And literally never seem to mention the COO who came in to replace Boddy, who is likely much more influential.

I'd forgotten he existed until yesterday. Probably because he didn't get a huge spread in the CET when appointed.
But Id bet hes got a massive hand in the way Robins has been treated and is also a massive c**t.

I expect he advises King on football matters rather than the PD.

because his remit is non football related

he's in charge of the day to day non football operations

you are better than this

So who's driving this? This is what I keep asking.
King said he knows nothing about football, what made him decide to overhaul the coaching structure?

I keep getting shot down but no one will give an answer.
Is there a modern football for dummies book ge could have got his ideas from?

1) King while not knowing about football can look at league table and panic. He can also look at performances like last night and panic. He can also listen to Robins interview after the game where he basically worried me as he seemed to say he has no idea what is happening. There's not always a conspiracy or a "shadowy cabel" prompting things.

2) If you have to believe someone is advising him then he is just of not more likely to speak to his COO who is a long term football exec.

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

Really? What does he do?

It’s King. No one will advise him and he’ll appoint whoever he wants. My money is on a cheap, statistics driven yes man with little football knowledge but a proven track record in process engineering.

You've been snooping on my LinkedIn haven't you?

King will be delighted if he reads this thread. He’s now got his way out of criticism.

All he needs to do is turn up at that forum next week in a frock, with a fake pair of tits using she/her pronouns.

Once he’s identifying as a women all criticism can be silenced with cries of “sexism”.

Not sure thisis correct.
1 poster said that things are further down the line than people realise. Same poster said last night that Robins was in jeopardy.
Icanvelieve it to be honest, think it's been in the pipeline for ages.
I imagine this is the reason why Matty James wasn’t signed and Chris Ramsey wasn’t appointed. Dead man walking.

Is it possible that "collectively" (whatever that means for CCFC) they've decided that our performances and results aren't acceptable? If you take all emotion and sentiment out of it, that's what most owners will be looking at. Doesn't really need to be someone telling DK that MR needs replacing.

Thanks for trying to provide an answer.
If you're right, who are the collective?

Well I don't know. Maybe it is just DK, hence why I put in quotations. We don't know. I personally don't think Dr C would've been pushing for it. I personally think DK has looked at the results and performances over the last half a season and thought it wasn't acceptable. As admitted, he wasnt a football man before he join us. He doesn't get the emotion and attachment that goes with it. If we, the fans, strip all that away then it's not really any great surprise why it's happened.

I’m not sure I’m comfortable with coaches having that level of authority over the team manager. They should be subordinate to him.

The only person/people the manager should be responsible to is the chairman and directors

I'm not suggesting the coaches did have any involvement. "Collectively" means an unknown to us. Could be just DK.

Well I must say the Performance Director has made a massive impact in her very short time with the club.

Unfortunately, it’s been a huge negative impact. Well done everyone involved in the process. You must be proud of your achievement.

Come on then, please explain?

I would expect that after buying the club he has gone and got advice, possibly externally, about how top teams are set up and run and has decided to try and implement that here. Ou're right, he won't have come up with this himself but i suspect he has just looked at how it is done elsewhere and wants to replicate that.

None of us know what's not worked this season and why, with any luck this change brings someone in that works well with the new set up and we improve. I didn't want to see Robins gone but whatever happens i want to see the team turn the results around and drag themselves upthe table.

the "supporters forum" which'll be by invite only and advance Qs to be submitted in advance most likely
Of course it's invite only and a process to hand pick Qs......he's very naive if he thinks this will calm the storm
He should've fronted up on radio yesterday......a further press release on why and another praising MR to the hill and then followed this up with a forum but for it to be a little more open.....I get controls, etc but there's a half way house.

Pretty much answered both your questions here, or were you so enraged you didn’t bother reading the statement that was put out yesterday? -

A CEO doesn't need to know how to install a gas meter to run British Gas. He does however need to adapt the organisation to deliver, investing where it makes most sense.

A modern football club is just another business, but with customers emotionally invested.

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.
