We got by without a lot of things during their era, including a home.

Just checked, he's spoken about the role again since then but referred to the position as Sporting director rather than Director of football. Said he's going to take his time making the appointment.

Didn't King say we were looking to bring one in?

When Austin spoke at the forum he mentioned reasons as to why loans were problematic but didn't say any had fell through, though that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

I agree, try and finish as high as possible even if we can't make the play offs, (which personally I can't see happening).

Where did you get this info from?

From what Saddles said it seems Lampard has persuaded him they're needed.

King has quite a devoted little fan club on here. And yes, there are some haters. But if you're a fan of a football club, and you're looking at it objectively, you don't want the owner making the statements King made regarding the playing side of things, he's not qualified to for a fucking...

Loans incoming apparently so certainly a possibility.

These posts prove nothing of the sort. I remember when I put a challenge out to one of Kings biggest devotees on here after the Robins sacking, I'd give him a tenner for every post in which he criticised King, and he gives me a pound for every post in which I criticise Robins. Challenge...

I think he was brilliant for us overall and has been missed though not as much as Hamer has. But he's gone, we move on but we definitely need someone who, as Shmmeee says, can take the ball on the turn and drive at the opposition. It's quite glaringly obvious so I'd imagine there's someone...

To criticise someone isn't to be anti them. King should not of made all those proclamations, they were always going to come back and bite him. I've consistently said it about King, commercially he's really took the club forward and improved the match day experience, but when he starts going on...

Because its the same sort of no nuanced, black and white thinking that we saw from the Robins out brigade. But I really am struggling to see why you think people aren't going to hold a an owner to account. I don't think a lot of people are doing it to have a go at Lampard, ( just my opinion...

I'm not sure why you wouldn't expect people to hold the owner accountable for things he said? Elite level coach, top 6 deck, fitteset squad ever, arbitrary points totals by Christmas, he made all these comments. I don't think expecting improvement is unreasonable, I do think it's unreasonable...

Well people say what's said in an interview must be gospel, when it suits them. I've consistently said people sometimes play to the gallery in interviews But back to the elite coach comments, of course people are going to quote King. King has made this rod for Lampards back, well its not...

But he was brilliant for us. And that's what matters. Unless we've got sell on clauses what a player does after he leaves isn't really relevant. I like Rudoni but anyone who thinks hes at the same level as O'Hare is deluding themselves.

Well we've kept 2 clean sheets, which Im happy with because I said the first thing that needs sorting out is the defence. But it's not about liking King or not, he's the one who came out with all the bullshit people keep quoting.

Did think about Eccles there but I think Lampard might want to leave him alongside Sheaf.

The immediate improvement agenda was set by hero to many on here, Doug King. Its his fault people are demanding it. Fortunately, when comes to football, I think the mans a fucking idiot and have much more realistic expectations

I agree with all of that though RB is a conundrum Lati has been awful when he's played there in the past but I think MVE really needs a break.
