Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread (52 Viewers)

[SKYBLUES90]

Overson now speaking relatively positive about Doug.

It's telling that a bloke very close to Robins and someone like Dawkins who's clearly been critical on Doug are speaking well of him.

Because King went for the jugular…

[Ccfcisparks]

Just listened to Doug again. Why am I starting to believe some of the stuff he says…

 

[clint van damme]

Sheaf has tapped out ,his performances this season align with that

Have been racking my brains to think of a worse captains perfotmance than his against Derby.
there must be several but none spring to mind.

 

[Nick]

I cannot believe someone who's so close to Robins is speaking so well of Doug.

Whats he saying?

Wasnt he posting about the frog crossing the river or whatever the other day?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

What im confused , did mark want n2 ?

Based on what Doug King said, no. Based on @usskyblue MR met Ramsey with a view to being #2 and that was jettisoned because ‘now is not the right time’.

Which means that DK may be lying but I just don’t think that would be sensible to say it publicly where Robins could either sue or simply rebut them.

 

[GIMOC]

That players and coaches don't have the same schedule

Wouldn’t travel on the same coach. They do it one after the other

 

[GaryJones]

Thought it was interesting that DK cited Andy Turners article in the Cov Tel as the reason for the initial fall out between Mark Robins and Adi.

 

[clint van damme]

Just listened to Doug again. Why am I starting to believe some of the stuff he says…

Because its true.
Doesn't mean everything he said was.

Nah, he's realised the power has left him and if he wants a seat at the table it's Dougs show now so get on board and try to get back in the fold.

XJ220. Cracking car to be fair to him

 

[LJC_CCFC]

Sheaf has tapped out ,his performances this season align with that

Tapped out/regressed to norm with injuries. Either way if you look at the midfielders who signed for bottom five Prem clubs in the last week of the window, it throws doubt on his chances of getting a move then.

Do you know what , no point me getting hung up on small details fuck it , what's done is done .

I'm not a big fan of doug but I'm a massive fan of coventry city and that's all that matters

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

Wasn’t there a rumour about a physio?

that is not true

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Whoever that is, bang out of order. Not only sharing it with you or others, but suggesting two team mate 'didn't fancy it' and another 'claimed' concussion, and one 'bottled it' fk me who needs outsiders trying to beat us if we're doing this to ourselves? Proper snake behaviour and really should be called out.

What the fuck does it say, looks like it’s been deleted?

 

[David O'Day]

Wouldn’t travel on the same coach. They do it one after the other

you are contradicting yourself

you've been fed bullshit

 

[Perennial Lurker]

So we believe after 6/7 years of progression and highs that Robins didn't rate Adi?

 

[rob9872]

What the fuck does it say, looks like it’s been deleted?

Was a shot of a message being derogatory about Dovin Simms and Sheaf which came from a player via 3rd party to Gimoc

 

[fernandopartridge]

Sheaf has tapped out ,his performances this season align with that

Rubbish. He was pretty poor v Derby but clearly came back a few yards off his best. Was very good v Luton and Middlesbrough.

 

[skybluecam]

So we believe after 6/7 years of progression and highs that Robins didn't rate Adi?

King didn't say that, he said they fell out and Robins didn't want to work with him?

 

[Nick]

What are you on about now? Randomly just making things up.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Was a shot of a message being derigatort about Dovin Simms and Sheaf which came from a player via 3rd party to Gimoc

Wonder who deleted it ?

Where?

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Or "couldn't work with him" ?
Easier?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

@GIMOC mate can you ask Kitching when he intends to fuck off

 

[Nick]

Or "couldn't work with him" ?
Easier?

Completely different to what you said.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

King didn't say that, he said they fell out and Robins didn't want to work with him?

Sounds likely after our recent success

 

[Otis]

TBH what the fcuk has she done wrong to get abuse.. social media is a toxic shit pit at times. Bet she’s feeling really seeing some of comments on message boards since she was recruited. Also shows as we suspect the club does read what’s being said.

What?

No abuse from me. Just saying she's a doctor.

 

[rob9872]

Wonder who deleted it ?

Tbf to Gimoc he did himself when challenged but doesn't alter that if it's true players shouldn't be sending that bollocks and should keep it in the dressing room. Assume someone who's not getting game time at present.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Do you know what , no point me getting hung up on small details fuck it , what's done is done .

I'm not a big fan of doug but I'm a massive fan of coventry city and that's all that matters

Agreed.

It’s all done now and Robins will always be a legend and has given me my best days as a City supporter. No one can take that from me or anyone else who shares my sentiment.

What is important now is that this next appointment takes the club forward.

When (or if) the day comes in the next few seasons and we get promoted, I will be sparing a thought for MR because it would’ve been nice for him to take us to the Prem.

I'm torn here about the new appointment, think the best think to let everything settle down is get the new man in ASAP but at the same time if King isn't sure don't want him to make a knee jerk appointment.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Completely different to what you said.

But you will still dodge the question either way

 

[skyblueexile]

I don't know what planet some of the 'fans' are on.!
I for one find King is a straight speaker and he has no reason not to be
It took courage to lead tonight and he gave a good account of himself. He is his own man who sinks or swim.by his decisions but it is clear Robbins had stopped listening

I like him - lets look again at end of.January

To Robbins I wish.him all the best.he needs to find a club where he is number one and he has complete control but with no other opinions to.consider

 

[Evo1883]

And il put my hands up there's probably some bitterness from me towards doug for this sacking and that's maybe clouding my thinking , maybe mark ended up digging himself a hole who knows I'm just gutted how it ended for him here and wish it was him that took us to the top.

So I apologise for being bitter and angry towards people since Thursday .. this genuinley has ate me up a bit

 

[Nick]

But you will still dodge the question either way

What the fuck are you on about?

You said about something that wasn't said. There's nothing to dodge.

 

[PVA]

Shit, just received this. Don't shoot the messenger
