It really surprises me that I never see Robbie Fowler getting linked with jobs he's a fantastic manager and one of the smartest people I've come across' Former England striker baffled at why Liverpool legend is yet to get a role in the EFL

"In the end, Fowler and Jeffers' stay at the club lasted only eight games, despite winning six and drawing two of those fixtures."

"We were unbeaten in eight, we were loving it and we had the team playing really well, Jeffers told FourFourTwo. I was just absolutely gutted for Robbie no-one likes to lose their job and obviously when the manager goes, I go with him. I was just absolutely devastated for him because I was thinking 'He's played eight games and now we're getting on a plane to go home'. It just leaves a sour taste in your mouth."

"Fowler started out life as a boss by becoming player-manager of Thailand club Muangthong United, then later took the helm at Australian side Brisbane Roar, only to return to the UK when the pandemic hit."

Robbie Fowler has held managerial roles at Muangthong United, Brisbane Roar, East Bengal and Al Qadsiah, all outside England. Francis Jeffers served as his assistant at Al Qadsiah, where a takeover by Aramco elevated the club and prompted structural changes. Al Qadsiah appointed Carlos Anton as sporting director and later replaced Fowler amid a shift toward a more Spanish style, and Michel was appointed shortly after Fowler's dismissal. Fowler and Jeffers left after eight matches, during which the team recorded six wins and two draws. Jeffers expressed disappointment and confidence in Fowler's ability to manage in the EFL.
