I’m A helpless spectator or someone not interfering? Different perspectives on the same account. I thought he meant that Robins would need to select the coach and only when agreed would it come to his desk for signing off and negotiating package etc..

I certainly wouldn’t put it past Doug telling everyone tonight he’s evaluating tons of quality applications even if the deal was done 3 weeks ago…. Just to get an easier ride.

I think it is quite a stretch to say Robins has made playoffs before therefore the new guy must do better than that in his first part season. As the saying goes “Past performance is not indicative of future results” and this is never truer than in football. Who knows whether Robins would have...

Juric wouldn’t have even unpacked his bags. Frank may get little more than a city break…

I really can’t see uncle Harry advising him Roma is a good option at this moment in his career. 4 Managers in a year? The odds of failing there are incredibly high.

Maybe she already has spoken with him. This will have been ongoing for a while.

I’m not wanting to sound overly semantic but coaching structure and coaching personnel are not the same thing. I imagine there is plenty of wriggle room in that statement.

I thought they looked pretty tidy

Which might suggest the replacement is lined up and ready to go…..

I think we are conflating too many things here. When I voted on the question should Robins have been sacked I voted NO. I would not have because he was great when we had little resource and he took us from the abyss to where we are now and as such we owe him a great debt. I know this View for...

I’m not sure that is a fair statement. After Derby his stock was high, but In hindsight, he moved too soon to a club like Chelsea and the Everton stint didn’t do his career a lot of good either. Truth be told he is probably a very good coach, but the big clubs will not go for him until he...

Hasn’t Potter been “resting” since the Chelsea gig? Wouldnt It be nice if he felt burned by his time at Chelsea and is longing for the chance to build a midlands team to get back to the Prem……. Ahhh day dreams

I feel like a treacherous shit weasel even voicing this, and I‘m not saying I think this myself, but…. Does anyone think MR may have reached his ceiling? It has gone through my mind previously that if he had took us up to Prem, would he have been the right calibre to keep us there. I think...

Don’t mistake shareholders for directors, or directors for board members. Just cuz Doug is sole shareholder doesn’t mean there is not a board. Isnt John Taylor still COO?

It seems to me MR knew the writing was on the wall. I believe in an interview around QPR game he mentioned these kind of results could cost him his job. So I bet Doug had been clear with him for a while where he stood, I do not think it came out of the blue to MR. Therefore I would find it...

Well there could well be something in this. Robins has been at his best when we’ve had no resources, not even a ground, let alone a large amount of back room staff. It may well be he knows the new culture and environment is the way modern successful teams are structured, but it’s not a...

I dont think O’Hare was massively superior to Rudoni. He did have a few great games. Birmingham springs to mind, but he also had quite a few mediocre performances. I genuinely think Rudoni will come good and probably has a higher ceiling than O’Hare. I don’t recall feeling a massive void when...

Err do you only think a shot that was on target counts when looking at missed chances? 9 times out of 10 I’d bet on Bassette putting away his chance. A header like Thomas’s would probably be a goal 7 or 8 times out of 10. Wrights disallowed goal would have stood 5 times out of 10. Etc.. My...

I don’t think what he said was random bullshit. I think you are looking at the performance over the last 10 games or more( which is poor), but his comments were prefaced with “if you take this game in isolation”. so, if you take the game in isolation I think his comments are basically fair.

We’ve had a number of very poor performances this year, but I do not put todays in that category. We were in the game, made plenty of chances and for large parts were reasonably tight at the back. However, squandering a number of good chances along with falling asleep at the back and letting in...
