Are Wilson and Dovin injured?

Did he just pull 11 names out of a hat?

He’s not seen it for years

Most supporters weren't demanding a change (in manager) this time

Exactly. If a new manager were to get us promoted, it wouldn’t be as big an achievement as to what Robins did

We’ve had three consecutive seasons of flirting or being in the playoffs. It’s not an unreasonable expectation for that to continue

I don’t know. But he has paid the price for that whilst the players have got off Scot free

Let’s carry on letting them think everything is fine then. They’ll probably get the next manager the sack as well but at least we’ll be “supporting the lads”

Now I’m starting to calm down I will be a little less critical of King I think his intentions are to improve the club, regardless of what works. And I also think it’s unfair to say he’s trying to do things on the cheap. These coaches will be costing far more than Robins & Viveashs salaries

Those players got the best manager in our history sacked. They have spent the last 6 months in easy mode. They have received no abuse from the fans. They knew Robins’ job was on the line and still couldn’t be arsed to show some effort. This team is epitomised by players laughing when they...

You never know how things change though. In 2017 Robins had nothing on Mowbray, but turned out to be a better manager for us

Yes I’d say so. He still isn’t responsible. And anyway, Robins admitted that we were talking to him whilst Slade was still manager so it’s fairly common practice

I agree but also comfortable with letting the players, board, and coaches know we are really not happy with them. I’m happy for them to get a bit of sh*t for 1 or 2 games. The new manager however is the only innocent party in all this, so he should have our complete support

I’ve seen this in my own workplace. Take away someone’s ability to make decisions, but leave them with the burden of getting results

What I’m struggling to understand is what King thinks Robins has done wrong. If under this new structure the manager has had all almost all his duties split out to other coaches, what was Robins left with? Was his job just to pick the team and do the pre match talk?

An employee does the minimum amount they need to do in order to get paid. The previous squad wanted to win, because that is what professionals do

I did say one of in fairness

This appointment is one of the most important in the clubs history. For one thing we'll know just how good an owner King is. If he gets it right he'll be seen as someone who can be utterly ruthless for the good of the club. If he gets it wrong he'll be seen as a clown that knows nothing about...

If they suddenly start turning up I will be happy to support a winning team again. However my opinion of those players on a personal level would not recover. Going forward they are just employees of the club. I will support the team, but I have no particular well wishes for these as...

Enraged? You’ve come to the conclusion that I’m enraged because I’ve asked what her job is. It was a genuine question. You seem very defensive of her
