That comment was his justification for sacking Robins.

So hy his own admission he made the wrong decision.

But ultimately, he was explaining his sacking.

What he said has come true and it would have under Robins or any manager.

No he wanted to avoid being on 26 points which he hasn't managed to achieve with super frank

 

[pusbccfc]

Sure but I trusted him to get it right , no issue whatsoever

Depends what you consider right. He's been given more money than the vast majority of managers at this level and alongside Austin recruited what seems a very average side.

A new manager is now in a position where he needs to get this average side moving.

It's not that average when you consider where we finished last season with much of the same squad .

And you can blame doug for not paying cal his worth

Absolutely. He worded it poorly. He was justifying sacking a manger who ultimately played a huge part in leading us to 24 points at Christmas.

Doug should have had the new manager in early and took too long for me personally.

 

[Sick Boy]

since king has come in we’ve regressed as a club on the pitch

fancy training ground means fuck all if the team ain’t good enough

We'd have likely sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January with SISU in charge.

Absolutely. In hindsight he should have given O'Hare the contract.

Doug should stay away from the football side and appoint a proper man to take care of the football club

 

[pusbccfc]

We'd have likely sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January with SISU in charge.

If we had sold Gyokeres in that January window under SISU we wouldn't have been anywhere near the play offs.

He should have kept Boddy but people used to hound him on here.

 

[Evo1883]

Who came in for him ?

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Absolutely. In hindsight he should have given O'Hare the contract.

Don't think O'Hare wanted to stay.

 

[Sick Boy]

Who came in for him ?

They'd have most certainly been interest at the inevitable knocked down price.

 

[Evo1883]

Don't think O'Hare wanted to stay.

He did the club offered him far less than the top earners

 

[Evo1883]

All guess work ofcourse mate tbh

 

[Sick Boy]

All guess work ofcourse mate tbh

There was no money left at that point, we'd have had to have got it from somewhere.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Think he was going to go to a club with a better chance of going up than us . It's all to late now.

 

[GIMOC]

We are on 24 points because of the horrendous start to our season.

Are you thick or something?

King said he sacked robins because he didn’t want to be on 26 points at xmas

we are 24

took 9 points from a possible 24 since he sacked him

 

[RegTheDonk]

He'll probably say there's the 12 days of Xmas so talk to me after the Norwich game

 

[GIMOC]

We'd have likely sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January with SISU in charge.

more bullshit

if we were, they would have gone 1st jan

common knowledge we weren’t selling either in January that year

 

[Sick Boy]

They were hardly going to sell off 2 of the club's main assets towards the end of takeover negotiations ffs.

so you’ve just contradicted your own point

you said sisu would sell but we didn’t despite king not taking over till mid Jan

 

[Captain Dart]

are you thick?
He sacks robins because he didn’t want us to be on 26 points at xmas

we are on 24

it’s on him for coming out with rubbish like that

spouting rubbish

He made himself a hostage to fortune with that comment.

 

[Sick Boy]

so you’ve just contradicted your own point

you said sisu would sell but we didn’t despite king not taking over till mid Jan

The King deal was announced on the 10th January, so at that point (1st JAN), they'd have been in advanced negotiations with King. If they'd gone ahead and sold two of their main assets, the whole takeover would have been in jeopardy.

 

[GIMOC]

He made himself a hostage to fortune with that comment.

but you have many on here hanging onto his every word its pathetic

 

[pusbccfc]

Are you thick or something?

King said he sacked robins because he didn’t want to be on 26 points at xmas

we are 24

took 9 points from a possible 24 since he sacked him

He was justifying it and worded it poorly. It will come back to bite him but ultimately what he said was right.

 

[pusbccfc]

but you have many on here hanging onto his every word its pathetic

And people like you who blame everything on him.

It is possible to blame multiple people GIMOC.

 

[alexccfc99]

My only gripe with the owner currently is that he thinks this side is good enough - He can rectify that in January if he chooses to

Austin was a SISU appointment, however his position is becoming untenable and if this side hasn't improved by May then I expect action to be taken in regards to his employment

 

[GIMOC]

The King deal was announced on the 10th January, so at that point (1st JAN), they'd have been in advanced negotiations with King. If they'd gone ahead and sold two of their main assets, the whole thing would have been in jeopardy.

what you talking about?

if sisu were gonna sell them 2 it would have been straightaway

they were never selling them 2 in Jan

 

[GIMOC]

And people like you who blame everything on him.

It is possible to blame multiple people GIMOC.

you just said that was nothing wrong with what he said

tell me what was right with what he said?

 

[pusbccfc]

you just said what was wrong with what he said

tell me what was right with what he said?

That you get to Christmas on those points and season is over.

That's exactly the case.

 

[GIMOC]

what was right?

 

[Sick Boy]

what you talking about?

It's really not that difficult to understand. If you're in advanced stages of takeover negotiations, the current owners aren't going to risk the whole thing falling apart.

 

[bigfatronssba]

what you talking about?

if sisu were gonna sell them 2 it would have been straightaway

they were never selling them 2 in Jan

Yeah it’s not like they tried to sell O’Hare (who you think is amazing) to Burnley in summer 2022 is it?

 

[GIMOC]

That you get to Christmas on those points and season is over.

That's exactly the case.

so the season we got playoff final wasn’t the same scenario?
