Think an experienced player is needed to have that sort of influence. Hopefully we get one.
Have to agree. Can’t help but think one crucial signing this window could bring the best out of the players around them. I don’t think this Chelsea kid is that player.
2 posts later? Was it, really? It was from a while back so not "2 posts later".
Was it made up on the same level as King hiring Austin even though he didn't own the club?
They'd agreed the sale - you don't just have the new boss running around hiring and firing people before he's officially taken over.
I wouldn't have thought so. Championship clubs are permitted to lose no more than £39m across the reporting period which is over 3 years iirc.
We're a loss making club but we'll be nowhere near making any kind of regulatory breach.

The King takeover was approved a couple of weeks after Austin joined. The approval took a bit of time but was almost a guarantee after the years of SISU.2 posts later? Was it, really? It was from a while back so not "2 posts later".

He did own the club! He purchased an 85% stake a month earlier. The takeover didn’t get EFL approval until mid Jan but the deal was agreed and signed.
You have no idea when conversations between the club and Austin first started though. It's complete conjecture and speculation.
Yet you state there's no chance King had anything to do with choosing Austin.You have no idea when conversations between the club and Austin first started though. It's complete conjecture and speculation.

Why would SISU hire Austin when the sale of our club was about finalised?
Yeah I’m sure a club selling players for grass was knee deep in a search for a new head of recruitment!
Oh right of course I forgot we didn't appoint one when we were considerably worse off in L1.
The timeline just so you’re clear is:
16th Nov: King agrees to buy 85% stake in club
30th Nov: Badlan leaves for Blackpool
13th Dec: Austin appointed
10th Jan: EFL approves takeover
27th Jan: King buys final 15%
Feel free to craft your nonsense around that
Why would SISU recruit when the club was sold? How long do you think it took to agree on a price for our club and then get approval from the FL? A lot longer than the 2 week difference between Austin taking over and the deal being finalised.Because we still needed recruitment ffs.
And it was all fuck all to do with Robins still.

Jackanory? That's saying SISU wanted an extra wage to pay when our club was already soldSo just to be clear, we think Austin is bad so it means King hired him before he had taken over (he told SISU to hire him) in negotiations and talks and it's nothing to do with the fact that Robins knew him.Obviously, if he had scouted some world-class players it would be because he was Robins bessie.
Then people wonder why I point out some of the Jackanory shit that gets posted? People need to take a step back to see what they are posting before pressing Save.
Who did he replace?Shock horror football club replaces head of recruitment after sudden departure!!!
You've cracked it. Deep state was 100% involved.

More like King wanted someone in place for the January transfer window that started a week before the deal was finalised.

Can you show us where he said that?This is like when Robins said himself he planned the new coaching structure but people still try and deny it because it didn't work.

FFS you are ridiculous. Just accept you were wrong. Badlan left after King agreed. You said they were probably already looking at Austin before he agreed. Which would be weird when he had a HoR.
OK you're right. SISU decided to take on Austin after agreeing to sell.our club.Because it was business as usual with Dave Boddy running things like that? It really isn't hard.
Was that him saying it was his choice like you are making it out to be?Literally where he was quoted saying when he was interviewing he would see how they would fit into the coaching structure.
Fucking hell

The role of Austin is different.Chris Badlan. He left for Blackpool to become their Sporting Director and our head scout Stuart Benthom joined him.
You making up things.What's your point?
The role of Austin is different.
