    Not liking this, I thought King had somebody lined up. Seems, according to the rumours today that's not the case. It means all these 70 odd applicants are out of work, and I bet almost all of them we wouldn't want.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    F*ck sake. He didn't even have someone lined up? I hope this is not the case.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Whilst I like the ideal of getting in a young coach like Bloomfield who has had an excellent start to his managerial career. To dismiss Robins, and bring in a guy who's had 2 years experience in the lower leagues doesn't sit right. Same with the Reading bloke. I've warmed to Lampard. Smart...

    Simms got himself back in the side against Luton, played a blinder and scored. Why would he for some reason not want to play. He would of started v Boro.

    Amongst the worst decisions in the history of Coventry City FC

    The inability to break down physical defensive teams at the CBS has been a long-standing issue under Robins. It was the same in League 1 and League 2. We could destroy teams that were open and attacked us, but a clever, sly defensive gameplan often toppled us. Same this season (Sheff Weds and...

    He was great yesterday. Rarely gives the ball away, first touch is sublime. Bought as a LWB but suffered last season being played at LB, with Haji not offering much protection.

    Sunderland Player Ratings

    Thought Lati did a good job today. Away from home against the better teams he’s a decent option.. Siimms getting no time is a strange one. Asante was poor as you say.

    Kitching and Dasilva excellent. Liked Lati playing the holding DM role. The guy is a warrior. Asante disappointing. Simms should have been on at half time. We were a lot more direct today, long balls into the front two, but that might have been forced with Eccles & Sheaf out.. Collins. Always...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Thing is. If he does well and gets us up, he’ll move on at the first sniff of a more lucrative contract. However… He’s a smart lad, And will have a hunger to prove people wrong after his stints at Chelsea and Everton. He would have looked at our squad, and obviously sees a squad he can work...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    To be fair to Lampard. He did pretty well at Derby, and got them to the play off final. Followed his heart by jumping ship to Chelsea, but they were already in a mess. Everton wasn't great, but that's a fire fighting job. Clever bloke, and will want to prove a point, but don't want him.

    I am sure Carr has his own ideas of our best formation and personnel, which probably differs a lot to Robins. I'd like to see him mix it up a bit. He's got one game, as I am sure the new man will be in place by Sheff U.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley has some weight I think. No announcement yet, as he has a final England U21 fixture to play next weekend. Tuchal taking over in Jan, and may want his own man managing the U21s. Local to the area (or at least used to be), ex-player, highly rated coach, and probably wants a crack at...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Watched a few interviews with Bloomfield on YT last night, as had never heard of him. Quite impressed me, there's a level of intensity there. Carsley would be my pick though.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    It sounds like a pre-rehearsed answer. as he has one more U21 fixture to fulfil before taking over at Cov

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    re: The Fans Forum with Doug next week. Why did Viveash leave, and was Robins consulted / involved in that decision? Was Robins involved with new coaches recruitment process? I think the "Real" answers to those questions above will tell us a lot. Bottom Line - We've been poor this season...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    If you take out the emotional side of things, and past achievements. The performances and results post January last season have been poor (discounting the Leeds, Wolves & Man U games from last season, 2 of which were in the cup). This season has continued the trend of last. We've played...

    Your Top 3 MR Moments

    1) Notts Country (a) - League 2 Play Off Semi Final Such a brave attacking performance. We got a little lucky with the disallowed goal for Country in the 2nd half, but we looked miles above Notts, and McNulty's goal was a thing of beauty. 2) Stoke (h) - FA Cup 3rd Round League 2 team beating a...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    I am shocked, with a shot of disappointment. Last night was really bad however, failing to create much in 90 mins against a limited side. His interview on CWR was worrying, calling out players, and basically not understanding the fall in performance levels from the last 2 games. I guess his job...

    Robins on cwr

    He changed it on the hour. We were horrendous before that, against one of the worst teams I’ve seen at the CBS for a long time. He absolutely had to change it on 30 mins. 1-0 down at home and creating absolutely nothing. We had plenty options on the bench to mix things up (Dasilva, Torp...

    Viktor Moving on

    When did Viveash say this?! Doesn't surprise me. The alleged training ground bust up with Godden before the Norwich away game in October 2022, the berating of younger players for not passing to him. However some players are like this, and it probably helps them being the player they are...
