I'm not sold on the Stamenic vs Browne theory tbh. I think it's just fans putting 2 & 2 together knowing that we were close with Stamenic. They're different types of player & if you look, Stamenic is clearly earmarked as then enabling us to sell Sheaf (as King himself admitted) As it is, we...

As poor as they are, a draw would be an ok result away from home in these conditions. I just want to see some signs of improvement.

He's something else that fella 🤣

Hardly playing.

He's not the experienced players we're talking about. He's only 22 & was clearly earmarked as a potential Sheaf replacement.

Good move for him. Been one of the better players in the U21s this season.

According to John Percy @ The Telegraph: "a compensation package will have to be agreed with Coventry as Robins was placed on gardening leave after his surprise dismissal in November."

He's VERY pleased to be getting the job.

Interesting. I had heard Ramsey, which would have made sense given what happened here.

Question is why, what are the reasons we missed out on them? They were clearly identified by Robins & the Recruitment team as a necessity.

Interesting one. A real basket case of a club &, although he's obviously thrived under trying conditions here, he was at least largely left to get on with footballing matters. Best of luck to him, except when they play us obviously.

Lots of rumours about a drinking culture & lack of professionalism at both Plymouth & Birmingham, hopefully not true.

Very good & simplifies it for those that don't understand it. Probably a bit too simplistic if anything but tbh I'd rather it never became a mainstream media & fans thing in the first place.

I thought he seemed a bit of a deer in the headlights when asked it at the forum like it hadn't even been considered previously.

Exactly. It was never a hard & fast "no loans". King was reluctant as he sees it as dead money & for the other reasons outlined by Austin at the forum but for the right player at the right price, there was always room for at least 1. We should have done more to get 1 or 2 in during the summer...

I know... I even said it at the time. See below Have you read the actual messages above or just picked bits & drawn your own conclusions? https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/allen-injured.162954/post-3165330 James McConnell I was told.

I agree & also think we should have pushed harder in the summer, but as I say it would be a bit of a 180° for King. He was very cautious/reluctant with them even as a proposed playoff chasing team to then spend money on them for no return would be odd. Hopefully, as suggested he's listening to...

Same here.

Yeah but we were targeting playoffs then. It's highly unlikely we'll reach them now so the money would essentially be wasted.

Would be an odd change of tact from King given we aren't going down or making playoffs, it's just dead money. Caveats over loans with view to perm or if we're offloading elsewhere to offset the wages of course.
