex flex-grow flex-row items-center bg-white p-2 shadow group hover:no-underline \"\n\t\t\tdata-bt=\"tiles-betting-site-sm\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-180x95.webp 180w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-180x95.jpg 180w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-360x189.webp 360w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210-360x189.jpg 360w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.webp 400w, https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.jpg 400w\"\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"120px\"\n\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/betting.com\/gb\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/betway_postcard_400x210.jpg\"\n\t\talt=\"Betway\"\n\t\t\t\t\twidth=\"120\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\theight=\"62\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"object-cover object-center bg-cover bg-center flex-shrink-0 w-[120px] lg:w-[100px] aspect-casino\"\n\t\tstyle=\" \"\n\t\tloading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"flex flex-col px-3\">\n\t\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"text-sm font-semibold !leading-4 text-black duration-300 group-hover:text-red-100 lg:text-base\"\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-bt=\"tiles-betting-site-sm-title\"\n\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\tBetway\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mt-1 flex flex-row items-center gap-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"star-rating h-auto w-[60px]\"\n\t\t style=\"--bt-star-percentage: 91.3084%;
