I can't see - thankfully - us getting someone already employed in our own league like Eustace as we would have to pay compensation. The question I'd ask myself would be, "Is Eustace better than Robins?" The answer, for me, is no. I would imagine we will go for someone currently out of work, a...

Oh God. Eustace. Basically anyone who has ever played for us.

Even after a "third of the season" has gone? Fair enough.

No, I grasp it alright.

Yes, 17th in November. So, you're not going to settle for finishing 17th or below? If we do you'll be calling for the new manager's head?

Fine. Lowered expectations it is.

Of course not, but that's not the point. Teams do it, not just us. Doncaster did it last year. The hysterical on here but banging on for weeks to get Robins out, now they are willing to let the new guy be potentially worse than the manager we already had. It's madness. Why would you...

Haha.

We were 19th in November 2022. Finished 5th. No validity at all.

Have to disagree. People might not be explicity saying "free pass" but that's what they mean. There were a few comments yesterday advocating just that.

Absolutely spot on. I was saying this over and over yesterday. It is pointless sacking Mark if the new guy isn't going to improve on what King presumed he was going to achieve. All this "third of the season has gone so he gets a free pass" stuff is nonsense. And unacceptable.

Which would be remarkable considering the club statement said "will take its time to appoint a successor to Mark"

I absolutely do not want Lampard. However, given the other options such as Keane, Schumacher, etc then I absolutely do want him!

Absolutely. A random guy who played for us 25 years ago for 30 odd games. It's ridiculous. I hope this is just bullshit and not King thinking all will be forgiven by employing a Sky Blue "legend" as Mark's replacement.

The fact Keane is even being considered is insane.

Totally agree. When we were doing great, Robins was always ignored when new jobs arose. Carrick and Edwards seem to be the darlings of British managers. Robins is too old (at 54) and not good looking enough it seems.

TBH, I'm happy to take anyone, apart from: Keane Lowe Schumacher Butt Hopefully it is someone not on the betting list. I'd love us to go for a young foreign manager. Sure we won't though. I'd even take Lampard over the four names above.

I won't be cheerful if it is him.

Fingers crossed.
