Same, way better than all the other candidates on the bookies list. Liam Rosenior is the only one on that list I'd take.

If it isn't Lampard and he is genuinely taking his time to appoint someone, it could be that he's eyeing up someone he has inside knowledge on them being on the verge of being sacked? Like a Russell Martin or something.

Fair point 😅 Was my spelling and grammar ok though? I need to know.

It's royally pissed off the majority of our fan base. A fan base that was so resolutely behind the team and the manager, even despite yet again a poor start. The perception outside of the club is it's an insane decision. That's, at the very least, the illusion of a club being a basket case...

If it was my money I'd definitely be very tetchy about sacking a manager who has a 100% success rate of turning results round at this club, for any of the candidates we're linked with. Even if it hasn't been a basket case decision, and Doug has thought long and hard, done his research, has good...

I hope someone asks him something along of the line of the implications we'll have going forward now he's exposed ourselves to the football world as another basket case club, with a lunatic owner who'll be remembered as the man who sacked Mark Robins. There's bound to be ramifications on...

It does to Doug, what if we'd won there and he wasn't able to sack Robins like he was dying to do?

Genuine question for Doug: "Are you at all concerned about the club's future ability to bring in personel of a certain quality, players or staff, now that you've outed yourself to the football world as another basket case owner?"

Whatever isn't working with the team, Robins is the best person, and only proven one out of those linked to be capable of turning it around. Now it's back on the managerial merry-go-round and back to back to mediocrity. If we do have to have someone other than Robins, I hope it's some unknown...

No, you miss my point. AFTER the Sunderland game would make sense, for the sake of 2 more days. It's quite abnormal to sack a manager unless they've become completely unhinged this close to a game when you have a 2 week window just round the corner. It's like Doug's desperate to sack him, and...

It's so weird to sack someone this close to the Sunderland game, when you've then got a 2 week break. It's almost like they don't want to risk him winning it (typical City) and keeping his job...

And guess who Sporting play next in the Champions League 🤔 I hope he gets 6!

I think we've already got £4m in add-ons, and will get another £6m if he goes for his buyout clause, so we may still get that £30m in the end anyway!

Definitely need to go all out against Derby, win that and Sunderland would then be a free hit. Players will have had a good amount of time to recover for the Derby game, we'll need to make the changes for the Sunderland game as it's a quick turnaround from Wednesday night to Saturday.

Unless you're going for top 2, it's all about muddling along picking up points where you can, and then going on little runs of winning 3 out of 4 (4 out of 4 last season dragged us from the bottom to back in contention). So, 3 points from the next 2, more would be a bonus, should propel us...

You can add West Brom, at least away, to that, as well.

It was so blatant in the second half against Wednesday that we was hiding and didn't want to get injured, with a keen eye on linking up with the new US squad under Pochettino. How many times was there shit loads of space on the left when Bidwell/Da Silva had the ball and Haji was hiding and not...

At some point we'll go on a run (hopefully!). I think the previous 2 seasons we had a run of 4 wins on the bounce at one point, that really catapults you up there. We only really need to be midtable within touching distance all season, with one well timed run, and then finish strongly when we're...

If we can manage Sheaf's fitness between now and January, resting him when possible to keep him fit for the majority of games, then we should be able to get ourselves into a decent top half of the table position, minimum. Then hopefully we can recruit in the CDM position in January (even better...

There must be a reason why so many teams don't leave a couple of players up... To us mere idiots, it seems like an absolute no brainer to leave 2 up so they have to keep 3 back. I genuinely want to hear from someone in the football world at least what the logic is against this, if not, why it...
