Fucking hell. Doug Lin ain’t the Antichrist mate

First Doug Queen now Doug Lin? What's going on?!

[skybluecam]

Don't actually have an issue with him talking a out recent events and his plans and ambitions for the future.
But we don't need a history lesson from the clown, we were there!

Yeah it was a bit condescending, Doug has a rather large ego on him. He’s said far too much about it all, probably would’ve been better to keep quiet.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

He’s obviously referring to promotion to the premier league, use your noggin.

And stop being so dramatic. “Connection is gone” my arse, not sure which game you were at yesterday?

Like a virgin giving his thoughts on sex positions, you know fuck all about football, so fuck off cam.

Well actually judging by the crowds

A lot of us were not

Actually there or not I think most people are aware of our recent history, they don't need some blow in telling them about it.

I'd be pretty confident there are a fair chunk of our ST holders who other than knowing that SISU were bad probably do not know the full extent of our problems in the past

We if you think they needed a history lesson from a man who admits he knows nothing about football then good for you.

 

[Deity]

The only reason King has explained his decision to then degree he has is because of the melodramatic response of our fan base.

The history lesson was a contextual point about relativity but it was lost on some it seems.

 

[Deity]

He comes across as a c**t of a man, scoffing and groaning in forums at anyone that asks reasonable questions and doesn’t bow to his ego.

What he did with the disabled policy, family zone, going out on the pitch dancing to his silly song and putting himself front and centre of the squad photo, are the small little signs that he has no empathy, humility and he’s an ego tist.

You’re right, the sooner he goes back into hiding on holiday with Dr Claire, the better.

One of you and King is coming across as a c@@t but you’ve just not been bright enough to work out which one.

 

[torchomatic]

How is it balanced? It reads like an Executive Summary (for those that hal and how good old Doug’s project is the saviour.

The first 2/3s of the article is telling us all about the history of the club from foundation to the dark place we were in - like none of us didn’t experience the administration, SixField and St Andrews days. Shockingly bad.

The final line or two is really troubling:
‘He knows how much I wanted this to work with him and the sadness I feel that it did not’.

Robin’s beat every goal set of him and delivered earlier than expected on the Play Off Push. Before Robins, we hadn’t been in any play offs, in any league!

To say it did not work with Robins, is a little potshot and not frankly true, for all of us that have been behind the club for longer than 2 years.

Doug is an egotistical, narcissistic c**t that has fucked up every decision he has come across. The connection between fans and players and staff is gone and now it feels like the club is full of cunts. Doug Queen Out.

The history lesson was a contextual point about relativity but it was lost on some it seems.

Lifelong football fans don’t need a contextual history lesson from a Norwich Hospitality enthusiast and cooking oil merchant.

A lot of us have first hand experience of how bad a decision like this can put the club back into a spiral.

Melodramatic; Doug Queen Apologist.

It's hardly melodramatic.
He sacked a manager who'd been in place for 7 years.
Whatever your thoughts about that it's a pretty big event affecting the club and was always going to be met with a big response, (and it would be the same at any club in those circumstances).
He's put himself in the spotlight far too much this last week or two and much of the Telegraph article was condescending to many.

He clearly has a big ego and a thin skin which isn't a good combination when you're in a position where you'll get regular criticism for you decisions.
The way some on here defend everything he does baffles me.

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

One of you and King is coming across as a c@@t but you’ve just not been bright enough to work out which one.

Just because you use words with a few syllables doesn’t mean you’re intelligent.

I can be a top c**t but I’m good at my job. Doug King is a narcissistic c**t who’s shit at his job at our club, you’ve had a thesaurus last year for Christmas so you think you’re a clever c**t, when really you’re just as thick a c**t as everyone else apologising for good old Dougie Queen.

 

[Evo1883]

Think it belies a huge ego TBH Pete. He clearly thinks he’s turned us from a lower half champ side to play off contenders and Robins was letting his big project down.

 

[TomRad85]

Wasn't going to read it, just did.. its fine I suppose. Agree that it is time for him to name a successor and stop talking so much now though.
If we do get promoted under his ownership he is free to streak the full length of the pitch if he wishes.

You regularly demonstrate the ease of which that occurs.

If King had said absolutely nothing about his reasoning the fans would moan. Arrogant, aloof, etc etc.

If king had given political non answers fans would have said he was dodging the question, being political etc etc.

So King tells us his honest reasons with a good degree of detail ….. Fans …King loves the limelight, should say less, we don;t need to hear from him.

