Birmingham City sack manager Eustace, target Rooney as replacement after takeover

Birmingham City defeated rivals West Bromwich Albion 3-1 but sacked manager John Eustace days later.
The club aims to build a winning culture after undergoing a takeover by Shelby Companies, with Tom Brady as minority owner.
Wayne Rooney has emerged as the leading candidate to take over as the new Birmingham City manager.
The new owners want to establish an identity and playing style under a high-profile new manager.
Eustace led Birmingham City to a strong start this season but was relieved of his duties unexpectedly.
