    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    Would still be similar for a self employed or contingent/ contract work

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    that’s true, but the new employer wouldn’t be paying the compensation, they would have to wait until the end of the settlement period date.

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    Usually under employment law if you terminate someone and then pay them compensation, they can still move on to another employer, and the employee doesn’t have to pay back any of the compensation.

    Transfer Rumour Robins to Hull

    Very odd we’d get compensation. Unless he has been “sacked” bur as he still has nearly 3 years left on his contract, he is still under contract by the club. Very strange one though

    What worries me about Doug King

    I think we have some great players, but poor balance in midfield and a bit light in defence (especially experience) I don’t think that was solely down to Robins, and if King thinks the recruitment has been amazing he is sorely mistaken. It was the same with England in the summer, they were very...

    Mark Robins Comments

    Great way to answer the questions, not getting into it and putting the club and players interests first.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    Settlement agreement says it all, Robins won’t be able to put his side across, so Doug can say what he wants, and blame him. Piss poor decision from Doug to let him go, if they couldn’t find a number two that blame isn’t solely with robins. He also can’t see that we needed the loans in midfield...

    This season was decided in the summer

    That’s true, but also not recruiting a midfielder and the restructuring made this season an uphill struggle

    Devils advocate

    I agree, and if hadn’t have come off the back of two wins I would’ve got it, but if he had come to Sunderland today and got a draw a win, we would’ve looked at that as a good set of results over the 4 games. I just think he had more cause to get rid of Robins before those two wins, and he chose...

    Devils advocate

    Also to add, why sack him after the 2 wins, yes we lost to Derby but we had improved and just one two on the bounce with a good comeback in one of them. In the statement it talked about performance over a period of time, why not do it after the 5 or so games without a win, the fans may not have...

    Devils advocate

    100% agree, King should’ve never interfered with the playing side of the club. Along with all of the other stuff a football manager does, Robins connected with the fans and this has helped rebuild it from the lows of league 2 to where it is today with record season ticket sales. King has...

    This season was decided in the summer

    It’s very similar to the Mowbray season we dropped to league 2, recruitment was messed up. Though this time I don’t feel like it was the managers fault at all.

    This season was decided in the summer

    With the lack of signings in central midfield, the sacking of Adi, and the appointment of seemingly average coaches, I feel this season was decided by these poor decisions in the summer.

    Doug King - Spineless

    When King came in, I feared he would want to put his own man in charge. I don’t think he should have messed with the footballing side, we’d had several years of sustained improvement, he should’ve let Robins continue doing what he was doing, and sorted all the non football aspects of the...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    For me, the only people who could take some of the bruising away from the way they’ve sacked Robins, is bringing in a playing legend to manage. Maybe someone like Doyle, or Kelly. not saying those particular, but someone who would connect with the fans as well. One thing Robins did and...

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    It is odd timing, being that we’d won two on the bounce, and seemed to have improved until last night. I think it was decided when Adi left personally, and that King was just waiting on an excuse, had a time in mind of when he would get rid of Mark
