Players do get moved on regularly they are just not talked about as a bad apple otherwise no one would take them.

Because that’s the modern way. Most championship teams now meet before and travel together. This isn’t unique to us. West Brom insist their players stop at the hotel the night before home matches. It’s not because they are trying to fix a team morale issue.

Players holding each other accountable on the pitch didn’t harm United under the Ferguson years. In fact they now consider it to be one of their strengths at that time. Cole and Sheringham famously never spoke off the pitch. People read too much into small things when clubs are having a...

Spot on.

The full backs bombed forward under Robins and we conceded 2 goals per match…. Maybe Frank thought that was a contributing factor. MVE uses his pace still but it’s covering across the back 4 now when we are caught by the opposition on the counter attack.

I don’t think that’s entirely true. we clearly now have a style of play and retain the ball better, but our lack of end product is killing us. Torp or Rudi take their chances second half and we win and no one over reacts.

I think you are confusing me with yourself and RO. I think you preferred it under SISU given your constant anti King posts.

Every single leak is agenda driven. Absolutely no positive leaks, all negative. I could possibly guess whose nose has been put out.

Excepts its not is it. This isn’t an office or factory.This is a football club. Robins has relationships with journalists who he can easily feed information to off the record. We see it all the time. Someone within the City camp leaked that not all of the CCFC exec wanted Lampard. Man...

That suggests we are aware of all of our summer transfer targets which we are not. Every club misses out on players. Man City missed out on Declan Rice. It’s football.

I was told 2 weeks ago by a former director that the issue with Adi had been bubbling away for some time. He was described to me as a very talented coach but easy to fall out with, in fact he was nearly exited twice under Sísú but a combination of Robins, Boddy and the potential exit costs saved...

King made it very clear at the forum that he didn’t rate them ( quite rudely I thought ) and Robins consistently said he chose them …. If it wasn’t King and you think Robins consistently lied then who did choose them ? And why did Robins resist changing it when King encouraged him to ?

Utter nonsense

I think people are getting confused over language to be honest Robin’s was manager not head coach, therefore King saying the coaching candidates wanted to be head coach I think means they wanted to be the clear number 2 ( head of coaching ) not part of a flat structure.

That isn’t what was said. What was said …. Mark wanted a flatter structure without a deputy. Candidates interviewed wanted to be the clear number. 2. When it wasn’t working King encouraged him to bring in a more proven number 2 which Robins initially resisted but later conceded it was...

I agree to a point. However if they can’t do it on the pitch then their impact is diluted.

I was referring to last season. We still have fans saying we were wrong to let them go when we did. Which is nonsense.

Are leaders on the pitch becoming more and more rare ? Look at Man City, Man United, Villa, Brighton, etc etc not able to drag the team out of a poor run of form. Yet they have very experienced proven internatiomal players in the team. Don’t get me wrong I’d love to see 1 or 2 overt leaders on...

MVE can’t play higher up…. No trick, poor final ball.
