''the deck'' it's not a skateboarding club ffs

[CovInEssex]

Are they talking about Pokemon decks...have I got the wrong station on

 

[Nick]

King says he isn't against loans.
"Why are you against loans"

 

[David O'Day]

Hi Doug when you read this back later!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Funny how he hasn’t mentioned this forum as a factor in the sacking once

 

[covcity4life]

You're fucking mad ifvyou think this won't be divisive.
Shouldn't have done it. Should have just let things settle down.

"Should have left me thinking I was right"

 

[clint van damme]

Fucking audience members calling it a deck now. Should be a criminal offence

 

[sw88]

Lock your wives up, Adis coming back as manager / head of coaching

 

[Mr Panda]

Viveash was always the brains behind the scenes

 

[sw88]

Awful wasn’t it it’s catching

 

[jordan210]

so does Doug read the forum. If so Hi Doug

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains your source is taking a battering tonight.

All il say is wait for the Robins response.

No point even trying to argue it on here Is there

 

[CovInEssex]

King says he isn't against loans.
"Why are you against loans"

Too many people asking questions that are just NPCs

 

[clint van damme]

"Should have left me thinking I was right"

Would that have mattered?
Things would have settled down, this is just going to escalate things

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

You're fucking mad ifvyou think this won't be divisive.
Shouldn't have done it. Should have just let things settle down.

Agreed. This is a car crash idea. The next head coach better be a fucking tactical genius

 

[Sky_Blue_Daz]

This Austin fella sounds like John Sitton , if says bring ya dinner it’s all going to go off

 

[TomRad85]

Pete's wishy washy questions need binning off now then.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

If that’s how he closes I am throwing my ST card

Dont do that I did it one season ended up paying for three matches if I recall

 

[chiefdave]

Sorry, this just reeks of absolute bullshit. Every loan player who was shit was a player Robins personally insisted on

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Why should King just sit back and take a battering from Cov fans, if this is true?

 

[Lee_20]

Mmm... Loan players were used effectively before, under his ward, and led to some significant successes, so this now is beginning to drift away from some kind of logic... Doug, make it make sense...

 

[SkyBluePower]

Austen sounds thick as mince. No wonder he got shafted on every deal

 

[Nick]

Robins wanted Wilson Esbrand before Austin came in. He only started 7 games, his agent was dictating what he does.

If we bring players in from high calibre clubs and don't give them game time we don't help with their parent club.

We tried to get an option to buy McNally but they wouldn't do it.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Maybe I’m wrong but both sounding responsible with the loans

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

All il say is wait for the Robins response.

No point even trying to argue it on here Is there

Well if it’s wrong I expect Robins to sue for libel

 

[Jamesimus]

Interesting to hear Robins was desperate to get a deal done for Wilson Esbrand, who let’s face it wasn’t that great. And they thought Doyle would start slow and he didn’t.

Also mentioned trying to get McNally on a permanent but Burnley wouldn’t go for it.

 

[Evo1883]

Agreed. This is a car crash idea. The next head coach better be a fucking tactical genius

I'm sure the next head coach will be delighted that the owner is happy to throw him under the bus if fans aren't happy with a decision he's made

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

Decided to listen. Robins being proper chucked under the bus

IF..true, deserves it.. note I say IF

 

[chiefdave]

All il say is wait for the Robins response.

probably tied up in knots with an NDR if he wants he contact paid off

 

[TomRad85]

They definitely read sbt

Rubishing claims about average age and loans

Good for them. As for people saying it's divisive, why would let people carry on saying you got rid of Adi, you forced new coaches on Robins, if it wasn't true?
He's standing his ground.

 

[covcity4life]

Maybe lamps ain't actually close?

 

[quinn1971]

Whatever your view on the situation, this is a tarnishing of Robins legacy.

Not sure about that, we all know what robins did for the club, that won’t change, he’s just given the reason why he sacked him

 

[ptr]

Obviously he’s got a plan ffs who is this.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Lock your wives up, Adis coming back as manager / head of coaching

No chance.

Some of the players made it clear to Robins and Doug it was him or them. That includes our captain, who is still here.

 

[Woodster]

This is a completely unnecessary exercise and is going to make things far worse. Pretty sure this isn’t to be informative to fans, it’s to service Doug’s ego and pass as much blame off himself as possible. Sacked because he couldn’t get a suitable number 2? Pull the otherfuckingone.
