OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked (16 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Performance director. Probably largely looking at athletic performance of players I imagine, but I don’t really know.

Her background is psychology. She was put forwards for a splash in the Cov Telegraph and has been mentioned as deciding along with Robins on the staffing as well as working with the recruitment team on ensuring new signings have the right mentalities.

and you're doing mine in, crying like you're the only one who got bad news, blasting other fans like a toddler who spilled his Vimto. Guess we're stuck with each other.

Me and you went through this earlier , but you decided to do some susie dent shit and pull me up in a word used in a chat with somebody else .

I get it , you understand why the club let him go

We don't need to continue chatting about it ?

yeah, her job is to give the players the best chance and getting prepared. Her job is not as some cretins think related to tactics on the pitch.

Does she have a role in recruitment aswell ? She mentioned something about only bringing in certain types of players with certain attitudes or traits ? Could be wrong

No one was happier than when King took over from SISU and lets face it no one would want them back.
Since the takeover however, I have slowly been starting to become disillusioned with the King regime. The shock of Adi leaving without a hint of explanation and no glowing words about our most successful Assistant Manager ever. The wall of silence about everything whilst claiming transparency.
It has been evident that MR has been eased out of a great deal of his previous responsibilities. Every now and then, things have slipped out. MR has said he no longer has the final say in transfers or any involvement in loans. The one that was a real classic was he could not discuss an injury due to data protection.
MR has been our most successful Manager since Jimmy Hill and there are no more on that list in modern times. Anyone trying to belittle his achievements know very little about football. We are averaging over 25k at home and selling record numbers of shirts because of the last management group, and their continuous success, nothing to do with King. IMHO, MR is a Manager and Adi was the main coach. It is well documented that they made Vik, Callum, Ben Josh and Gus the players they are today
I said at the start of the season if it a'int broke don't fix it. That is exactly what King has done. We needed evolution and we've got revolution. Unfortunately, history tells you that most revolutions usually end up with a worse outcome.
We have been here before creating a tsunami of success then through stupid Owner decisions falling back to mediocrity. Refusing to give Jimmy Hill the contract he wanted and allowing George Curtis to move upstairs brought our brilliant futures to a halt.
King has one chance at redemption bringing in a Head Coach that is better than what has gone. Don't think the favourite Frank Lampard is the answer.

I'm defo on the Robbins “in” camp. See previous posts. But the owner has a decision to make. He must be doing it in the best interests of the club in his opinion - which is in the same interests as us all.

So the choice was to either stick with Robbins, a single point of failure, whom has got us a kick away from the Prem and FA Cup final, or change the structure to sustain the club in terms of the “model” ala clubs like Brighton whom will aim to slot managers / head coaches into a structure that is already in place. Long term thinking.

Option 1 if got us the Prem obviously the correct answer - its a huge shame for Mark. Sentiment aside - DK must think option 2 is the optimal choice for the club.

We have to move on and support the players and fingers crossed this works.

There's an emergency phone in on CWR with Clive and Oggy.

Normally I would laugh at that sentence...

Colchester sack Roberts

I don't know who Susie Dent is but...

 

[Saddlebrains]

What’s with the name calling? You’re quick to criticise others when they throw insults

He'll be in my DM's apologising again soon probably

 

[Evo1883]

I don't know who Susie Dent is but...

She's the women who explains what words mean on countdown

 

[Saddlebrains]

Do you think that's working then at the moment? Because most players have been a shadow of their former selves this year

 

[Perryccfc]

But he's not a woman so it goes against their agenda

I have no agenda. I genuinely didn’t know the COO had premier league experience.

Don't tar me with a brush, to suit your agenda.

Male or female, she clearly has a lot of say at the club, and since she’s been there many of the things that have happened it can genuinely be argued don’t appear to be a good move. However, time will tell I guess.

 

[David O'Day]

Will I fuck, I'll admit I was wrong to say sorry as you are a proper nasty piece of work.

 

[David O'Day]

Don't know, the problem at the moment is with the tactics on the pitch and the person who was in charge of that was Robins.

 

[Evo1883]

@mmttww I wouldn't take much notice of the anger today , emotions are high and people are saying things they might not mean ..

