Well Wenger had plenty of credit to his name, but towards the end he knew his time was up.

…. Thank god fans don’t get close to running the club.
Can someone remind me if SBT was having a competition for the most wackiest post of the year?If we were to sack Robins - I’d go and get Evatt at Bolton
The post is asking if King would wield the axe? I’m just suggesting an alternative - Evatt has done a great job at Bolton. Football is good aswellCan someone remind me if SBT was having a competition for the most wackiest post of the year?
If so, I’m going to vote on this one.
I’ve written some flim flam in the past on SBT but this one’s going to get pinned on the office wall for the first team meeting to enjoy.
Good job we’re not in charge of appointing football managers on here!
Out of interest how do you know DK wasn’t happy?I would suggest DK is ruthless. He was not happy after the game on Wednesday that is for sure. I predict a change at Xmas if we do not improve. Currently the issue is with certain new players who are under performing
Is it the players or the management style ??
We're not going to be in a relegation fight and Robins is going nowhere, silly thread.
Every season he has improved us, one step back and for anyone to be giving the WUM OP the time of day, shows how ridiculous this place can get.

Starting to think he keeps saying ‘they’re really good players’ because his mate recommended themnone of us were happy after Rotherham. Fans or management. Saying DK wasn’t happy isn’t really telling.
Even robins said it wasn’t good enough and no excuses.
I sat very close to him !!Out of interest how do you know DK wasn’t happy?
I’d imagine that the players that have been here a while are brassed off with some of the new players though.

How do you know that, Robins signs the players he admitted that the other night and has probably watched them a number of times on video, maybe live.Starting to think he keeps saying ‘they’re really good players’ because his mate recommended them
We have appointed a non league scout as the head of recruitment because he’s Robins’ mate. Quelle surprise that he recommended an £8m donkeyHow do you know that, Robins signs the players he admitted that the other night and has probably watched them a number of time on video, maybe live.
Scouts don’t sign players or decide any fee.
We signed eleven two of which are loans one a goalkeeper so which ones have been a disappointment quality wise.Another couple of defeats and i have a feeling something will happen. Either the recruitment team take the hit, any further spending is placed on hold in January or DK & Robins have a fall out. Something's certainly not right at the club be in spirit, togetherness that fight to the end of a game like the last four seasons has gone. I think the old guard around the club privately would say they are disappointed with the quality recruited so far. The best players brought in could be argued are frees & the Binks loan.
We are almost into November and the new signings have been disappointing to say the least. The 'gelling' excuse wont wash for much longer and internally i feel there will be some repercussions somewhere. DK as an operator we don't know how he works, but he doesn't appear to be a soft touch and if things don't improve soon who knows.
I think the recruitment team will be gone in the next few weeks personally prior to the January transfer window. Robins has to much credit to even be considered removing from his post.
I think Simms & Wright as the big money signing have been terrible.We signed eleven two of which are loans one a goalkeeper so which ones have been a disappointment quality wise.
Not been watching Simms and Wright I seeWe signed eleven two of which are loans one a goalkeeper so which ones have been a disappointment quality wise.
But crucially not much under our new novice owner who’s shown he’s not afraid to go against the grainNo, but he's got an awful lot in the bank.

It’s set up perfectly for the homecomingAnd he will get some serious applications for the job with a choice of potentially good replacements
Oh come on, he did bring Ricardo Di Trolio with him he should get a pass on that £8mWe have appointed a non league scout as the head of recruitment because he’s Robins’ mate. Quelle surprise that he recommended an £8m donkey
Kenny Jackett ??And he will get some serious applications for the job with a choice of potentially good replacements

A very apt surname that should have tipped us offOh come on, he did bring Ricardo Di Trolio with him he should get a pass on that £8m
Agree with that. New chairmen especially know no more than more enlightened knoweldgable fans about choosing a manager, although they may have better access to specialist advice within the industry.That is the crucial thing. With all due respect what does Doug know about picking a manager (or anyone else at the club for that matter).
It's a very rapid way to blow a lot of money in a short space of time (which we have already done once) because inevitably a new man/woman will want to (rightly) bring in their own players.
(Not that I think it would be a good idea).
Wasn’t Wilder sacked after losing to us?Agree with that. New chairmen especially know no more than more enlightened knoweldgable fans about choosing a manager, although they may have better access to specialist advice within the industry.
MR needs to be given 2 seasons to work with this squad and show signs of improvements. Panic sackings are never good as last season confirms and look at Middlesborough!
Kenny Jackett ??
13 games and calling someone a donkey is not something I expect from you. Wright hasn’t performed but we aren’t playing to his strengths. His goals record in other leagues is decent and he’s played at the most recent World Cup, that tells me he’s good enough . Trouble is no one has any patience these days and expect an instant impactWe have appointed a non league scout as the head of recruitment because he’s Robins’ mate.

Agree that was probably unwarranted. Just frustrated.13 games and calling someone a donkey is not something I expect from you. Wright hasn’t performed but we aren’t playing to his strengths.

He has a long-term contract as well. If I were Doug I’d be wanting a bit of value out of this commitment. Robins may well need a bit of support rather than being cast aside. In terms of investment, both DK and Robins continue to remind us that we are a project. It seems very early to talk about changing the manager.So he has a job for life, regardless of performance?
I expect it from some of the other neanderthals on here haha. I am also frustrated, the performance in the last one and a half games was dire, no question. But there have been times we have looked a good team but not took our chances. I still think Simms and Wright come good but I would rather we try the box again for a bit once O’Hare is back up to speed and Allen is is fit againAgree that was probably unwarranted. Just frustrated.
Apart from the first sentence I share your views on Wright. Give him some credit. Not many of us on here have played at a professional level here have we?13 games and calling someone a donkey is not something I expect from you.

He’s clearly got ability, just isn’t clicking for him at the moment. That’s partly due to the lack of service too. I think Robins alluded that he found the transition to life in Coventry quite difficult, of course that’s going to effect his performances tooApart from the first sentence I share your views on Wright.
