The fantastic recruitment in the summer we sold Hamer and Gyokeres was pivotal. Our current back 4 and back up CB were all signed that summer. Simms Wright and Sakamoto still playing a big part, Torp was signed in the January. Feel like it gets over looked how well we spent that money.

Doug made all of this possible. We were floundering until he came a long and brought all of this together.

If we go up Lampard will be the one who deserves the credit for getting us back into the PL - his record since taking over has been incredible.

Robins is obviously the biggest proportion of credit if you're going back to league 2 as the starting point. It's easy to forget just how disjointed and toxic this club was at that time. We easily could've just become a club like Wigan / Bolton / MK Dons and just been league 1&2 fodder in a half empty stadium with awful owners because Sisu couldn't get us to an acceptable level to sell.

For me though the most impressive thing he did was stabilising us in the Championship. That first season back up was like boys v giants against some of those championship teams - I remember celebrating a point against Norwich like we'd just beaten Man City - we felt so far off competing with them. To then get us to a pen shoot-out away from the premier league was ridiculous really.

Obviously King has come in and his gamble with Lampard has clearly paid off. Lampard is doing a great job and deserves enormous credit if we go up, especially as champions but if the statue has Lampard's head, it needs to have Robins' body. *

*The statue comment is symbolism - I don't actually want a Frankenstein statue
@mrfr I think someone's asking for an AI generated statue pic.....
