OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked (63 Viewers)

[edgy]

We've gone from being one of the most stable clubs in the football league, to total chaos.

This is a tad extreme.

I don't trust him to get it right tbh

Me neither. I feel like he’s going to try and get a name in, which is why I worry it’s gonna be Lampard

 

[Otis]

Massive mistake , Thanks for some great memories

Agree. I think it's a terrible mistake and am now expecting a new manager merry go round, with us constantly changing managers over the next few years.

Crazy.

 

[Sick Boy]

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

Welcome back!

 

[skybluegod]

It's a sad day in terms of sentiment for the club. Robins is without doubt the best manager we have had for decades and saved the club at an important time in our history.

However, Doug wants to run the club a certain way which is his right. Ultimately he set the target of getting promoted to the play offs 3/5 seasons which we aren't even close to achieving. And with the way he views the structure of the club he feels there will be a better option out there.

Sunderland have had success with a similar model so far this year, let's hope we appoint the right person.

Thank you Robins for some of the greatest days in our history.

Can someone get a handle on the threads, there’s about 50 all discussing the same topic

 

[Nick]

Christ, I'm shocked. I actually thought the wins would have bought him more time.

Although I think with the international break coming up it gives a new manager time.

 

[Pricey1984]

Gutted. The last part of this feel good era gone.

Well done to all the spineless gutless tossers of a group of players. The 7 tears before this were superb. These pricks have cost him a job.

Good luck to the next boss trying to get a song out of these prima Donnas.

We'll be having this same chat in less than a year when the next one leaves

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Me neither. I feel like he’s going to try and get a name in, which is why I worry it’s gonna be Lampard

My hope based on recruitment patterns is it’s someone from the continent. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Stevie G who’s about to be sacked in Saudi though!

 

[The CableGuy]

MR brought more success to the club in 7 years then I've witnessed in many decades before that. A terrible decision. Last night was disappointing but IMO he deserved more time and still had credit in the bank.

Thanks for everything, Mark.

 

[Grendel]

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

Which is a tiny fraction.

People move on.

The football was becoming very turgid and last night a lot of ST holders clearly did not go.

The results have been poor for a long time and King is not going anywhere - he would have gone against Luton but for the comeback.

Last night the players did not respond and it would have just carried on.

 

[Sick Boy]

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

The writing was on the wall when the alleged request for the AM was turned down.

 

[mmttww]

Genuine question to people calling the decision a disgrace and all the rest of it: how long would you have given him, and why?

 

[shmmeee]

I think deep down a lot wanted a change

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

The timing is a bit strange, almost feels like the relationship between DK and MR completely fractured beyond repair after last night.

Perhaps he should've been given more time, but unfortunately I'm not sure this team's fortunes could be salvaged by MR. He's probably taken us as far as we can. The performances were awful and the results are looking far too difficult to come by.

Will always be grateful for everything he's done for the club.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Christ, I'm shocked. I actually thought the wins would have bought him more time.

Although I think with the international break coming up it gives a new manager time.

He should at least have had the Sunderland game as a last hurrah. That game is now a write off.

 

[Nick]

@Nick will be absolutely delighted, he’ll be sad at the same time as he won’t be able to make 17 threads after each game saying how bad he is

You might be able to take the posters of me off your wall now too. Your obsession is a bit strange

 

[SBT]

Welcome back fella

Welcome back!

We need stability in times of a constitutional crisis 🫡

Anyway - anyone fancy a rumble over the Coventry Telegraph?

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

He had Robins and Vivash doing a great job. And he has got rid of both.
If anyone here has faith in King picking a new manager,they need their head examined.
This owner will be the ruin of the club.
I hope he gets nothing but shit off the fans, every time he shows his smug face.

 

[Sick Boy]

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

I think it’s actually a possibility.

 

[SkyBluePower]

Perhaps Doug upset we didn’t sing that pathetic song about him last night.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

My hope based on recruitment patterns is it’s someone from the continent. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Stevie G who’s about to be sacked in Saudi though!

Not Stevie G ,I'd rather take Stevie Wonder

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Genuine question to people calling the decision a disgrace and all the rest of it: how long would you have given him, and why?

The season

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That sounds kinky

 

[skyblue025]

This looks premeditated to me and they were just waiting for an opportunity. All to do with the new coaching set up implemented by Dr Claire-Marie. The new role will be Head Coach rather than manager is telling.

 

[ccfcchris]

King is a successful businessman and I would imagine he has to be ruthless in his pursuit of that. He's demanding success for the club.

Time will tell if this is the right decision.

 

[RedSalmon]

Reminds me of when we got rid of Dave Sexton.

 

[napolimp]

A lot of Championship club fans appear to be in shock, around social media, and think it's a bad decision. Probably says a lot.

Apparently there is a fans forum arranged for next week

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

I know it’s not a popular take but I think we will improve as a team provided that the manager that comes in is decent and not someone like Lampard etc.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

He was lost for words last night. The writing was on the wall

 

[Otis]

Genuine question to people calling the decision a disgrace and all the rest of it: how long would you have given him, and why?

Til January. And because he has been brilliant for us and has turned it round before

 

[Terry_dactyl]

I will not be happy if he goes to fucking Cardiff.
Gutted…sort of.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

Lee Carsley?

 

[Nick]

A lot of Championship club fans appear to be in shock, around social media, and think it's a bad decision. Probably says a lot.

Not sure what it says, they haven't been watching all of our games since about April.
