He’s got to put his own money in now to get us out of this mess, and give Frank a chance.

The structure doesn’t make a difference if you loose all the people in that structure every time you have a manager leave

I’m sure he said something along these lines during the forum.

Contradicts a bit of what Doug was saying about the great coaches, and having them in and just replacing the “head coach”

Would still be similar for a self employed or contingent/ contract work

that’s true, but the new employer wouldn’t be paying the compensation, they would have to wait until the end of the settlement period date.

Usually under employment law if you terminate someone and then pay them compensation, they can still move on to another employer, and the employee doesn’t have to pay back any of the compensation.

Very odd we’d get compensation. Unless he has been “sacked” bur as he still has nearly 3 years left on his contract, he is still under contract by the club. Very strange one though

I think we have some great players, but poor balance in midfield and a bit light in defence (especially experience) I don’t think that was solely down to Robins, and if King thinks the recruitment has been amazing he is sorely mistaken. It was the same with England in the summer, they were very...

This is the sort of shit that needs to stop

Great way to answer the questions, not getting into it and putting the club and players interests first.

This is great to see. Well done Mark

Settlement agreement says it all, Robins won’t be able to put his side across, so Doug can say what he wants, and blame him. Piss poor decision from Doug to let him go, if they couldn’t find a number two that blame isn’t solely with robins. He also can’t see that we needed the loans in midfield...

He’s lying

That’s true, but also not recruiting a midfielder and the restructuring made this season an uphill struggle

I agree, and if hadn’t have come off the back of two wins I would’ve got it, but if he had come to Sunderland today and got a draw a win, we would’ve looked at that as a good set of results over the 4 games. I just think he had more cause to get rid of Robins before those two wins, and he chose...

Also to add, why sack him after the 2 wins, yes we lost to Derby but we had improved and just one two on the bounce with a good comeback in one of them. In the statement it talked about performance over a period of time, why not do it after the 5 or so games without a win, the fans may not have...

100% agree, King should’ve never interfered with the playing side of the club. Along with all of the other stuff a football manager does, Robins connected with the fans and this has helped rebuild it from the lows of league 2 to where it is today with record season ticket sales. King has...

It’s very similar to the Mowbray season we dropped to league 2, recruitment was messed up. Though this time I don’t feel like it was the managers fault at all.

With the lack of signings in central midfield, the sacking of Adi, and the appointment of seemingly average coaches, I feel this season was decided by these poor decisions in the summer.
