Or maybe the 90% of the fans loudly saying they didn’t want him sacked, and chanting his name at every game to let fookin Doug King know that.

The inability to break down physical defensive teams at the CBS has been a long-standing issue under Robins. It was the same in League 1 and League 2. We could destroy teams that were open and attacked us, but a clever, sly defensive gameplan often toppled us. Same this season (Sheff Weds and Derby)I remember this one!
it was when we sacked Eric Black and appointed Peter Reid who would “guarantee promotion”.

Lots of talk on the Leicester forum about wanting Robins when they get rid of Cooper
This is precisely it, for me. It’s futile at this point, to speculate either way, as if we get the right manager in, he could finish the work that MR started.Let's give it time, it might turn out to be one of the worst decisions in history, it might not.
I think everybody would have liked Robins' tenure to end differently to this but unfortunately it hasn't.

A bit like you on here you mean. Also been mentioned on Sky for your infoNo there isn't - a couple said it and got laughed at.
No help whatsoever. You didn't actually say whether you got out of the jungle or not!We want to get into the Premier League and Doug has decided that Mark is not likely to get us there and therefore has made a change.
Whilst many of us don’t like to see Mark go i thought this analogy might help
We decide we want to trek through the Amazon jungle to a new destination. At the start of the journey we use a guide who hasn;’t been through the AMAZON before but he has successfully guided us through other jungles In the region.
After 2 years of trekking and millions in investment we were further away from the destination than when we started.
We therefore take the decision to swap guides to someone who has a track record of getting through the AMAZON specifically.
We feel disloyal to guide one who has been great to us on previous treks but does that make the decision to swap wrong ?
Also people are taking anyone who says they may not go as much, or at all, anymore as being on some kind of NOPM boycott. That's nonsense, you don't have to be actively protesting or boycotting to not attend.It’s not my opinion but it’s not ridiculous. A girl on Twitter got pelters for saying similar and explained it as she’s not arsed about the Prem but wanted to see Robins finish the journey. Now he’s gone she’s just not arsed about the Prem. Not every fan just wants to see us as high as possible, a lot care more about the day to day experience and a manager like Robins improves that as it’s a shared journey.
There’s been a lot of pretending not to understand or recognise the emotional and community aspects of supporting a football club on here recently in some weird Millennial masculinity virtue signal.
It could but its a huge risk. Getting rid of a manager who is unpopular and the majority want gone is one thing but that's not the case here.Dave I understand what you are saying but it could be turned to say that's why King acted now. Stop the poor performances at home play consistent entertaining football move up the league and send the fans home each weekend with smiles on their faces from having been entertained. To me the sacking was at a strange time and I would of thought around qpr was the real low point. After the Luton and Boro wins despite the one inept loss I would of at least given Robins Sunderland, with those 4 games 6 points was ok, 7 points reasonable, 9 points fantastic etc. But it is what it is
