OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked (40 Viewers)

[mmttww]

I want someone running my club who has an idea on how a football club should be run.

Like putting in place a structure that's followed by elite clubs who win things all over Europe? I'm not blindly loving DK here but it's hard to argue he's doing the wrong things for the club.

I think Robins has had less and less influence over how the team plays and how the players perform, but we haven't been good enough since the semi-final and most clubs would have got rid before now.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Yet Again Doug has misread the room.

You probably don’t want an owner who reads the room of football fans constantly. Fickle and irrational.

It’s a bold move to sack Robins (not the decision I’d have made) and we better have a good replacement lined up to turn the ship around.

End of an era and in a state of shock.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Fully expect him to be back on work soon with AV at his side.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

He earned the right to more time to try and turn it around

Possibly

 

[Ccfcisparks]

It’s gonna be Boateng interim isn’t it…

 

[procdoc]

We are gonna end up with Fat Frank Fucking Lampard ain't we

 

[BananaFlats]

Fucking hell. Absolutely gutted.

I just pray that Doug doesn't get seduced by a 'name' like Lampard or Steven fucking Gerrard or some shit like that.

Just said the same on our WhatsApp group!

 

[Evo1883]

I really fear for who he brings in next.

I don't trust him to get it right tbh

 

[Bigelvesy]

Fucking gutted. Absolutely deserved at least the season, especially considering the turn around in the last couple of weeks. An individual error and an offside goal prevented a win last night. Unbelievable decision. King can stick his fans forum up his arse. This didnt have the backing of the fans, and they dont even have a replacement lined up. Joke

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Should be King and his coaching staff fucking off first.

 

[Sbarcher]

Not another statue?

 

[lord_garrincha]

We are gonna end up with Fat Frank Fucking Lampard ain't we

He'll get it right one day... look at Wayne Roo... oh fuck it!

 

[shmmeee]

Everyone thinking we’re getting a tactical genius foreign coach when we’ll get an internal appointment or some nobody who did an FA course.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Absolute stupid decision. Gutted.

 

[clint van damme]

Surely a new man will want his team around him maybe this is the reason robins didn’t get a new assistant

This has been planned for months.
The new coaching set up wasn't put in place by or for Robins.
Though there's still dildos on here who think it was

 

[craigus12]

He had plenty of goodwill, there was barely anyone calling for his head last night. I'm really shocked at this decision. I'm hoping Doug has got a good replacement lined up because if they don't start well, it'll be back to the merry-go-round of managers.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

It’s gonna be Boateng interim isn’t it…

It will be , reading between the lines as regards the coaching staff it's clear that Boateng will step in

 

[Macca]

Going to Sheff Utd

 

[better days]

This is complete madness
It will be our loss

 

[SBT]

The Club will take its time to appoint a successor to Mark, although the position will be that of Head Coach working within the new structure set up by the Club over the last two years.

I guess we’re about to find out how good these coaches are then!

 

[lewys33]

Surely someone lined up. They will all go then one would think/hope

apparently not according to the statement (to both points)

 

[harvey098]

The majority will not care either way

Not based on the comments on here, my wattsapp groups and social media comments.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Wonder what the Simms story is and whether that is related to it?

 

[lord_garrincha]

Forget about a strong manager coming in with his team... The statement implies more of a PE teacher working to the system.

 

[Otis]

Seriously?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Douglas better get the next decision very very right, or his relationship with the fans will forever be toxic.

I wouldn’t trust him to run a fucking bath

 

[skyblueiom]

Robins deserves so much more than that, fucking disgrace.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I guess we’re about to find out how good these coaches are then!

Welcome back fella

 

[Pusb1]

honestly feels like a family member has died. The stability Robins brought our club has now vanished.

We are Coventry City. We will never be a top 15 Premier League Club. Robins brought us the happiest times of my life watching Coventry.

2 Promotions. 1 FA Cup Semi Final and some outstanding football

We are all a victim of our own fickle expectations. Absolutely disgraceful decision.

I also hope our players are happy this morning. Their shambolic performances have brought this on.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Mid match opinions aren’t valid outside 90 mins

I think deep down a lot wanted a change

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Robins deserves so much more than that, fucking disgrace.

Build a statue

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The majority will not care either way

Well, you’ve wanted it in nearly every season since he was appointed. You have your wish

 

[Malaka]

TBF I thought he has taken us as far as he could. It's been a terrific ride with some lifelong memorable moments, of which I respect him and truly grateful. Taking emotion out of it, I think he lost the changing room. The players do not seem to give a fuck. Taking Vivesh away was a massive mistake.

 

[Mr Panda]

I’ve had an absolute shocker of a week with restructures at work, my house not selling but this one makes me the most sad.

In truth I’ve been frustrated this season given the backdrop of expectation, the lack of identity in our play and what I’ve seen as indecision during games but there was always a little faith some magic could happen and I thought this week could have really continued to kickstart our season.

He’s brought the only notion of success I’ve experienced following Coventry. All I’d ever known was 17th place finishes, relegation and strikers seemingly never being able to make double figures.
