Really not enthused by Lampard but him working with Eccles and Torp is one thing I'll look forward to
Hopefully he will get a tune out of the midfield , can only benefit sheaf Eccles and Torp
100% will be good for the midfielders. In a ideal world, would love to see John Terry come from the Chelsea U21s for the same reason but for the defendersReally not enthused by Lampard but him working with Eccles and Torp is one thing I'll look forward to
He is , I'm watching itI believe he is on Premier Live with Ian Wright and Michael Owen …
I get what you're saying, but the statement when Robins was sacked was the new manager would work with the existing coaching structure at the club.
Just seems a little strange to fuck everyone off after spending all that time and money on appointing them.
Two parts I guess:
If Robins put it in which I don’t think he did, we aren’t completely keeping it as we’re changing the main role to a head coach meaning less impact on recruitment allowing the club to have a higher control on the overall vision.
If he didn’t, It’s a fairly modern system which a lot of teams in our league and the teams we want to emulate (Brighton and Brentford) use. It seeks to create more structure in finding targets for future managers, players and coaches and this allows more stability.
We knew we needed to evolve at some point as we had some many misses by just looking at the Chelsea youth team (which funny enough is what we’re getting back xD).
He won a title, and that was proof he could manage a team effectively. Lampard doesn't have that yet, although I sincerely hope he ends up being one of our greatest ever coaches, if appointed.
It’s happened too quickly and completely agree on that.If it’s the latter it makes no sense to change what's brought us success. At some point we'd have to, but doing it now? Doesn't make sense.
How has Russell Slade got on in his career?Terry Butcher has won a title. Perhaps we should get him back.
That’s a possibility because results have been bad this season and after PNE the decision to sack MR made the most “sense”.Makes more sense to me that it was now Robins has been sacked. Why would you recruit Chris only to sack the manager who wants him. Think Doug’s been thinking about this for a while and needed a trigger after out form turned
Would have happened too quickly and completely agree on that.
The problem tho is we don’t know how willing that timeline was as we still don’t know why Adi Vinesh was sacked. If it was Gross misconduct, the system was sadly going to be broke up so why carry on with it when we could start on the plan.
If Adi was sacked for no reason but the new system, then that is equal to what’s happened with Robins. Hope we get some clarity on Adi tomorrow
Shame as think it’s the deal breaker for me for the behind the scene changes and if we had to make the changes we did.There's no way we'll get clarity on what happened with Viveash tomorrow. Especially as it seems they'll be some on going legals.
Yeah don’t think Mark publicly thanking Doug for not sacking him after Luton was for no reason.That’s a possibility because results have been bad this season and after PNE the decision to sack MR made the most “sense”.
Whoever has watched our games this season can see we’ve gone backwards from last season.
It’s not a POV I share, but could anyone blame King for looking at the last 30 or so games and come to the conclusion that MR was unable to turn it around?
So King, who admits to knowing nothing about football, decided to rip up what brought us success and threw Robins under the bus when it didn't work?
Neither did Robins 7 years ago
And Kai or otherwise I'd assume?Hopefully he will get a tune out of the midfield , can only benefit sheaf Eccles and Torp
and you wanted him sacked every year
So if it’s on Robins and it’s failed why are the club insisting we keep it? Why won't people answer this?
It isn't the structure that's the issue. Having more people being able to specialise in certain areas is a step forward not backwards. Our previous setup was really basic bitch. Not saying anything about how successful it has been, or lack there of, but the structural changes make sense. Have there been teething problems, 100%, is that Mark Robins fault, mostly not.
I sort of think losing 7 in 14 probably helped make that decision .So King, who admits to knowing nothing about football, decided to rip up what brought us success and threw Robins under the bus when it didn't work?
because they can’t, as for whatever reason they had a grudge against Robins right from the L2 days.
He is , I'm watching it
Which most including me disagree with. But we don’t know how who else will be impacted, since Dean is there tomorrow hopefully we’ll get further information.But Robins took the fall

Making more shit up?
If people don’t want to be seen they are not going to pose for pictures.Always find it strange, same as the at the CBS yesterday but no pictures.
But Robins took the fall
When has the manager not taken the fall?But Robins took the fall
NoneAny hints?
Another emotional rant.It’s there for all to see. I don’t know what it is about the guy that has triggered people in the last few years, the resentment against him- despite him doing all that he did- is baffling. All the way to highlighting two words from a press conference and going off on one posting entire threads about a couple of words, then having a go at other people for “emotional ranting”.
The simple facts are that Robins turned around every bad situation he ever faced, ended up part of this new structure, but some people just ripped him apart no matter what he did over the years. Now we have a situation where the new guy has to finish 9th or above, or we will all know for sure it was a mistake. Or do the same ‘expectations’ Robins had not count for the new guy- we’ll see I guess.
Another emotional rant.
The resentment shown towards an interim manager (who didn't actually do too badly) has been much worse than anything I've seen robins get on here.

You are the undisputed forum number one for being obtuse and ranting, usually about things you clearly don’t really understand
Someone has just told me that the performance director is on holiday, this surely cannot be true.
