Makes zero sense to force an assistant manager on Robins that he doesn't want unless King really doesn't want Robins at the club.

Bit of a shambles really from sacking the assistant manager day before pre season, advertising for a new assistant manager and then deciding against it and then changing your mind again 3 months down the line and appointing an assistant the manager doesn't want.

King has really fucked this up

When did he last coach ?

No idea.

First impressions, he's a knowledgeable and well respected guy but not sure he has the drive, determination and intensity to drive training and coaching sessions days after day over a season.

Comes across as he's been happy in his back seat technical role at QPR for the last 8 years or however long it is.

i hope to fuck robins is onboard with that.
they take his no2 outside and shoot him in the head, then bring in someone else.
he has to have a big say in things like this.

we need someone who's gonna wake the fuckers up.
preferably before we are 2 down.

Based on Uss last post. Robins met him yesterday and following that contracts have been discussed with Doug. Doesn’t sound like Robins didn’t want him. If anything sounds like Robins gave the all clear for contract discussions to start.

Good job he’s not coming in as manager then.

Yeah, the opposition are going to completely ignore the preparations they've made through the week off the back of a rumour they've seen on SBT

We're in an era where people are hiding at training grounds and flying drones to try and get the slightest bit of information. Not a huge leap to think it's known by other clubs that there's a leak and the team will be posted in advance week in week out.

Do I think we're losing games because of it, probably not, but anyone in sports will talk to you about small margins so personally I wouldn't take the slightest risk of giving the opposition an advantage.

Not to mention personal things have been leaked out on more than one occasion. Things that I'd imagine all the local media are aware of but have been asked not to report on yet people think it's fine to post on here. Everyone is entitled to privacy in their private lives.

It’s funny how our ITK’s mainly post negative rumours ….

Every season we get told the new signings don't fit in and the squad don't get on / have fallen out. Then the next year we get told the problem is the squad dynamic has changed from the year before and its causing problems

My concern is like Dr. Claire he’s not been at the coal face of a club much aside from QPR and a bit in the states. Experience is all a bit academic at places like academies and the FA.

That’s not a disqualifier in and of itself but when that’s all you’ve got across the club you lack a little real world know how. Also 62…

Not about being a face. But about knowing what you’re walking into and the types of people you’ll be working with. Day to day management at a large club is very different to improving young players or making PowerPoints at the FA with no real pressure on results.

He's been at QPR who in his time were a premier league and then championship club and he was head coach for a bit in both leagues. Viveash had been with Chelsea's academy.

Yeah he has and that’s something. But it was one season where he didn’t do particularly well (got relegated then got sacked). Most of his experience is away from the first team though.

fernandopartridge · Oct 10, 2024

Thinking about it more though, looking at his history, it does point more to the criteria being focused on player development (or asset appreciation for Dougie) which I don't know whether we need any more of or not.

He was also Tottenham Hotpsurs first team coach before going to QPR to be an assistant manager and then manager. Seems to have more experience than Adi had. Let’s give him time

Yeah will give him time. Just mild concerns at the moment. I’d liked to have seen someone younger with a bit more of a record but if he’s the right character we won’t know until he gets stuck in. And we all hope it’ll work.

Viveash was on the training ground coaching every day though with the players in his academy role?

From what I can see Ramsey hasn't been a hands on coach since 2015?

It's an assistant manager though, there are four coaches already

That’s not what this role will want to do though. We have enough coaches leading training and supporting. The assistant job will be to manage the coaches and support mark with team talks and tactics.

Would the club really make and appointment in a number 2 and not want Robins blessing? Just seems odd…

If you wanted to be cynical then you could say it's a way of getting a new manager into the club and make any transition a bit more seamless...

However, I'm being positive and, assuming it is Ramsay, he is known as a coach, not a manager and I could see someone like that being brought in to take overall control of the coaching set-up.

I really dislike this gossipy drama queen bullshit.

Whoever your ‘source’ is is a scumbag, and I don’t give a toss if it’s one of the players or the tea lady. They should be got rid of. No organisation would see this constant leaking as healthy, it only makes things worse, yet you’re feeding into it & plastering every half baked theory all over here, as it makes you feel big. Some people seem to like the scandal & rumour and that’s their business- I hate it.

I don't necessarily disagree that gossip spreading from someone within the club is unhelpful, and I certainly acknowledge that this place has become Eastenders like recently. However, you're the last person that should be calling others out and hunting for likes.

You're constantly negative and 90% of your posts are attacking other contributors. Rarely ever talking about the actual football either. Claiming the moral highground on SBT should probably be left to someone other than you if we're being completely honest.

I don’t buy this narrative of anyone actively undermining MR, it doesn’t make sense. If the powers that be no longer believe he’s fit to do the job, just sack him.

It is unfathomable that the mood would have changed so drastically so soon.

it would make zero sense to be hiring an assistant if the assistant was going to take over, you’d just get rid of Robins abs put him in charge straight away.. and this guy’s record- while impressive in other roles- has nothing whatsoever in it to suggest he’d have any chance of doing any better than Robins

Sure. I mean, anything to pull the attention away from your attempted whitewash of Saddle which backfired massively.

If you would have written something normal you might have received some good dialogue and agreement. Instead you went for the 'holier than thou' approach again, and you just came across as a hypocritical c**t.

And on that note.. same time tomorrow I guess for your nightly pissed up rant, looking forward to seeing if you go for ‘c*nt’ or ‘cuck’ to sign off, you’ve been mixing it up recently

If I were pissed it would be a bit more colourful than either of those terms. I like to come on here late in the evening as it's mostly the only time I get away from work and socialising. I suppose neither of those things are something you can relate to.

If only I had another account I could spin up when it was all going to shit, we might be a bit more alike...

Sky Blue Goblin · Oct 11, 2024

ITKs have always been a thing as far as I can remember in football. The clubs communication at times leads a lot to be desired in regards to changes at the club. Which leads for people to try and get information out. Take Adi, not one comment on why he went just that they restructured and out. Which they don’t owe sure but will cause speculation with his history with us.

The issue is even worse when the local paper don’t really seem to get any exclusive news out the club like other papers do.

Happy to agree that team sheets don’t help (although I’m guilty of asking), but think people need to remember if people want to post what they’ve heard and that is there choice, to always have a bit of skepticism to what beens said.

At the end of the day, people are human and have their own opinions whether that’s the source or the person writing. Take Saddle, either his source or him (not having a pop) have concerns with the current ownership and a lot of what they say comes from that lens.

Take it with a pinch of salt and avoid if you want. Although on that note, CCFC fans seemingly always get the pitchforks out these days at nearly everything ( Guilty of this as well)
