Robins started it. It was his interview a couple of weeks before Adi's when Robins called him difficult - Viveash gone

Yer same. Adi left on 1st July and assume club knew he was going before then. Plenty of time to get someone in before the season started. Robins has worked with a few assistants, so wouldn't expect him to be stubborn or picky about it or feel his job threatened.

Quizzed on Lampard Want to get it right Agree with fans last night, don't want a revolving door Taking time to get it right Got the international break, but if it takes longer, it takes longer What is the target for the new manager? We've got to the playoffs from this position before If you...

Jordan asked if Mark was surprised, Doug said no

Doug on Talksport - Intense hour would seem their relationship became more difficult tried to replace adi, haven't been able to hugely difficult decision to let mark go expected the backlash

Exactly this. So many previous players have spoken warmly about Viveash, I think it's very unlikely that the club would side with 1 or 2 players that didn't supposedly like him. It's more plausible that two stubborn men fell out and neither wanted to say sorry.

Why have you stuck a piece of lego up your arse?

TL;DR, but...re-reading King's comments - Transcription from his opening monologue here - https://archive.ph/XJHhh - He said - I think the first article about a certain marriage is this one by Robins - https://archive.ph/ZztCE - published on 10th March, where he mentioned Viveash being...

We signing Deck-lan Rice?

Eric Black and Deck-er

https://archive.ph/jsLMG Interesting it mentions The Numbers Game written by Chris Anderson (remember him?), which I read a few years back. I stopped betting on accumulators afterwards :oops:

We did the 12:30 one on the day of the Middlesbrough game. Were you the guy telling everyone what our team was?... Joking :LOL: Was good, enjoyed it.

Interestingly I did the arena tour with my boy week before last (@Saddlebrains may well have been on the same one) and one thing the tour guy said was the arena staff followed all the social media, SBT, FB, Twitter, Reddit etc and said that sometimes posts were miles off the mark and others...

'They didn’t judge Robins solely on results, which certainly haven’t been good enough this season, especially with King’s investment.' This annoys me, it's not really King's investment is it?! It was Robins that turned £1m x2 into £15m and £20m. King's just decided how to spent it.

I always thought similar with Strachan, in that his players were motivated and galvanised because of the respect they had for him as a player (still the best player on the pitch at nearly 40). And as new, younger and often foreign players were signed, they saw him just as a shouty ginger man...

And you can sense that desperation in the players too as their decision making is getting worse and worse. Eccles shooting (and getting injured 🙄) when he should have passed to Rudoni and of course Simms at the end. They weren't the only poor decisions either. Folk can't pin it all on Robins.
