Anyone peddling IE good god - that would making Eustace > Rooney look sensible

Id leave Collins in goal for one thing. Did well enough at Sunderland to keep place, and frankly a goalkeeper missing a game because a ball hit him in the face....... Think we have to utilise 3 up top with HW injury - likely Tats,Simms,EMC then just defend better!!!

People have to realise a 7 year tenure will likely never happen again. Any new manager has a flight risk, average tenure of jobs currently 11 months. Whether successful or not, we are likely doing this again within 2 years.

Has anyone got any in depth thinking on RVN to show if he's a good coach/manager - Big name apart....I haven't seen a lot.

Hes under pressure and rightly so, after making the biggest decision at our club in recent history - this will define him. Broadly so far however, ignoring MR, he's done far more good than bad. And I actually thought he spoke generally well on Monday, have to take at face value. He knows this...

We had tax bill due on top of pitch if I remember correctly. Also think we had turned down offer for him earlier in summer, just shows how desperate and what a mess we were in. so all these people getting onto DK - careful what you want………

Exactly this - top 2 probably Leeds and SU. Then you've got absolute bun fight for top 4 - no one is running away, look at Sunderland last week, bang average to me. However, we do need to start putting run together quick sharp. Fixtures after Burnley are quite kind for new manager also.

People talking like the season is over. The league’s wide open, for play offs especially. IF we get a bounce and sort the team out we could easily out run together and storm up league. plenty of time.

He’s a horrible bloke. So arrogant, had pleasure of coming up against him years ago - nothing nice to say on him.

You heard anything at all @Saddlebrains / any further fallout after MR going?

We’ve got enough to worry about. 2 great players, especially hamer, given me some life memories. it’s football how they left, move on. Give them a clap at end of game.

Lampard is everything we don’t want, just name with no substance. He also had success at derby utilising expensive high calibre loans - again everything we don’t do now. Lampard following arguably our greatest manager would just be so deflating, disappointing and almost feels like last 7 years...

Agree that’s got look of a 6 + week job

Robins > Lampard is just everything I hate about football. awful manager.

Thats been my nagging worry also. I didn't want him sacked, but it was clear we was struggling, granted a lot down to all the off field change especially. BUT he as never managed at this level, with this expectation and thats the concern.

Friend works in media: King refused all outlets and backtracked on interviews big time yesterday.

the fact she’s a female is an issue for some. I don’t like the lazy comments which clearly are directed because she’s a female. of course she’s not immune for critique, but no one has any basis to do that as no one knows what’s going on.

Fair. And agree re king apologies if took out context (yea seen a lot of comments re Claire - and a lot of it not needed)

Power mad queen? Come on. Be better. we are all angry, we all don’t know either what the hell is going on. A lot will come out in wash. clear this has been planned - we’ve no choice now but to hope. players have been a disgrace and need a long look in mirror. king has a-lot to answer also...

They will be under embargo/told not to comment on social media. Wouldn’t read too much into it.
