CEO's can change industries and still be effective, precisely because they understand the fundamentals of running a business well. The operational stuff is where you invest in knowledge and experience to add specialised skills. I see with DK a CEO's approach, investing where needed, dissipating risk by not relying on a single character to determine the business's opertional performance, and subsequently acting when results risk performance delivery.But he would need to know how a utility business is structured and if he didn't he need to bring people on board who did.
The structure of a football club, particularly on the playing/coaching side will not be like anything King has encountered in his other businesses so he will definitely have need to consult someone.
It has been 24 hours since he was sacked.Given that there doesn’t seem to be anyone lined up seems like nobody has been advising him.
Odd that the general feeling is King has wanted to do this for a while yet, unless they’ve kept it very quiet and away from the ITKs, doesn’t seem to have anyone lined up to replace him.

I'm a fan of MR, any cov fan should be, but in the cold light of day he simply isn't getting the results we want (or expected recently). Those expectation are largely driven by the action of DK investing massively to get us to the prem. Something had to change and unfortunately, for better or worse (time will tell), it's an operational change. So, following this logic, we should hope to see someone very effective coming in to replace MR (again time will tell).
Okay, if he has asked anyone anything football related it is like to be John Taylor a professional football exec or Dean Austin the ex spurs defender a lot more than the PD.Point 2 is all I've been asking. That would make sense.
Point 1 I don't think is relevant because it's been in the pipeline from before the season started as far as I'm concerned
Fair. Obviously I only know rumours of why backroom staff departed, but I do know from experience, any organisation that runs like a personsality cult, with one person having unbalanced amounts of influence is general not healthy for anyone but them. I'm not saying that's the case with MR, but IF it was, it might explain why the mood around the place shifted so rapidly after Adi's departure.I'm not disagreeing CEOs can, and do, change industries.
I'm merely saying he wouldn't have had it in his locker to overhaul the coaching side which I think you're sort of saying.
My issue is the way he went about it and by removing Robins assistant and changing the demographic of the squad I think he set Robins up to fail.
Do we know he hasn’t got a replacement lined up? The statement says an 'immediate' change is required.Given that there doesn’t seem to be anyone lined up seems like nobody has been advising him.

There's no point bringing anyone in before Sunderland anyway.
You have no idea what's going on behind the scenes.
Imagine believing that bullshit.
I thought you were an arse previously but I've agreed with every post you've made the last few days
I think i fancy you now
I’d imagine the COO who never gets mentioned on here.
No. I've Been going a lot longer than just this season.
And this process clearly started long before this season, which was my point.
The poor start was the excuse he needed.
Last time i looked out the window it was grey in Cheylesmore you clown. He is giving his reason to the the fans first not the media so he isn't fucking hiding from scrutiny is he, what he is doing is letting the likes of you and me know first. I don't read the Sun but if I were into making assumptions I would say you read Razzle as its got more pictures than text.By running away and declining to give proper comment to any outlet until it suits him, that’s not how front works. How gullable are you? Typical Sun reader seeing out your days in Benidorm.
Thoughts on the poor start/end to last season?
The poor start to this season?
MR himself a couple of weeks ago alluded to the fact he’s on thin ice.
Im sorry you can’t argue with the fact the performances haven’t been good for a very long time, ultimately that falls on MR.

Just going off what the club / King has said. Not like we can get any more detail as King has suddenly gone from wanting to be in the local media at the drop of the hat to refusing to answer questions.Do we know he hasn’t got a replacement lined up? The statement says an 'immediate' change is required.
The Club will take its time to appoint a successor to Mark, although the position will be that of Head Coach working within the new structure set up by the Club over the last two years.
I don't conflate seasons to try and prove a point in the same way I'm not interested in us being one of the highest scorers of 2024. It means nothing.
As for this season, Robins bears a lot of responsibility but, as I've mentioned, he's had tools removed from him that he's used to bring us success, why?
And that's on King.
That's the big issue for me, Robins was everything to everyone. King changed that and perhaps he was struggling to adapt in the new structure, the players have certainly struggled. I've been in the same position in business, you get frustrated when they take away the levers you are used to pulling to make things happen. To be fair to Robins he didn't look like he was enjoying it on Wednesday night we've never seen him so agitated on the sideline its not his style. DK needs to explain on Monday the decision and then we can all debate the reasons, one thing for sure is that it wasn't a happy ship at Ryton evidently.I don't conflate seasons to try and prove a point in the same way I'm not interested in us being one of the highest scorers of 2024.

<groan>Is it the dove from above?
Ok. Take this season alone, have the results/performances been acceptable for the value of squad that is at MR disposal?
Tools removed - The same tools that were available when we look back at the results/performances of recent years that again showed immense flaws way before king brought in his so called cronies.
This idea that MR was untouchable and King has pulled a blinder getting rid of him is laughable.
Yeah I think that's selective.I’d imagine the COO who never gets mentioned on here.
When did I say he wasn’t a success? MR will go down in the clubs history for what he’s done, I can’t thank him enough for what he achieved in the last 8 years.
HOWEVER
How much longer should we have given him? 17 games, 2 international breaks and I can count on one hand how many good performances we’ve managed to muster up this season.
Derby haven’t won a game away this season, they will be fighting relegation this season and we couldn’t beat them at home. Wednesday looked like two teams who will be fighting relegation
Numerous changes to formations/personal. Nothings worked. I’m sorry MR was out of ideas and looked lost. Maybe your right King has to take some responsibility but im sure if King did nothing and were the back end of April with a chance of being relegated we’d be up in arms for why he didn’t pull the plug earlier.
Or perhaps he might just not turn up.At least DK is going to front up, he is not speaking to the press before the supporters forum. Perhaps he might answer your question then?
fuck off - what specifically about her job responsibilities is it that she’s not doing?Get a life you woke twat. Apologies if I used an incorrect pronoun. I’m criticising someone’s performance not their gender.
fuck off - what specifically about her job responsibilities is it that she’s not doing?
or are you just confused because it has performance in her title so basically whenever we lose it’s her fault in your neanderthal brain
Should imagine if the targets are in employment I would think Deadly Doug has been told to f%ck off!I’m sure they’ll have identified targets a while ago and had unofficial conversations.
You tell me given you’re so enraged? Clearly there as aspects that she is not delivering on that you guys are all livid about. Of course i’m assuming your rounded opinion went further than “performance”?What is her job then?

and of course shmeee is livid she has a director title
i actually got you confused with the other poster sorry it’s earlyEnraged?
You’ve come to the conclusion that I’m enraged because I’ve asked what her job is.
It was a genuine question.
You seem very defensive of her
Is it the dove from above?

Who has been advising him on who to look for as a replacement and how has it been kept quiet?
great question. should probably get the answers before crucifyingSo how is she, or any other performance director judged?
What are their objectives and KPIs. And how long do they need to be in situ before we see results?
