@BlueSkiesForever I take it back, this is the guy.
@BlueSkiesForever I take it back, this is the guy.Doug King is a very bright and successful business man,I'm sure if he decides Mark Robins needs to go he will be seeking the very best advice available to him.
I can see why Doug might hold off, I know it'll go down really badly with a large percentage if he does sack Robins.
Seen more people saying Doug out than Robins out and honestly I just don't get it, it's like people will look to anyone to blame other than the manager.
You've rumbled me@BlueSkiesForever I take it back, this is the guy.
I hope so but his track record as a football club owner isn’t very good. Surely no one was advising him revoking JSB tickets if they didn’t attend enough games was a good idea.Doug King is a very bright and successful business man,I'm sure if he decides Mark Robins need to go he will be seeking the very best advice available to him.
Maybe we could do worse than to sack off the recruitment team that brought us the League 1 dream team and reinstate the one that brought in actual rough diamonds.Because Robins hasn’t gone from the best manager of my lifetime to this for no reason. And whether Viveash had to go or not, what’s replaced him and Lawrence has been pure garbage. Even the rumoured assistant was uninspiring. And when Robins goes that’s it. The last of the stuff that made us what we’ve been following the last seven years. And I don’t think anyone has any faith in King, who has walked into the biggest transfer kitty this club has ever seen combined with one of the best coaching setups the club has had and fucked it one obvious noob to the sport decision after another.
Robins might need to go. But I dread what comes next. And if it’s not going to be shite it’s going to have to be without Doug sticking his nose in because that never works.

As I said make all the excuses you want, he has been great but if he takes us back to League 1 with a team that cost over £40 million he's fucked it hasn't he. It's not even clear what he's trying to do right now, it looks like the throw shit at the wall and hope it sticks strategy.Because Robins hasn’t gone from the best manager of my lifetime to this for no reason.

YesWho was it that found the likes of Vik, Gus, O’Hare etc? Badlan?
Where do you think this squad should be?As I said make all the excuses you want, he has been great but if he takes us back to League 1 with a team that cost over £40 million he's fucked it hasn't he.

Also it's weird to pretend like Robins has no say on the players coming in. Kitching for example, who people seem to have it in for, was very much a Robins signing.

It's pretty much the same squad as last season but if anything slightly improved. We finished 9th right? You can draw your own conclusions on what I'd find acceptable from that.Where do you think this squad should be?
as in league position
We paid c.£20m for the players on our bench todayMaybe we could do worse than to sack off the recruitment team that brought us the League 1 dream team and reinstate the one that brought in actual rough diamonds.
Surely you’ve got a foreign manager for us?
Being as your're a clairvoyant Mr Robins give me lottery numbers for the midweek draw.There are many managers who ending up getting religated and out of a job thinking the same thing.I couldnt care less, I know it will turn around it always does, same thing every year
I'm not of "same bedwetters" in fact I said Robins should stay but his inablity to make REAL changes when needed leave me have doughtsIt will, same bedwetters every year having the same reactions at the same stuff happening just with less excuses as to why its happening (pitch debacle, training ground)
Not many teams get in top six with less than 75 points so we need to average over 1.86 points a game from now till the end(lord knows what it will be in Janurary),current average 0.8.I think notWith investment in Jan (2 loans, maybe 1 perm) then yeah. This is the same team (- O’hare) that made it to the FA cup Semi’s and up until then was top 6
Good job Derrick Robins didn't think that in 1959 when he appointed JH, Billy Frith had a better points average than MR.None of them will be any better than MR, and there wont be hundreds of serious candidates applying, probably maximum 5
Ipso factoWe paid c.£20m for the players on our bench today
Genuinely, if Badlan is still out of a job, give him one.I’ve said before that the recruitment team is where I’d spend some serious cash. Outside the PL, the role they play in terms of revenue is colossal.

That’s why Blackpool sacked him. Funnily enough not a sackable offence for whoever does it here!Any recollection what he was dismissed for? Something tells me it was leaking team sheets. Ironic if so.

No offence taken ClintNo offence, but I'd say this is utter bollocks.
King has shown that he doesn't take advice
And him being a succesful businessman means fuck all, far better than him have failed in football.

Except it hasn't turned out that way, has it?Why do you think he’d want robins out ? got him to a play off final, he wanted a cup run and he got him a great cup run, guessing there were prob a few words said between them over transfers, there’s no way robins wanted to start the season with that midfield or defence, I’m sure there was an interview with king where he said he’d give robins everything he needed to get us to where we want to be ? that doesn’t sound like an owner trying to force the manager out ?

Im on the fence. Fundamentally I believe in stability and I believe in Robins being able to get it right. But it’s so dire and I worry the damage has already been done with the poor transfer policy and poor coaching selection, neither of which will be fixed.
It’s all so shit and I think it goes deeper than the manager. Maybe that denial that it’s all over, I just don’t have any faith in what comes next.
Ah the old "let's not use his name but use that" one as if it proves a point.Currently the Robins out section just consists of the forum moderator
The award for OTT melodramatic post of the day goes to…Personally I would just liquidate the club and give us all a nice free weekend every week. Would be a lot less depressing.
Honestly fuck off the lot of you
I’ve not been to Colchester and Wycombe on cold midweek nights for some twat who couldn’t be arsed to go when we were shit to slag the man who brought us back from there off
I couldn’t care less.. Mark Robins will turn it round, I’m confident of it
A load of entitled twats who only jumped on the bandwagon when we won a few games will never make me change my mind either
My opinion of the whole experience of watching Coventry City FC and it’s fanbase is about as low as it gets right now, I’d take being back to 10,000 crowds and away ends where you can buy on the day of the game in a heartbeat right now cause if you want my opinion the majority of our fans are self entitled, arrogant c*nts
They pick and choose when to turn in a performance. I’ve got little time for most of them to be honest, you’ve got a manager up to his neck in the brown stuff while also dealing with personal problems and you turn in some of the worst games of his entire spell in charge?Do you honestly think the players we have are that bad? I don’t, as it happens.
Is superfan meant to be an insult to those who could be arsed with CCFC when we were shit and easy to get tickets?When the superfan speaks, you listen.
No point to prove, it’s definitely you leading the charge on it today.Ah the old "let's not use his name but use that" one as if it proves a point.
At least get it right though.
