Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread (30 Viewers)

[GaryJones]

What makes you believe this is all 100% true?

You can only judge a person by what they say & do so we will see - overall I was pleasantly surprised by him.

[Gint11]

That's weird as well.

Just back the club / team.

Why’s it weird? He owns the club / team

 

[sw88]

Lampard and Viveash dream team

that’s the only combination I’d consider Lampard for

John Terry to come in and join the affair

 

[Ring Of Steel]

We learned a lot in the first five minutes, even if you don’t believe it it says something. After that not so much.

we learned King’s take on events, like I say though that’s all we gained. Theres no way anyone is getting sued or taken for defamation in a situation like this, so unless someone starts digging through emails, messages etc to find out exactly what happened, we are not really any the wiser. But that’s ok, I always quite liked King. I just don’t think that one side of the story is enough to be making conclusions.

One thing I do know, this whole fiasco is the biggest clusterfuck at the club for years, and we are in BIG trouble.

 

[Briles]

The only weird thing he appeared to imply was that having no manager was better than having Robins. When he was pressed on why he had nobody lined up to replace him he hid behind the "well that would've been disrespectful" line. Something didn't sit right with that

He said he didn't want to go behind Robins back to interview.

I am sure they have a good idea and a shortlist though.

 

[Gibbo]

Just heard that Dean Austin is there also.

He's got a lot to answer for

 

[Mr Panda]

Did he actually look like he was going to cry @Sky Blue Pete ?

 

[clint van damme]

Did You back sisu?

Nonsense.

Well, the other side of the story hasn't exactly been kept secret on here for a long time has it?

 

[steve101]

That was an interesting insight and fair play for being so open. I don't think many other clubs would have this.
I never expected that Robins was behind Vivash leaving. Still would have expected a more positive send off for Vivash on the CCFC media though.
If the players fitness is at premier league level, why do they look so lack lustre on the pitch.
I don't think many of the coaches will be confident in keeping their jobs after this.

 

[Nick]

Just not for me.

 

[Gint11]

Did You back sisu?

No

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I mean I believe DK. He did his talking and showed his belief when he gave them both 4 year contracts, he showed his backing - We made our minds up and made our own assumptions

It’s because fans would believe anything other than Robins being at fault for anything.

Robins has had the backing and support. I understand

If you think everything he said is true, or if you think everything he said is a lie you're mad.

I think the truth lies somewhere in between.

For example, I think he's probably right about what happened with Robins and Adi, but I don't believe for one minute they couldn't have got a decent assistant in and think they actively made sure it wouldn't happen

I don’t believe everything he said, but if King is going to make such public pronouncements, he better be telling the truth because all it takes is for MR to rubbish it in public.

There were 2 fundamental truths that believe to be case that is regarding MR choose all his signings and he chose the coaching setup rather than DK or Dr Roberts.

One story I’d like to clarify is the info wars regarding the potential number 2 replacement. One set of ITKs claimed that Robins wanted a Ramsey as #2 and was refused (@usskyblue) and the other said it was Robins who refused it (@Saddlebrains). Apologies if I’m @‘ing the wrong people.

Likewise with the experienced pro part, where DK said they’ve not refused players which contradicts ITK information from Saddles regarding Matty James.

 

[Nick]

They need to stop calling him DK .

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Lost his confidence in Robins coaching abilities, saw the gap between what was before with AV and now. Gave Robins the chance to change it and he didn't, only one winner.

 

[wingy]

Interesting to hear the views of Dean around the loan's particularly Wilson Esbrand -Ayari and the rest!

 

[clint van damme]

No

So you didn't back those owners (and rightly so).

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Well, the other side of the story hasn't exactly been kept secret on here for a long time has it?

“on here”

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

If DK had lied tonight about the MR situation, then players and staff would know it, and he'd be hung out to dry. Did himself no harm at all tonight imo.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

“on here”

I'm not saying all of it's true. But clearly a narrative from the other side of this has been pushed from somewhere as well/

I can honestly think of worse things that have happened to our club over the past few years than this!!
Dare I mention - Sisu - Sixfields for starters!

 

[hill83]

Did You back sisu?

There we are

 

[julzrob]

It was a case of ' It's my club and you do what I want, even though I do not know a lot about football but I am a business manager.'

 

[Nick]

Who's this Claudio fella?

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

I dont. I believe he stopped the Ramsey appointment

Probably knew he was getting rid of Robins, why appoint a new manager who would then get rid of Ramsey and have to be paid off

 

[clint van damme]

There we are

Eh?

 

[lewys33]

DK, we love you really

 

[ms639]

Atmosphere in the room has gone from deeply toxic at the start to more understanding.

Extremely candid on why we’ve ended up where we have with the coaching structure and seems that was MRs choice, felt the energy in the room completely change after that admission.

[Ring Of Steel]

Nonsense.

Oh we’re in great shape. No manager, no manager in sight, no assistant manager, coaches that the owner just basically said are crap, huge division amongst the fanbase and an owner who has just made any applicant think twice about getting involved with this toxic shitshow. What’s not to like

 

[clint van damme]

Which I can believe. But which also shows this has been in the pipeline for a while.

 

[hill83]

Eh?

Your eyes are full of tears about Robins you are bringing up those absolute cunts.

 

[Gint11]

Did You back sisu?

No. Not sure what you’re getting at. SISU, in the main were bad owners who none of us trusted. Kings getting pelters for sacking Robins but I think it’s 100% the right choice and seems like he is trying to do the right thing for the club (unless everything he said was bullshit) but I don’t see it that way.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Did he actually look like he was going to cry @Sky Blue Pete ?

He looked nervous I think he was on the edge of a lot of things
