Doug King out (8 Viewers)

[skybluecam]

Fuck this set of players quite frankly. Hope they’re all sold in the summer.

Don’t call yourself a fan if you’re not gonna support the team. Embarrassing attitude.

I support the team. And that’s why I want new coaches and players and a new owner.

The reality is you have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. Why not give them a chance under a new manager?

Of course I will. I gave them a chance under the cavalcade of shite we had prior to robins.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Genuinely feels like civil war vibes on the topic of King, got the whole Loyalists vs the Robinarians thing going on. Things could get quite hairy at the CBS if King doesn’t play his cards right.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

That’s definitely gonna help the team

Fuck the team, cunts like Dovin and Kitching need to be broken and tormented for how much money they cost yet how utter wank they have performed.

That’s actually disgusting.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

That’s actually disgusting.

is it fuck. Think Doyle would have been complimentary about how they have performed? Being soft hasn’t worked on them. I said tormented for being shit not tortured.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

As mentioned though. There is only so long you can punch above your weight both in terms of transfers and league position.

There are so many examples of clubs trying to do it, under SISU we would have regressed very quickly again even with Robins.

That is the thing, the money spent on transfers has come from player sales (generally). If DK really expects to kick it with the big boys, parachute payments, etc. The level of funding has to go up and even if he does, that's when we end up in the shit again.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Get him out, hopefully Mike Ashley pounces

 

[BrisbaneBronco]

I wonder if he’ll still be seen as a positive owner when he sells us to Mike Ashley.

Don’t claim to be an ITK, but I do know he’s still waiting in the wings.

The investment in the stadium improvements wasn’t done just to be helpful.

The decision to sack MR is certainly the dumb fuckish thing MA would do

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

I'm assuming King has already someone lined up to come in at reasonably short notice, otherwise I question the timing of this.
If he hasn't got someone then I think we go from outsiders for relegation to something a bit more serious.

 

[Potbellypig]

Why are people so fucking toxic?

It’s Coventry City FC not Mark Robins FC

Calling for violence against the owner and all the players names is fucking embarrassing.

It's not even Coventry City FC, it's Doug King FC and like it or not, whatever he says goes.

 

[Para1140]

c**t King banner in the making for Sheffield United at home.

Everyone going to Sunderland. We need a chorus of one Mark Robins all game

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Are the club going to remove the ‘Robins is our king’ banner?

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I think Doug is having 2nd thoughts now. Getting absolute pelters from all angles and even neutrals.

 

[Para1140]

Robins wont be out of work very long. Well respected by a lot of other clubs who will want him if he wants another managers job.
Be interesting if he does whether he appoints Adi again as his assistant. If he does it tells us a lot about Adi going and who instigated it

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

King can fuck off

I wouldn’t blame MR if he takes a long time away from things.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Just a thought , if King does get the expected dogs abuse for this will he look to sell to Ashley ?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Glad youre all seeing the crow faced little narcissist for what he is and what people have been saying for a while now


Not glad that it's at the expense of our greatest ever manager cast aside like dog shit in a bag

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Sad fucking narcissistic c**t who has had a trembling bottom lip since his shitty little song hasn’t been sung.

Special mention to Dr Claire’s performance director’s contribution, the worst contribution from a Doctor since Harold Shipman.

Hull would be stupid not to bin off Walter and get Robins in

 

[chiefdave]

At least it seems to have stopped his brother tweeting

 

[GIMOC]

he has zero respect at the club as I’ve mentioned before

The players found out through Sky sports. very disrespectful

I think his ultimate objective was a season in the Premier League before handing over the torch to someone else.

I don't think we'll see him again in another job - through choice.

This particular chapter in MR's autobiography will make very interesting reading.

Did you see that back pass last night. Not Dovin’s fault.

Yep, he’s done well out of football and should be able to walk away.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Yet another poor decision, made in haste, without proper understanding or grasp of the situation. Handled in a cold, heartless manner that removes dignity from a true servant to OUR club.

Yes he's a businessman, but doesn't mean he needs to act like some sort of dictator. have a little class and compassion.

Based on his record of footballing decision making...I'm going to guess he doesn't know the next step, will be advised poorly and will not make steps to improve.

I hope I'm wrong, I really do.

That’s what happens when our club is owned by someone that hates losing at Monopoly

 

[AOM]

I'm gutted with the decision to get rid of Mark Robins, but the calls for violence or lynching Doug King at a fans forum are absolutely ridiculous

 

[stevefloyd]

To the tune of Doug King is a wanker

Doug King is a wanker
He hasnt got a clue
Doug King is a wanker
Wish his dad was too...

 

[covcity4life]

Most clubs in Europe operate a head coach model. Only really here that the manager role is still a thing isn't it?

 

[alfielloyd]

Robins losing his job became inevitable, indecisive, irrational and muddled. Relationships seem strained and results since we beat Leeds at home at the start of April have been very poor. Robins has been good for Cov and we have been good for him, after 7 years, perhaps unsurprisingly, he does seem to have run out of steam. He will be reimbursed generously and after a break he will likely get another job. Time to move forward.

 

[Flying Fokker]

Have to say…Isn’t it more important to back King now that he’s made the decision. It seems like people just want a struggle like we did with SISU.

Singing anti owner chants is so short-sighted and reactive. A few weeks ago people were calling for Robins to go. Now those who clearly didn’t are not going to do the club any good by protesting. The players will be even less confident if we have a toxic crowd /social media.

FWIW. I’ve always backed Robins. But he’s gone. We are a step further towards being a strong club due to his successes. Let’s not ruin this by having a vendetta against the owner. I for one will be enjoying the matches even less than of late and I’m not looking forward to that if fans become anti king.
