Well there are small holes appearing like the fact loads of wannabe managers applied for the number 2 role
What's Doug supposed to say then? Just let people spread lies and believe he has wrecked the club? People want answers and if that's his version of the truth then he has every right to present it. This forum has been full of people blaming Doug for Adi leaving and forcing staff hires on Mark Robins all he did was say his version of the events.
Then I suspect your source could be reliable but it’s also equally possible that Robins could’ve jettisoned the deal.
If that is what he said, it makes the sacking of MR after the poor Derby performance look even more knee jerk than it did at the time....which does undermine part of the narrative he was selling.
It'll be boring as hell unless those present really push King if he decides to deflect from the actual questions being posed ( if that's what's happening)
Much more interesting will be, perhaps a long while from now, what Robins' take is on his dismissal, though I think he's probably too professional to say too much even then..
They don’t now - live near there and they’d have him back in a heartbeatHull fans think he's quite negative
Who said Adi was sacked after a letters of no confidence style rejection from the squad?
Serious egg on face happenings tonight
I know lol. MadThat's exactly what Doug King said.
Or not when we are losingI’m more interested to know why someone who bangs a drum for 90 minutes was elected to speak on my behalf
No that’s fair enough, I’m just saying I think he could be a very good fitHull did alright too , doesn't mean what I said isnt true
They don’t now - live near there and they’d have him back in a heartbeat
And King out priced him on his boxWell I think we can guess as he hates everyone since Cal left
Someone has been trying very hard to get anti King sentiment going since day one.I'm not saying all of it's true. But clearly a narrative from the other side of this has been pushed from somewhere as well/
Because Adi doesn’t think Robins had a legitimate reason to get rid of him.The thing I don't get if robins got rid of adi why are the solicitors involved something unusual has happened there.
I don't think he would have lied.Why?
What if you think he's lying?
I actually believe him on this but he definitely came out with some bullshit tonight.

I love how you're all assuming it was gross misconduct on his part. Bit of a slur. From what I understood and I don't claim to be itk, it was a straight choice between him and Robins and they of course favoured the manager based on the previous. That to me says it's a breakdown in their relationship. I was told the reason for that was Adi's mrs, but don't know how much truth there is in it as often these things get embellished.
I'm sure he said Robins was good for the time but we need to push on and that he thought Robins wasn't up to the task to what is requiredGot to be honest. I think doug did really well tonight and im encouraged by his insistence that we have the singular focus of getting promoted out of this league.
I can see the evidence trail to back up everything he said, i think he is shocked and hurt by the response directed at him from this, which maybe showed his naivety to it and im not sure tonight helped fix that but i felt like he tried his best to articulate that he wants us to succeed.
Ultimately, he will be judged on this decision only at a future point in time. This replacement will either get us to the premier league or will get sacked. He’s stressed he wants to get it right, so now we just have to wait and see if he does.
Yeah but the way I read it was that Robins didn't want any that came forward and the best candidates didn't want to be Adi2.0.Well there are small holes appearing like the fact loads of wannabe managers applied for the number 2 role
After a discount on a box for next yearHe's genuinely positive about it. Shocked
That was my take but one ITK says DK blocked RamseyAnyone get the feeling Robins could have been a bit of a blocker to bringing in a new coach to support him. Lots of really talented applicants but none over the line…that was my wife’s take on it.
I don't think he would have lied.
Twisted facts to suit his narrative, sure, but telling a total lie about anything would be obvious to a lot of people internally and would destroy his standing at the club - think he's smarter than that.

On the contrary he should have had feelers put out well in advance of the sacking. It's a cruel world. It's how businesses work. Now we have potentially several games with no manager.But if he did have it all planned then people would be complaining that he was a snake for going behind Robins' back.
One thing I hope we can all agree on is Robins deserved better than to have an owner plotting his replacement whilst he was still in place
Alright Decksy. Calm dow!Sorry but I think he's coming over really well, take the emotion out of it, and he's taking a lot of sense.
Doug said all the best tacticians wanted to be a number 1 , which is an odd responseYeah but the way I read it was that Robins didn't want any that came forward and the best candidates didn't want to be Adi2.0.
Might be wrong but Doug said it was Marks call on who was his new number 2
Yes, would liked to have know more about Director of role as that could be a car crash if it doesn’t work. Sounds like he wants to pass some of the pressure on.Yea but doug king has said what he's said and it's all exactly correct , no conversations were held face to face and everything is as he said ..
All robins fault
