Sake, I forgot to turn the radio off and I now have Bollywood music blasting out. Can feel my leg tapping along.

The job was advertised at head of first team coaching - perhaps they didn't think that it would be assistant manager

Fair point. Or maybe he was using to scout out a replacement without letting on to Robins?
I get the impression he’s not got a football fan background, and maybe is just thinking of names he’s heard, hence the Lampard links.

Adi played away and Squeaky is appalled?

Tbf I did share this at the time but nobody would have it.

 

[Alkhen]

Wouldn't blame him.

He's had the most outrageous dogs abuse for the past few days.

I don't care who you are, you'd struggle with it.

Yeah felt for him a bit when he had the quiver. But thought he came through ok.

Heightened emotions, backed into a corner your voice and nerves can betray you. Buxton has a funny story about losing his rag with a train conductor and his voice going all wobbly

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Anyone still listening to CWR? Someone’s done something to Doug, he sounds different.

Great singing voice though

 

[Nick]

My conspiracy would be that somebody who applied, tickled their fancy.

It was mentioned on the thread when he left by somebody else

His point about the calibre of people they interviewed for the no.2 position, but didn’t appoint as no one wanted to be a no.2 and wanted to be a no.1, why did they apply in the first place?

That rang alarm bells with me. Not saying he was blatantly lying, but there's some rewriting of events going on here. Basically, I'm great, it was all Mark's fault.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

He didn’t say they were crap. He said we need an elite tactician.

he repeatedly inferred that the coaches were substandard.

No shit

 

[Pusb1]

why were they?
Look at the viseah thread

if you really think robins and adi fell out over a newspaper article makes you so gullible it’s beyond gullible

@GIMOC who's our new manager going to be?

Same, my son just came into the room and I half expected him to say do you want any poppadoms sir lol

Cheers, didn't see that, but no reason to doubt it, just know I was shot down for it.

 

[Cov4life]

Admit it your sources were wrong. You therefore unintentionally misled fans.

I love this club, but i think going forward, any ‘ITK’S’ need to keep quiet, they are very much causing a lot of trouble at our club, as most of it appears as not true

That includes podcasts aswell.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Wouldn't this all make for a fantastic Netflix documentary.

Just saying.

 

[Saddlebrains]

I’m more interested to know why someone who bangs a drum for 90 minutes was elected to speak on my behalf

He doesnt even do it for that long

 

[fatso]

Adi played away and Squeaky is appalled?

That's actually closer to the truth than you'd imagine.

Saying no more.

Maybe rob could have a word with most of this forum Geoff

 

[GIMOC]

@GIMOC who's our new manager going to be?

A former employee told me Schumacher other day but players ready for Lampard and the fact king has changed his tune in past 10 mins from no contact with Lampard to admitting he has. I suspect that answers your question

 

[blunted]

@GIMOC gone abit quiet…Weird that

GIMOC said Robins and Vivash had fallen out.

 

[Evo1883]

Doug would love that

 

[Nick]

Didn't he say he's applied?

 

[Matt smith]

Didn't he say he's applied?

Schumacher, hope not

 

[usskyblue]

No need for supporters to rip lumps out of each other.

Why stop now m8?

 

[rob9872]

Didn't he say he's applied?

I was told only two interviewed were Carsley and Rosenior.

 

[GIMOC]

Not really

common theme in all this.

the last 18 months we’ve seen everyone bar Dean austin leave from Lawrence to robins to boddy

all under king regime

just think about that. why is that? when they all worked fine before that

Then you have Austin next to him tonight (unsure why) and king said the fitness of the players is the best it’s been according to the data down to the performance director

and if anyone wants context for that

all employees in the club are panicking now. coaches the lot

Austin probably didn’t want to attend tonihjt

the only person king praised was a person whose only been here 10 months

 

[Matt smith]

I was told only two interviewed were Carsley and Rosenior.

Rosenior? Surely not

 

[fernandopartridge]

Cheers, didn't see that, but no reason to doubt it, just know I was shot down for it.

It's not dissimilar to what I'd heard

 

[GIMOC]

Didn't he say he's applied?

he said at the start no contact to changing his tune not long after

look at turner quotes on Twitter

 

[rob9872]

Rosenior? Surely not

No idea, again I don't always post things up I hear. Tbh wouldn't be dead against it. Thought he did ok at Hull.

 

[Nick]

Interesting Rosenior would have applied....

 

[Saddlebrains]

Rather have Michael Schumacher tbh

 

[Nick]

he said at the start no contact to changing his tune not long after

look at turner quotes on Twitter

Yeah he said no contact between him and FL and then said he had applied for it but no contact.

Unless I am missing one?

 

[GIMOC]

GIMOC said Robins and Vivash had fallen out.

don’t say that. doesn’t go with the narrative

 

[Matt smith]

No idea, again I don't always post things up I hear. Tbh wouldn't be dead against it. Thought he did ok at Hull.

I’d be ecstatic with LR