So apologies susie

 

[clint van damme]

Nothing other than Dougs had this in mind since the second Adi went in my view

I sound like a stuck record, but this is Dougs toy. No one else is allowed to tell him how he should play with it. There were some grubby fingerprints on it (Robins and Viveash) from the last people who owned the toy and he cant have that because he wants his new toy to be all shiny and only his, and if anyone offers advice or help on his toy or goes against how he should play with his toy then they are told to get fucked

He won't like the ego bashing he's getting at the moment put it that way. Couldn't wait to get himself on Talksport when it was going well. Hiding away like a little bitch now he's being asked by media outlets for comment now he's made this decision

Think he's only hiding because he's worried about getting bummed to death by some of his fan boys on here.

Option 2 is best if it works. No one should be bigger than the club, and having a model where the entire future of the club isn't dependent on one man is sensible. But there is a massive if in there. I'm not sure the current model is working, and if it isn't then we've just got rid of the one person that knew how to make us win games

 

[Saddlebrains]

Say that again without crying

 

[Saddlebrains]

But she is 'performance director'

The players aren't performing at their maximum no?

So if you're saying, and fairly, that Robins takes blame, then surely the woman physically given the role.to ensure players perform at their peak, and aren't, should take some of the flak no?

 

[bigfatronssba]

@mmttww I wouldn't take much notice of the anger today , emotions are high and people are saying things they might not mean ..

So apologies susie

I think we all have to remember that even if we disagree, and tempers get flared, it just shows that we all care about the club, and for that matter, Robins.

Yes ofcourse , but dougs still a c**t

If she gets it wrong they sack Colin Murray.
It's the new structure that's all the rage in Europe.

Is that her actual job then? Physical performance?

There seems to be some things saying she does all psychiatric stuff on them

 

[David O'Day]

Say that again without crying

Why would anyone cry over anything you say?

You are a c**t, David Collins told you some of my personal information and you decide you'd post it on her to try and "dox" me.

I do feel for you, your whole purpose as a City fan was based on your relationship to Richard Overson and now he has stopped giving you info and your "itk" persona has ended you are are trying to find a niche to allow you stay relevent.

It's sad that a man with a family acts like this

That's not what "performance" means in that role.

That's a massive flounce that is, bigger than Christmas. Got Samaritans number if you need it you absolute wet lettuce

Don't know, the problem at the moment is with the tactics on the pitch and the person who was in charge of that was Robins.

It's such fine margins. 3 game unbeaten run. Torp would have been picked to start if he wasn't carrying a knock. That would have made all the difference, because Saka looked lost in the middle.

We then have Rudoni give away the most ridiculous of goals and then to top it all, their player in an offside position hits a ball that takes a heavy deflection and puts us 2 nil down.

I honestly think we would have won if that 2nd goal hadn't have gone in.

We could have been sitting on a 4 game unbeaten run and 3 wins out of 4.

But we didn't. It's fine margins. We didn't play at all well though, for sure.

I think Robins deserved more time.

 

[mmttww]

...so apologies susie

 

[Grendel]

This head coach, for me, can only be being pushed by Dr Claire. Doug, with zero footballing experience wouldn’t have come up with this, and she appears to be the only person at the club with Premier League experience.

Oh nonsense. Another with issues with women in authority.

 

[harvey098]

Oh did you not share the Gentlemans Excuse me thread? Disappointed.

thought about it G. Would’ve taken up my whole interview going through all of them

 

[nicksar]

yep.
On reflection he seemed lost without Viveash and Lawrence, so maybe it's time.

What a great era though.

I'm similar tbh and felt more anxious when Adi Viveash was sacked,was hoping Mark Robins could turn things around but last night I left with the distinct feeling the players were trying to get him sacked.

 

[David O'Day]

That's a massive flounce that is, bigger than Christmas. Got Samaritans number if you need it you absolute wet lettuce

That the best you got?

 

[Saddlebrains]

That the best you got?

No, I could be really nasty and make you cry if I wanted but I'm not that kinda bloke.

I was asking serious questions as to why you think the performance director shouldn't be held partly accountable for performances 'literally her job title' and you start with the insults and paranoia

So let's leave it there shall we, for the sake of everyone else on here, it's not Eastenders

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

If it wasnt for an enlarged toe nail at Wembley last April, he would certainly still be in a job

Or put the VAR lines in the right place.

Yes but isn’t she just involved in nutrition, ensuring they do proper recovery, sports psychology etc? I very much doubt she’s making sure they get tortured after every loss and telling them to eat McDonalds breakfasts.

I was under the impression that she is there to give us the incremental kind of advantages we can get with the science behind nutrition, rest, psychology etc? I might be wrong, feel free to explain what she is actually doing as I don’t know! I know her job title could be misleading some.

I generally don’t think we’ve been bad enough to warrant too many people getting flak other than the players and potentially the recruitment team tbh.
