Absolutely, and that's why I didn't want Robins sacked as I didn't see him as the problem.
My issue is with peoples hypocritical nonsensical arguments.

What's your idea of cherry picking?Neither is the 3 you are cherry picking. Really boring in every thread.
Don't try play the innocently naive. Everyone can see what people are doing by picking specific games.What's your idea of cherry picking?
The 3 games chosen were 3 games on the bounce just before Robins was shown the door. Cherry picking would be naming the 3 best or worse games not close to each other.
14 games .. with credit in the bank .He was sacked over the form for the whole season
You have tried to airbrush those who have signed and sanctioned the players coming in. You tried to make out they were the choice of Robins although offering no evidence.
You agree the squad isn't good enough. Seems to me like those who wanted rid of Robins are trying to change history.
Or would you like to explain the role of Austin because I have already shown you where Robins wasn't happy that he couldn't bring in the players he wanted.
14 games .. with credit in the bank .
I dread to think how long lampard will be given by our support
It won't be as many games as 14 before supporters turn
You haven't shown anything other than a telegraph article with an opinion piece on loans
Dean Austin was selected by Robins personally and appointed before King even owned the club and Robins has said he had the final say.
I mean they were turning Saturday before singing his name after a fortunate penalty at the end.14 games .. with credit in the bank .

I’ll be honest I don’t think the defensive signings are good enoughMost of the players are perfectly good signings, a couple we've overpaid for sure but realistically the squad is incomplete and lacking a couple of players in key areas , we already know we failed to bring 2 top midfielders in and a loan player .
Long story short , the players are more than good enough as part of an overall better squad , I'm sure that will be addressed

So 3 consecutive games right before getting rid of Robins after having our annual bad start is cherry picking?Don't try play the innocently naive. Everyone can see what people are doing by picking specific games.
As I say I was Robins in, so it isn't about that. It's like saying Lampard had a 100% win record if you take the 85th minute onwards. Just gets silly.

If these games were further back in the season I would fully agree. But it doesn't seem to fit some kind of agenda.
Robins has gone. Frank is our new boss. He has my full backing. Hopefully he will be given as long as needed and will bring success back to our club. But since King spoke on the reasoning of getting rid of Robins people have been piling on Robins, frequently twisting the truth. There's no need for it.
What you called an opinion piece was what Robins said word for word. That's why you wouldn't reply to it.You haven't shown anything other than a telegraph article with an opinion piece on loans

Lampard has been in the job for 3 days
We’re not in the relegation zone
We’re scoring plenty of goals
Our best player will return from injury soon
We’ve got Jan coming up to address issues with the squad
Stop losing your minds over a DRAW.
We’ll be fine this season. We’re not getting relegated. We’ve seen what these players can do. Calm the fuck down and stop shitting the forum up with threads about how all our players are shit and other associated bollox.
I replied saying I don't know. Do you know or is it a guess?There was no suggestion he could not have a loan at all.
Oddly you won't reply to who appointed Dean Austin as he was a personal friend
Why just the 3 is the question ?What's your idea of cherry picking?

How does that show Austin and Robins are personal friends?Well its not clickbait

But you have to admit that there had been little to indicate that anything was improving and that MR had shown that he knew how to fix it.14 games .. with credit in the bank .

Doesn't even say he was chosen by Robins.How does that show Austin and Robins are personal friends?
That's fair enough but we've made alot of signings over a couple of years .. I think we overpaid for a couple of players but barring that most of these players are perfectly good players who did well for the most part last year
whatever i say chris mate we will just argue about so what can i say , i disagree with youBut you have to admit that there had been little to indicate that anything was improving and that MR had shown that he knew how to fix it.
However we all need to move on.
Yup, I said before. You put some good new signings into this team of ours and we will have a very decent team.Most of the players are perfectly good signings, a couple we've overpaid for sure but realistically the squad is incomplete and lacking a couple of players in key areas , we already know we failed to bring 2 top midfielders in and a loan player .

I recall Don Hutchison doing similarly not long afterYup, I said before. You put some good new signings into this team of ours and we will have a very decent team.
It would only take a Hamer to completely change our fortunes.
Another CB, a midfielder and a left back/right back (preferably someone who could cover both sides)
We would be a different proposition. Very good players around you can bring out the best in you.
Again, I said before, for those who remember, when we got Dennis Wise it changed us for the better, quite dramatically.
I didn’t know they were personal friends, is this documented somewhere?
Robins on Austin
“I have known him for the best part of 20 years, knew him as a player, played against him when he was at Tottenham,” said Robins. “We have been on courses together and did our pro-licence together. He works his socks off every time I have seen him – when he was scouting for Southend he was in the car all the time, off to games and doing his pro-licence, his energy is incredible."
“He has been working for both Blackpool and St Albans City, and been instrumental in setting up their scouting network and processes. He is process driven and has good eyes. Because he’s been a player as well, he has a good set of eyes on him that can bring us some talent that we can hopefully sign, and moving forward, hopefully we can improve again."
“That’s what he has been tasked with. There’s a lot in his inbox at the moment so he has to make sure he goes through that methodically and make sure we get ready for both January and the summer.”
Where does it say they are personal friends? That just reads like an endorsement.
He has known him for 20 years - he appointed him - keep digging.
So you are personal friends with everyone you’ve known for 20 years because they work in the same industry? Bit of a leap.

Did he recruit him? Yes or no?
