Can I just say I hate referring to the squad like Pokémon by calling them “the deck”

[Matt smith]

Is this group of players really good enough to go up though

 

[CovInEssex]

What's with referring to the squad as a 'deck'

 

[procdoc]

Decided to listen. Robins being proper chucked under the bus

 

[sw88]

Austin downs deflated himself

 

[AJB1983]

We said to mark, you get in an elite assistant, we interview for them, they say they want the top job so they can’t get them over the line, so therefore it’s mark’s head cos he said he couldn’t work with Adi again?

 

[clint van damme]

"In the lower leagues the manager does a bit of everything because they cant afford it".

"We have put in all of the infrastructure in for the Championship. I was happy to continue with the manager if he could get somebody in but he couldn't get it done and it put us at risk"

You honestly believe Chris,Ramsey was killed off coming in by King.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Why is Del Boy in charge of recruitment?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Tim fisher style counter attack here

 

[shmmeee]

Ha no loans a Doug policy confirmed. You don’t start the answer like that otherwise.

 

[David O'Day]

He has a point, proper good innovative tacticians are head coaches in their 30s there days sometimes even younger

 

[shepardo01]

He has very indirectly slagged off our new coaches.

Yes, he has!

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

What's with referring to the squad as a 'deck'

Deck of cards and Mark played his hand poorly.

 

[jto123]

Does Doug really believe this side is top six with the midfield??? Only part that seems slightly deluded to me.

 

[jim20]

He’s lying

 

[TomRad85]

He has very indirectly slagged off our new coaches.

The ones he forced on Robins? Surely not

 

[Jamesimus]

Dean's not a talker is he

Sounds like a proppa geeza

Nice of him to explain the recruitment process that all sensible posters on here were already aware of though!

 

[CovInEssex]

We said to mark, you get in an elite assistant, we interview for them, they say they want the top job so they can’t get them over the line, so therefore it’s mark’s head cos he said he couldn’t work with Adi again?

It needs clarifying, why would someone interview for Assistant Manger then say they wanna be number 1?

 

[chiefdave]

Someone needs to ask him why if he was against the changes to the coaching setup and believes that caused all the issues he’s keeping the same structure

 

[Domo]

Loan players might perform better than players on contract? I'd be fine with that

 

[Great_Expectations]

Dean isn’t the sharpest tool.

 

[covcity4life]

Never heard a squad referred to as a deck before so much

Agree with his point about loans though. People just used it as a stick to hit king with imo

 

[Grendel]

Why is Del Boy in charge of recruitment?

Because Robins is his mate - or was

 

[clint van damme]

This is going to be so divisive. Theyve really fucked up here.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Doug shot his bolt early here - the rest of the hour cant possibly stand up to that first 5-10 mins

 

[Lee_20]

This has been extremely eye opening so far if all true. Don’t see why you would publicly say these things if not!

Initially a bit taken aback by his veracity, but he seems a bit pissed and I agree, why would he expose himself if there wasn't any truth? Certainly, the Viveash exit was always a strange one.

 

[chiefdave]

this is like prime ministers questions when one side isn’t there, ‘it’s all the other lots fault’

 

[Ian1779]

I want to hear Robins version of events.

 

[Grendel]

Dean isn’t the sharpest tool.

Robins demanded he got the job

 

[sw88]

announce lampard

If that’s how he closes I am throwing my ST card

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Any chance we could extend this interesting stuff.

Austen doing it so that's clearly where Kings pickedvit up from.

 

[Evo1883]

I'm staggered how these 2 have just thrown mark robins under the bus and everybody thinks it's literally that straight forward

 

[Nick]

Interesting question about loans to Dean Austin.

"Complications around loans, we have bought a lot of players. With the past owners we had to get loans in to function".
"The problem is that the calibre of players we are looking for has gone up, loan players are going to expect to come in and play"
"Ayari came in, really liked him, went to Mark with it. Mark was really happy with him and he thought Ayari would be a good player. Ayari didn't play as much football as he wanted. His agent and club get involved and they want him to have more minutes. They took him back to go to Blackburn"
