[Jamesimus]

Doesn’t sound like new manager is particularly imminent.

[SKYBLUES90]

Egg on a few people’s faces from here about Doug’s dismantling job…

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The Chris Ramsey point was on my mind as soon as he said 'we never found an assistant'. Pity it wasn't raised

 

[covcity4life]

Fuck me we ain't close to a new manager clearly.

 

[Alkhen]

Fuck it, gonna say it. Doug is showing some balls here. If what he says is true then I can see why it's played out the way it has. It would be a mental move if he was telling porkies. Shite that Robins has no right to reply though.

Wonder if there is a route back into the club for Adi? Him and Lampard signing 100s of Chelsea youngsters

 

[shmmeee]

Clearly not close to a new manager.

 

[ccfc922]

I think the CWR staff have ruined this to be honest.

They're trying to be all jovial and whacky.

 

[sw88]

Hesitant to answer how quick a turn around it’ll be

Then says he Hopes to have something in place within 10 days, won’t panic if it doesn’t happen

 

[Fluffsta]

Sounds like Robins would have gone at Luton if we had lost that game.

 

[David O'Day]

What makes you believe this is all 100% true?

Because it is defamation if true and King maybe many things but stupid enough to open himself up to legal action not one

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

No new manager till possibly 2/3 games after the international break…….we’re absolutely fucked

 

[sw88]

Clearly not close to a new manager.

After tonight, who would want to work under someone who will throw them under the bus so openly if / when it doesn’t work

 

[ccfc922]

Can only assume MR would have legal legs if it wasn't true?

 

[CovInEssex]

“I’ve seen how well Ryhs handled it on Saturday”

Thankfully referred to him as the interim head coach shortly after

 

[procdoc]

I think Doug keeping his cards close to his chest with the new manager talk

 

[sw88]

Because it is defamation if true and King maybe many things but stupid enough to open himself up to legal action

Or he has better solicitors

 

[fatso]

I don't know why CWR read out the "I am a DK fan" and all that blowing smoke shit.

For reasons of ballance. Not everyone wants to lay the boot in. (Well one doesnt)

 

[AJB1983]

Dean Austin coming across well I think.

one thing I’d say, if we were sitting in top 6, even without the head coach appointment that apparently mark is responsible for, would he still have pulled the trigger.
And also is he happy with the rest of the existing coaching setup?

 

[shmmeee]

Hey for those of us not wanting Lampard not being close is good news.

 

[chiefdave]

He's come out of this amazingly well hasn't he , nothing on him , Dean Austin next to him scared to say a word .

Really interesting , I'm sure the Cardiff city owner was similar ?

Struggling to believe what he’s coming out with tbh. We’ve got a club that’s leaked like a sieve for years, and still does, yet there’s not been a single whisper about any of this

He’s pretty much sitting there saying everything good is down to me, everything that’s not great is all Robins fault

 

[Nick]

No new manager till possibly 2/3 games after the international break…….we’re absolutely fucked

He said "if it does take that long then it takes that long, we have to get it right"

 

[Jamesimus]

I think the CWR staff have ruined this to be honest.

Honestly, fully agree with this assessment. No good questions.

 

[torchomatic]

Doesn’t sound like new manager is particularly imminent.

Not a bad thing. Can't rush this appointment

 

[jordan210]

Some ask Doug if he will be Decking the halls this festive season

There were plenty of whispers when AV went?

 

[CovInEssex]

Well

 

[EalingSB]

Typical Cov, pre-planned substitute after 60-odd minutes. Doug and Austin off.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Why are we?

 

[Bugsy]

Wellllll there's never a dull moment in the life of CCFC...PUSB

 

[PVA]

To be fair I don't mind that, I'd rather take the necessary time to find the best appointment possible rather than rush into it because some people on a forum are frothing about having a replacement in by midday tomorrow.

 

[covcity4life]

Round of applause for king. Apaprently I don't live in the real world where people are fuming though and won't move on

 

[eyesee]

I think Doug keeping his cards close to his chest with the new manager talk

it's a deck, surely. nobody says cards any more, apparently.

 

[Evo1883]

Good to know the owner thinks he's been amazing and all the shortcomings are everybody else's fault .

Onto the new manager PUSB

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

Dougs voice is quivering , he's nervous .

I don’t think so I think he’s angry

 

[Jamesimus]

Great first half, attacking, interesting. Then passed it round at the back for the entirety of the second half just trying the same things and getting the same answers.
