Honestly sir, I don't think my research matters a jot. In the small time I allowed myself I learnt that he took one of the biggest clubs in Norway from the 2nd tier back to the top division. Google used to be useful but now it won't even tell me if Eric Hornland speaks English. The modern world sucks.
If he is appointed manager I will cheer on my team. Am I swapping him for Robins? Idk?

Wilfried Nancy - Columbus
Henrik Rydstrom - Malmo
Christian Eichner - Karlsruher
All fairly young. All like to attack and press. Top two have won titles.
Also think Carsley is a decent shout. He had the U21s playing some incredible football at the recent Euros.

As I said on a previous thread I think it will be Russell Martin when he is sacked from Southampton.
But the thought of Lati, Kitching and Thomas playing tiki taka out from the back gives me nightmares.

All good shouts. Wilfried Nancy would be an interesting shout if he would come from the MLS.
Plays a 3-4-3 which you could argue suits our squad as well.

Couple of overseas managers mentioned that I know nothing of. All the rest listed are either crap, in a job that we can't afford or unrealistic. If Doug won't sign loans or older players, it will be a cheap option from the backroom staff promoted. I'm not adverse to a change, but if these are our options, then I'd rather stick than twist.

I canāt imagine that the guy who was willing to spend Ā£13m on transfers this summer with no outgoings, has invested in the training ground and stadium, and doubled the size of the backroom staff is now going to cheap out on the most important position at the club.

He did it with all the backroom staff, and the playing side by refusing loans or experience. So I can.

Agree, doesn't add up and is just a cowardly excuse not to act.
If we are to believe Saddlebrains it wasn't King that shut down Alan Browne for example. Sounds like we were close and then Robins ghosted him when eggs were in another basket. There's no way of knowing what King says yes or no to for certain.
Ā
I havenāt thought about other managers and I donāt really want to. Iāve loved following the Sky Blues under Mark Robins. If youād told in the Northampton season that weād win a trophy at Wembley, get promoted, have players like Gyokeres and Hamer in our shirt, watch matches like Notts County and Wolves away, go to Wembley multiple times, I wouldnāt have believed you. If itās the end of the road with Mark, I hope it happens between him and Doug with thanks, dignity and respect for Mark, especially if itās true he has lost his mum recently.

Were just going to pretend that after seven years Robins has decided he doesnāt need loans or experience all on his own?
I know youāve got an agenda now mate but careful what you wish for. I have seen nothing from King that makes me confident in his ability to pick a manager.
Ā
The team Carsley had was ridiculous. Canāt play like that in the championshipā¦in menās football. See England v Greece.

This is essentially where Iām at too. Rock and a hard place

There's no agenda other than to not get relegated. I've seen teams that look completely fucked before and this is one, people burying their heads in the sand that it's nothing to do with Robins won't change that.
I know you think he's done some weird shit this season from stuff you've written in match threads so I think it's just denial from most.
Relegation would be an absolute disaster and it's a real possibility atm.

itās too late to shut down the crazy hysteria on here, but yeah- itās not nice the way that weāre now stripping Robins of his his dignity by asking people to name his successor while heās still in the job. Itās been a wake up call to how shit a proportion of our fans actually are to be honest.

I do. I just think Robins has been hamstrung and so will the next guy. Careful you donāt put everything on Robins when it seems a lot of it is King.

Most managers operate in limitations in this league.
Robins only success is essence was when he worked under Sisu so he can hardly barometer this owner against them for putting constraints on him.

So what? When results decline and performances are failing then fans will want a change. Itās normal.

This may be a silly question, and itās likely one youāll sidestep, but Iāll ask anyway- do you think that Robins should be given time to turn it around?

Seems to me this shit show started when we got an owner who was having his name chanted, and decided he knew best how to manage a football club.
Something he had previously admitted he knew nothing about.
So in essence the people to blame, are the dozey barstewards singing that stupid song.
(sorry couldnāt resist the last sentence).

It's been far more toxic since the song was booed.
Our atmosphere has been truly pathetic ever since that moment.

No, results have been poor before and it didnāt have an impact.
To be honest itās probably just a cycle thing, itās normal enough when a club grows for the atmosphere to change, as you have a bigger proportion who are attracted to come along and have the mindset āgo on then, entertain me & score four, or Iāll just sit here in silence and maybe even do a bit of booing at the endā.
