Nah, poor returns on investment. Robins needs to produce results. If he does, people will want a fee for him when another club comes in for him.

Doesn’t post anymore but Sky Blue Kid said he played professionalApart 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?
We have a lot of professional bedwetters if that countsDoesn’t post anymore but Sky Blue Kid said he played professional
King’s body language at the event on Monday didn’t look that chuffed I’ll say.Yes
No question
Its very easy to present a united front to press, supporters etc, but behind the scenes the honeymoon period between them and other staff has long since ended
Yeah, it's a nonsense... although tbf we don't know how impatient an owner King will be, yet, and won't until he demonstrates. He wouldn't be the first chairman to make a mental decision over the manager after all!

No one at the club was happy with Kings waltz in and do as i say bravado at first
This got worse when he decided he would run all aspects, hence the kit fiasco, the ticket uturns etc
Things improved when Robins returned as he spelt out in no uncertain terms running a football club the same as other business just will not work
But there's always been an underlying problem of some sort ever since he arrived. Im sure il be called 'anti King' etc as usual. Dont get me wrong, he's done a lot, the training ground, the improved pitch and facilities etc, and the club is definitely on a better place under him
Doesnt stop him being a narcissist and ego shagger on a daily basis to staff however
You'd hope so, but sometimes this board makes me doubt my own sanity!He wouldn't but I'd imagine a backlash beyond what he'd imagine possible should he sack Robins for our start which is simply bang average
He can do what he wants as the owner but it’s pretty clear he will be here for a few years to get facilities and the club on a better footing before flogging the club. That’s why the club was handed to him by Sisu.
Completely agree but there are always a few misguided fans at any clubI still find it difficult to believe people seriously want Robins out, the man has been with us for 6 years now and somehow against ‘all the odds’ he’s managed to improve the club’s position and profile ‘year on year’ we probably overachieved last season with 2 players instrumental in the play-off push.
He’s lost both of those players now and others, he’s been forced into the transfer market knowing full well he’s signing players inferior to those he’s lost, I still have every confidence that in time he will get back from the team the same effort and commitment he’s always put in.
Doug would be a complete mug to throw away the single biggest asset this club has.
Keep the Faith🩵
Lol at you now having the inside scoop on a deal you insisted was never actually happeningHanded being the correct word
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.
Fans will have a chance to back the club again on Season Ticket renewal. If they aren’t happy with what is happening at the moment, then maybe they misunderstood what this season is about? I must admit, I’m not exactly punching air. At the moment it’s a lottery as to where the next points come from.
Of course not and I don’t think anybody is saying that, I just think most appreciate the fantastic job he has done here, despite the substantial restraints he’s been working under.So he has a job for life, regardless of performance?

If you had consistently excelled in your job for 6 years straight, then had your favourite tools removed and hit a bit of a sticky patch for 5 weeks and were then fired, I’m sure you would feel massively let downand rightly so imho.
Talk of sacking Robins, Robins walking etc is nonsense …..
…. Thank god fans don’t get close to running the club.

They’re brain dead morons though to be fairMental isn't it. People hav forgotten what I was like before Robins and what has happened since he's arrived.
There's people out there who think he's close to going ffs
Yes
No question

Here we go, is this like the summer where there was no signings so there had been a fall out?
The ‘gelling’ excuse………Do you really see it as an excuse, good teams often take years to reach their full potential.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 remember sitting in a 75% empty Ricoh arena in league 2 watching absolute dross being gradually dragged painstaking up and out towards where we currently are, all because of Mark Robins. This despite being hamstrung by Sisu and what went with it.I still find it difficult to believe people seriously want Robins out, the man has been with us for 6 years now and somehow against ‘all the odds’ he’s managed to improve the club’s position and profile ‘year on year’ we probably overachieved last season with 2 players instrumental in the play-off push.

Absolutely, tbh after the big changes to the playing squad between the end of last season and the beginning of this, especially losing ‘arguably’ the 2 best players in the league, I honestly believed this would be something of a transitional seasonI remember sitting in a 75% empty Ricoh arena in league 2 watching absolute dross being gradually dragged painstaking up and out towards where we currently are, all because of Mark Robins. This despite being hamstrung by Sisu and what went with it.
If we fail to reach the play offs or even finish bottom half I for one am prepared to give Robins another season after what he's done for us.
Or Lampard?The way things are going at Birmingham, Rooney will soon be available.
I don’t understand your fascination with this.Handed being the correct word
I don’t understand your fascination with this.
Owners are judged on what they do when they own the club, not what lead them to own it.
Newcastle fans don’t care about Sportswashing they are enjoying the ride and playing Champions League Football. They know that their owners are not Newcastle fans, and don’t give a toss about the north east …. It’s irrelevant …. They judge them on how the club is being run and progressing under their ownership.
He should apply for a job in an old folks homeThe way things are going at Birmingham, Rooney will soon be available.
