Mike Ashley likes this postDoug does come off arrogant as fuck to be fair but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing in his position
he did?I wish King had just been honest and just said the results have not been good enough in his opinion.
It was hugely concerning and obviously the main reason Robins had to go.he did?
said averaging a point a game over the last 30 ish games isn't good enough

someone passing over 2nd hand bullshit about sheaf refusing to to the press conference on fridayWhat's the screenshot that gimoc has deleted!?? I missed it!!
Bombshell threw everything outYou were there mate , how was it ?
Personally thought King threw everything negative at Robins and flatbatted anything else as a semi positive to himself
He said many times we had 25 pointshe did?
said averaging a point a game over the last 30 ish games isn't good enough
A very fair appraisal as always from you.Bombshell threw everything out
The lady who asked the first question after that was great and he didn’t answer as was the lad of here after
It wasn’t very fair of him to throw mr under the bus but I can’t believe how many in the room and on here were like oh well robins is the past and king is the future so thanks but we move on
I don’t really like him he’s arrogant and answers as if he knows everything when he clearly can’t know everything
That said he fronted up and didn’t do bad - he didn’t really answer the question of why
It seemed to be because his coaches aren’t good enough and results are going to get us relegated which doesn’t quite work
To paraphrase, be did say ‘its not just about the form’… that was his starting point. His specific concern was that after all that, the MR-AV divorce and the subsequent coaching situation was a concern to him.I wish King had just been honest and just said the results have not been good enough in his opinion.
Fucking hell and in a heartbeat fuck you very much Mark and good nightI’m very impressed with DK. He’s been very transparent. Didn’t have to do this tonight. We all loved MR but if we’re honest we know things were on the decline post AV exit.
DK cleared our debts, wants success with city like we all do. His explanations, plans and skin in the game (£Ms!!!!) means he’s obviously trying to move the club in the right direction.
Harry Redknapp director of Football and his nephew Head coachThings I thought were very interesting:
1) seems like the next step after a Head Coach is hiring a Director of Football.
2) the HC search isn’t close to being done.
3) Doug loved Adi despite what all the ITKs said
4) Doug seems to really want a proper tactician as HC (this is big to me)
Kanu up front next gameHarry Redknapp director of Football and his nephew Head coach
And as a result left us a few games away from non-league obscurity.As Dawkins and co have said on that Podcast thing on twitter. It's time to move on and back the team and back whoever gets the job
MR is a legend and will go down as a legend. But all good things come to an end and we all know performances haven't been good enough this season.
And I can see MR being stubborn regarding the coaches. God knows he's been bloody stubborn with his lack of use of players and substitutions over the years.
I'm a plank for not agreeing with you? Your clearly anti King regardless of anything. Nothing wrong with being passionate but you need to read your responses to some other comments which make you sound hell-bent on everything which does not fit in with your narrative. To be fair tho I've been called much worse than a plank mate so cheers for being nice to about itWhat are you on about you plank?
What narrative?
Isn’t that what everybody thought in relation to tactics?The whole narrative was that Viveash was the real number one all along and Robins was inferior
Alex Ferguson reputably never watched a training sessionIsn’t that what everybody thought in relation to tactics?
Wonder if he heard that tonightAnd as a result left us a few games away from non-league obscurity.
Jeez

What's Nico Kranjcar up to these days?Harry Redknapp director of Football and his nephew Head coach
Wonder if we would've still been an attractive proposition but for the following years ?Wonder if he heard that tonight
No way in this day and age can you do that it would have come out on social media and if the situation now is bad ,this forum would have tore his head off.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.
He's explained things were already broken, tried to fix it with MR and AV, couldn’t. We move on. How long would you wait? I like his decisiveness. I want our club to be successful and appreciate his argument.Fucking hell and in a heartbeat fuck you very much Mark and good night

Pretty much where I sit currentlyI am not anti King, he has improved many aspects of the club since his arrival and have no reason for me not to believe he is telling the truth tonight other than he is completely legally protected because all other parties have NDA’s t
preventing them to speak because of future payments to them and legal action agains them if they do as most NDA’s have standard clauses about not speaking ill of the employer.
That said, Robins and Adi did a bloody good job of hiding hating each other for the quarter final onwards last year, clearly looked like it as we celebrated at Wolves and at Wembley.
Time will tell because whether they ever work together again and how much truth was really said tonight.
I found it odd what he said about the class of coaching, I would be slightly worried and upset if I were them or getting my solicitor ready to maximise my NDA. If the coaches were not good enough, why employ them or allow Robins to promote two from within the club. Again, the city unseen overseas filming looks like they are getting on so I just find it odd.
have no problems with perform director etc, all part of being a professional outfit
There were a lot of evasive statements throughout. I can't remember the precise one used relating to the no.2 but perhaps 'no deal was ever presented to me' or 'nothing ever made it to my desk.' A barrister leaps on those because they are the kind of statements defendants make when they don't want to tell 'the whole truth.' (e.g. something hasn't reached them because they had an underling set fire to it.)True but the reason given seems strange. The owner doesn’t think the timing is right?
If MR wasn’t interested, why have CR come to Ryton? Why did CR think it went so well a deal was going to be worked with the owner? Only to be told the owner said the timing wasn’t right?
Anyway you stack it up, someone’s not being completely honest.
Ask any fan of the 91 others if they thought our club was broken ?He's explained things were already broken, tried to fix it with MR and AV, couldn’t. We move on. How long would you wait? I like his decisiveness. I want our club to be successful and appreciate his argument.
