    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It doesn't sound like being told how to live our lives. It sounds like encouraging behavioural change, probably using public information bulletins and some changes to the legal and tax system to encourage certain behaviour and discourage others. Which is exactly what every government does. Not...

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    I'm not saying these clauses don't exist, I'm saying they shouldn't be enforceable in certain circumstances. If your employer chooses to let you go any clauses about not working for someone else should be null and void. hence why you often get gardening leave. Bit like the Bosman ruling. You...

    For the love of god please Frank (if it is you) play our players in their best positions…

    You could play two 6's (Sheaf and Eccles) with Rudoni in an 8. You don't need to have a 10, especially if you have thee attacking players in a 4-3-3. Torp might be able to play 10. Or as an 8 with two 6's. What I didn't understand at the start of the season was why Torp was playing the more...

    Ellis Simms

    But are you willing to essentially forfeit games just on the belief that Simms will become good again if you keep playing him?

    You can also add in EMC, who can only play on the left as well. I think Wright could possibly still work as a striker, just as long as you allow him to run into channels. Also agree with the other poster saying Rudoni is an 8.

    So we can't trust Doug King's word then ;)

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    I know it happens. I'm saying it shouldn't be allowed. If you decide to end someone's contract early you shouldn't be allowed to then restrict them gaining new employment just because you've got to pay them off. If you've decided to get rid then you should be forced to pay the...

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    in which case the statement is factually incorrect. It should say "will terminate the contract of Mark Robins upon agreement of a severance package" And given the short shelf life of managers you'd have thought details like that would be in the contract from the start.

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    Well it would, if the statement released by the club didn't start with this. Coventry City Football Club has made the difficult decision to terminate the contract of Mark Robins as manager with immediate effect.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But given the huge change in policy and ministers arising from it it's also effectively a new government. There was more change between Johnson and Truss than there has been between Sunak and Starmer.

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    You'd have thought someone by now would have challenged it on the basis it's a restriction of trade. If you employ someone on a fixed agreement and then you decide to end that agreement early, you should have to pay whatever the remainder of that agreement is (or whatever severance is in that...

    Nowhere near as many as you.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Also really expected us to name the new manager today. Really does look like Doug pulled the trigger without any sort of plan in place. And if you consider that some people think he put off the decision for a couple of games because we won it makes it all a bit of a farce IMO

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Is there a Toffee Crisp one? Think there was one in with that 'pooping candy' you used to get. The mint one isn't minty enough. Plus the milk chocolate is too creamy and I prefer a bit darker chocolate with mint, like After Eight. maybe that's why I was disappointed - I basically wanted it to...

    Ellis Simms

    Yep. This getting the ball down the line for crosses makes no sense when most of our strikers (Wright, bassette, BTA, even Tavares) are much better suited to running onto through balls to use their pace. Only one is even vaguely suits is Simms and I wouldn't say it's his forte either.

    Referee

    The thing I don't get is we've got a very timid team that don't get at the ref half as much as other teams, yet somehow we pick up loads of cards for dissent.

    What worries me about Doug King

    Someone ought to tell him it's not his job to decide if the midfield is good enough - he's not qualified to make that decision. Fact he names some of those as viable midfield options right now tells you everything.

    Maybe he thought there was enough there to work on and with the coaching set-up changes he could improve significantly. Hasn't work out like that so far, though.
