OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked (7 Viewers)

[procdoc]

Doug King is a c**t

 

---

[napolimp]

We've gone from being one of the most stable clubs in the football league, to total chaos.

 

[PVA]

Fucking hell. Absolutely gutted.

I just pray that Doug doesn't get seduced by a 'name' like Lampard or Steven fucking Gerrard or some shit like that.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

People blaming the players? FFS.

Well they've not been performing have they? They also pushed for Viveash to go.

Robins has not made great decisions but he's been massively let down as well.

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Absolute fucking disgrace

 

[lewys33]

The coaching structure is going to remain the same the statement says … I wanted them all gone if we did it.

 

[shmmeee]

Last night you said you wanted him gone

Mid match opinions aren’t valid outside 90 mins

 

[Frostie]

Genuinely lost for words.

 

[David O'Day]

You surely can't deny it

He earned the right to more time to try and turn it around

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

The coaching structure is going to remain the same the statement says … I wanted them all gone if we did it.

Surely a new man will want his team around him maybe this is the reason robins didn’t get a new assistant

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I really fear for who he brings in next.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

This squad should be utterly ashamed of themselves.

Will be a real fight to stay up now I fear.

 

[im-confused]

I'm gutted as he has done some great things with the club, but lets be honest - it wasn't a surprise.
Just go back and read match threads on this forum, and how many references are made to tactics being wrong, wrong substitution decisions, not changing things up when needed, questionable interview comments.

I really don't like to say it because we have had some amazing times under Robins, but it appears to me that we need someone on board who is more tactically switched on, and knows how to change games, get the most out of our squad in different scenarios, and motivate the team. It really feels as though he has taken us as far as he can.

All the best for the future, Mark!

The question now is who is the right person to take over?

 

[Grendel]

Well they've not been performing have they? They also pushed for Viveash to go.

Robins has not made great decisions but he's been massively let down as well.

I think Viveash was dismissed for serious breaches of conduct and Robins agreed with the decision.

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Fucking hell. Absolutely gutted.

I just pray that Doug doesn't get seduced by a 'name' like Lampard or Steven fucking Gerrard or some shit like that.

According to Sky Sports news DK will attend a supporters forum next week regarding this.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Fucking hell. Absolutely gutted.

I just pray that Doug doesn't get seduced by a 'name' like Lampard or Steven fucking Gerrard or some shit like that.

If that happens, the season is genuinely a total write off.

I hope there's some kind of plan going on here. I've seen us go for too many "names" over the years and it end in disaster.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

The end if a very exciting and positive era for the club.
Feel its a mistake given all the behind the scenes changes and inevitable transition period.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Really hope Robins makes an autobiography of his time with us, I wanna know all the secrets of what’s gone on, I bet he’d throw King right under the bus

 

[TomRad85]

Well they've not been performing have they? They also pushed for Viveash to go.

Robins has not made great decisions but he's been massively let down as well.

You can't just remove the whole playing staff and replace it though. It's really not that surprising, You bring someone in to try and get a better tune out of them.. there are examples of this working and of course not working. Lets see what happens and hope we get it right.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Rip Coventry City.

Stupidest decision of all time.

The greatest manager in our history doesnt deserve a sending off!!???

 

[clint van damme]

Can’t see this ending well. The majority of fans didn’t want this. Going to be a hostile atmosphere unless the new manager gets off to a flier.

MR deserves a fucking statue

Can see another Eric Black/Peter Reid scenario where the fans just never took to Reid and it was doomed to failure.

 

[Macca1987]

So no manager in the future, we are having a Head Coach, and no rush to get one, as we will be having an Interim Head Coach. Think King is getting ahead of himself with the coaching structure, we're not in the Prem yet

 

[skyblueiom]

wtf is that statement, we thank mark for all his achievements and wish him the best. fuck off king thats a disgrace. This guy has done more for this club and city than anyone has or likely ever will. Fucking sad day

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

No way…oh, that’s it, we’re truly screwed now.

Well done, our wonderful star players, well done - I hope you’re reading this:

YOU HAVE LET THIS MAN, THIS CLUB AND THE FANS DOWN.

I hope you find your testicles, for whoever is unfortunate enough to get the job next.

 

[SBT]

Wait, how long was I out?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Surely a new man will want his team around him maybe this is the reason robins didn’t get a new assistant

Unless it's Boateng?

He will probably be back again sometime in the future .

fair

 

[David O'Day]

You said he was nowhere near to being sacked didn't you?

And I was wrong, I've never claimed to be an ITK.

This is a pretty weird and sick time for you to focus on your frankly scary obsession with me.

Pipe down you 5ft Canley tramp, this isn't the thread for this.

 

[lord_garrincha]

Is there much confidence that the heads involved will identify a head coach of any substance and, if they are under contract at another club, are they prepared to pay for the right candidate?

 

[Frostie]

 

[SkyBluePower]

The coaching structure is going to remain the same the statement says … I wanted them all gone if we did it.

Surely someone lined up. They will all go then one would think/hope

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He deserves much much better than that. It’s also one sure fire way to guarantee we get nothing at Sunderland either.

The players should be ashamed for their role in this too, make no mistake. As for King, he doesn’t have the fans’ backing in doing this, not by a long shot, and he must get it right or reap the whirlwind.

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Its a results business, that team last night were not playing for him. Hope they have someone lined up with the run of games we have coming up.

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

Genuinely gutted , And in my opinion there is no other candidate for the job who i would want in charge
