It does not matter who gets the job after Robins, he still has the same set of players and i dont expect any major improvements this season

 

[Flying Fokker]

It seems to me MR knew the writing was on the wall. I believe in an interview around QPR game he mentioned these kind of results could cost him his job. So I bet Doug had been clear with him for a while where he stood, I do not think it came out of the blue to MR. Therefore I would find it unbelievable for Doug and board not to have put a lot of thought into succession planning over the last month or two. I’m sure they have their shortlist and may even had some initial meetings to sound people out.

We have an owner who has made it clear Premiership is goal, therefore the new manager/ head coach should be capable of buying into this plan. I was Robins in, at least for the remainder of this season, but we are where we are now and need to look forward and not back.

Clearly there are lots of capable managers that could do this job, if we believe MR was the only one then we are deluding ourselves,

Wouldn’t it be great if we got someone who can actually take us forward. The stats offered up on certain managers do not always tell us all we need to know. But the likes of Lampard should not even come close to our wanted list.

I don't want some dickhead with his first Blue Peter badge taking charge of our first team. We have got rid of the most established manager in the football league to replace him with someone with no experience or pedigree if we go for someone else's assistant

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

There isn’t a board as Doug King is the sole director.

This means that all important matters are his sole decision rather than a collective one. I do hope that, even though they aren’t directors, he has people around him with a good range of knowledge that he uses as sounding boards.

Don’t mistake shareholders for directors, or directors for board members. Just cuz Doug is sole shareholder doesn’t mean there is not a board.

Isnt John Taylor still COO?

Of course there is an exec team.

people confuse shareholder boards with executive boards….

Ours are more volatile becuase we’re a small market. If me and my bro both put £20 on John Terry he’ll be odds on favourite

Ooh good shout

 

[rob9872]

Yeah that was my point really. Hence no weight should be put into who is the favourite as this stage.

Some great laying opportunities on Betfair if you can get a rumour going

 

[Nick]

Pep might fancy it. He already told people to respect us.

For me, the only people who could take some of the bruising away from the way they’ve sacked Robins, is bringing in a playing legend to manage. Maybe someone like Doyle, or Kelly. not saying those particular, but someone who would connect with the fans as well. One thing Robins did and understood during the tough times is connect with the fans, that was part of the magic.

Totally agree, maybe someone like Carl Baker?

Can we have McLaren as his assistant doing accents?

Even though he was a miserable git most of the time.

Michael Doyle was at the Derby game.Could it be him

I hope so. I doubt he’d use an iPad and he has passion.

 

[Diogenes]

Runar Norman

 

[GrumpyGit]

That's the effect of the rumour. Rumour released, punters read it and place bets. Odds shorten.

What’s Bloomfield achieved?

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Can we have McLaren as his assistant doing accents?

If the teams playing well he'll speak with a Dutch accent, if it's going bad he'll speak Patois with Lats translating

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

I hope so. I doubt he’d use an iPad and he has passion.

Exactly. None of that computer nonsense.

Him & King are a marriage made in heaven... pair of snakes!

 

[Voice_of_Reason]

What’s Bloomfield achieved?

Won 6 on the trot, 9 out of the last 11. +32 goal difference. Top of League 1. 29 points so far.

Ruud van horseface is leaving united in the next week. Just putting it out there.

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Interestingly, I’ve just found out that Robbie Keane is a cousin of Morrissey.

Legend, I use to love "Men Behaving Badly".

 

[skybluecam]

It does not matter who gets the job after Robins, he still has the same set of players and i dont expect any major improvements this season

This set of players are capable of top 6. Certainly top 10.

Suggs & co is a dumb shout

Frank Lampard I've heard

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

Christ.

Good shout. We probably do need a miracle worker.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Frank Lampard I've heard

taking over? How close?

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Frank Lampard I've heard

God no

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Frank Lampard I've heard

Fuck sake I don't think I could handle that, with the ways it's going at the min Frank will get the job and JT will follow him, then again he might be able to sort our defence out but the down side is he'll shag all their birds

 

[bigfatronssba]

Roy Keane has made it onto the list now.

If he were manager Bobby Thomas would have no teeth to smile with next time he scores an own goal
