Director of Football (8 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Steve Austin, but will cost six million dollars to get him in.

Id prefer Jamie Sommers myself

This whole thing is a shit show, let's be honest.

In what way ?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

In what way ?

We've gone from being a circus of a football club, to a respected one after many years of embarrassment, and we're on the verge of going back to the former again.

Director's of football, Frank Lampard, Etc etc. It's all a complete shit show.

If Doug King appointed Sky Blue Sam as assistant manager next week I would barely blink.

 

[Rodders1]

Didn't Wise do something similar at Newcastle under Ashley?

Wise would be decent. Part of the exec team that helped Como get promotion to Serie A I think….

And the shit show would have just got worse if things had stayed the same.
We were regressing under Robins and his assistants and there was no evidence that he had the capability to halt the slide.
I'm sad that his reign ended in the way it has.

The data suggests the opposite & we would turn it around pretty soon.

Surely it’s Pendrey and Telfer?

Heard two great stories involving Telfer on Friday but can't really post either of them on here.

Thanks for letting us all know we’re missing out on some great stories though!

Some people have very short memories.

In his over 7 years with us we always finished higher in the league than the season before until his last full season with us. There was only one way better than losing the playoff final on penalties. And last season we were just a toenail away from beating Manchester United in the FA cup semi final. It would only have been our second FA cup Final in our history. The extra games took their toll.

This season it was well known we were light in midfield. On top of that Sheaf was missing through injury. Our results were markedly better once Sheaf was getting back to fitness.

Look at how many times people called for Robins to go just to see him turn things around. Look at how many players were deemed not to be good enough yet were brought together to continue our climb up the football league.

I have come to terms with losing Robins but I still don't agree with it. I will reserve judgement until I see what happens next. We have as much chance of pushing on in our quest of reaching the Prem as we do of going backwards. And it won't be easy.

King admits that he doesn't know much about football. So does he take a lucky dip or take advice from others? Hopefully he doesn't take advice from here as nearly everyone mentioned are both good and bad choices and this is from people who have spent all their lives watching football.

Well we'll never know now will we.

Steve Round is in line apparently according to football insider. Austin also a contender

Much rather Round looking at his CV. And Austin’s record here which hasn’t been great.

Coventry City considering move for ex-Arsenal figure

Steve Round is reportedly in the frame to become the Sky Blues' new sporting director, with Doug King weighing up another key appointment.

Austin’s record is nowhere near as bad as it gets made out to be. Prior to him coming him he regularly signed first team players on long term deals who never played more than a few games.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Harry Redknapp as part of the FL deal…

 

[clint van damme]

Can we get a director of getting King to shut the fuck up?
That nonsense he came out with today was fucking embarrassing. Don't need a history a CCFC history lesson from that pellet.

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

You know Doug has been a Cov fan his whole life right?

I’m not making any point in particular other than he’s genuine rather than just spouting crap

 

[rob9872]

I'm round can I apply?

He’s from Lowestoft. Not that it matters.

Your agenda has taken over logical thought. Pillock.

Haha! What a prick. Wednesday c**t

Can we just take a minute to give some credit to Rhys Carr.

He stepped up to take over in very difficult circumstances, and has done a very good job (imho)

He's done himself no harm at all. And shown that he has a good future in management / coaching at this level.

Agreed.

Is he fuck, he`s a Norwich fan, even celebrated when they scored against us last season IIRC.
They scored, camera panned to him fist pumping the goal!