If your job knowledge matches that of your football knowledge i suspect your shit at that too. You just don;t know it.

Stop trying to talk all silky like you’re smarter than anyone else.

Self appointed voice of reasons are always wankers.

Man named himself God on a football forum. I’d be checking his garden for animal bones.

Well at least I can work out how to use a semi-colon on my phone, sanctimonious (5 syllables for you there thesaurus) c**t!

 

[Earlsdon-Loyal-Blue]

Yep, definitely has sweets in his car.

He’s read a few of DK’s interviews and listening to the forum and thinks he can be as sanctimonious as our wonderful Dougie.

 

[chiefdave]

So King tells us his honest reasons with a good degree of detail

what I find very odd is the number of people quite happy to take Kings word as gospel and put down anyone who dares to suggest there might be another side to the story.

 

[M3rcian]

There are some very active DK haters on here (fair enough), personally I try to keep balanced as we dont know the facts, or all sides of the story. I have said before though, when an organisation becomes a personality cult, it's bad news for everyone (even the guy treated like a demi-god). All other opinions count less and mistakes can be hard to challenge, so get repeated. Basically it can severely stunt any progression.

I don't claim to know anything more then has been posted on here, but I see signs that we were on the way to, or perhaps had already become a personality cult club. No shortage of frustrations with how game tactics were too rigid. Slow starts to the season became expected. Whether you believe DK or not, coaching wasn't working and MR was against the structure.

For the sake of balance, maybe there is some credability in what DK says, that he tried to shift the club away from being a cult to a healthier set up.

I think we all saw the players reaction when AV went (for non football reasons), they seemed really down. Not what you'd expect to see if the rumours of bullying were true. Again, trying to be balanced here, but could that reaction be because AV was one of the few people MR would have listened to?

I've got massive respect for MR, he and his team overacheived and did an amazing job. Things change, even at the club MR grew up in, which you might argue was the biggest personality cult of them all after MR allegedly saved Ferguson from the sack.

Personally looking forward to a new chapter with optimism given the stability and a progressive structure, whilst also demanding MR gets a statue for what he acheived!

I agree, he couldn't stay silent, but he's gone way over the top in this last couple of weeks and then came out with that condescending clap trap yesterday.

And I judge each decision King makes on its own merits, admittedly I've disagreed with more than I've agreed with, particularly the last few months but there's plenty I've agreed with nonetheless.

And I wouldn't call everything he says 'honest answers' either.
There's several points I'm very dubious about but if you believe him fine.

 

[covcity4life]

I agree with Robins getting sacked: “Great piece that is”

I disagree with Robins getting sacked: “Absolute load of bollocks that”

This is true.

For me he ain't written anything wrong. It was a nice read. People having meltdowns about small things like this I worry for mental health wise.

I would save your concern for people who like being patronised.

You can’t insinuate people are paedophiles over football opinions. That’s bang out of order. You’re really letting yourself down

 

[torchomatic]

Well actually judging by the crowds

A lot of us were not

I wasn't involved in Operation Overlord but I know all about it.

 

[shmmeee]

Im more worried about those inventing personalities to account for their behaviour. Proper DSM V stuff that.

Me and my cousin are here for you. It's good to talk

Sorry are you talking to me or is there a third in there?

 

[covcity4life]

We don't let the third out. He is evil. We fear him.

 

[duffer]

What if King is right ?
What if Mark is not as good without a high quality coach along side him ? What if he was refusing to bring one in ?

What if tactically Mark is a bit short of what it takes at the top of the pyramid ?

King has several huge advantages over us.

He’s watched Mark at work most days, he’s discussed the issues with Mark in detail on multiple occasions, he’s heard what the players think of the relative merits of Mark and Adi, he will have heard what other people in the game think about Marks capabilities to take us to the next stage again.

We don’t have hardly any of those insights and yet some fans can’t open their mind to the very idea that King could be right. It’s very odd behaviour.

I'm absolutely open to the idea that he might be right, but I'm also open to the idea that he's a typical owner who thinks that throwing money at a team means you're entitled to a place at the top table.

Let's see what happens to the new guy when he goes through a tough run.

Let's see if the new guy is really a head coach willing to fit into the new structures, or just a big name.

That's when we'll be able to judge King's honesty and his own football knowledge.

 

[pusbccfc]

Same people angry at him.

Whatever he says, whatever he does they are critical.

Can't wait for the next outrage.
