One other thing to take from last night was how involved Austin actually is

never would you expect head of recruitment to be part of the panel alongside king

is he the one advising King from a footballing side? If so we are bang in trouble

his cv is not great. he has had more positions than lati. additionally, interesting that he completed a course in technical directors licence

Not sure why so many are having a pop at Stone Cold Dean Austin. I didn’t disagree with most of what he said about recruitment and when asked about the lack of loans he gave a good insightful view into how they work.

Also recruitment at most clubs now is data driven. He even said he went to King with a couple of ambitious players that were just too expensive. That shows to me that his intentions are right as far as helping us improve on the pitch

hey?

no one really thought much about austin

All of a sudden he like king right hand man.

king has no football experience. Is he being guided by Austin? Austin cv is shocking. everywhere he’s been he has landed just a few months

If he is king go to person then we should be worried

King literally said about "advice" didn't he?

Yesterday showed just how accurate assumptions that become facts can be.

Who else from the backroom staff would you bring instead of Austin?

austin seems to be king go to person

His course shows that as much

Im saying his cv is far from great. since he’s come in we’ve spent 40 mill on what exactly?

Just feel like there's another round of sensationalism coming here about a member of staff. We've seen the performance director questioned with little to no substance, we've been told players are refusing to play with little evidence to suggest that's the case.

Something gets squashed and we move on to something else.

Maybe it's just that simply King is a human being and didn't want to go into the firing line alone and wanted some support on questions that are better suited for the Head of Recruitment? Part of the downfall of Robins is that we didn't sign a CM right? Who better to answer those questions?

He's got no football experience apart from being a professional that played in the top fight for most if not all of his career

months of slating Austin and the recruitment on here and all it took was him being prepared to be Kings sidekick last night for people to get upset if anyone questions his role or effectiveness 😂

If you owned a football club and you employed an ex PL player why wouldn't you sometimes bounce things off of them?

Chill out David Icke, not everything is sign of a massive web of conspiracy.

Austin is heading the recruitment team it's pretty normal for him to be involved, especially when in a fans forum where there may be questions about transfers.

People might take you more seriously if you had some quality control in picking your targets.

To me he came across as a bit like the teachers pet and was happy to throw Robins under the bus whilst sucking up to Doug

Didn’t hear him talk about Robins. Just explained his role and the issues with keeping relationships going with clubs when you don’t use the players you said would be starting

So people have moved on from Dr. Claire now that the answer to Lindens question proved she makes sure the players go to bed at a sensible time and don’t eat McDonalds every day?

She's about the only one that didn't get thrown under the bus last night.

It's all a bit weird. If anything the level of defensiveness over her makes me ask even more questions.

whats he done since?

Failed as a manager and coach now trying his hand as a technical director

like I said. more positions than lati

if he’s king go to person than surely we would want someone more qualified?

Funny thing about all of this is Dean was brought in by Dave and Robins not King.

If he is as bad as you would say surely that’s again another thing Robins has gotten wrong which has cost him his job.

don’t think they bought him to be more senior than just recruitment

feels like Austin is far more involved than we originally thought not sure why you think it’s sensationalist

it’s a valid point

IF he is and there is no evidence that he is King's go to person. Austin only talked about recruitment.

You are going down a rabbit hole here - he was recruited at the recommendation of Robins
