This was common knowledge at the time I believe.

There was something that John Dawkins said last night on his podcast that referenced this, about he knew of a high calibre individual who applied for the role of assistant, but it never got to a discussion with Doug King and he didn't know why. I wonder if maybe Mark Robins had an involvement...

Nothing really new to add from last night, I thought Simon might of gone in a little harder, but didn't.

Ideally wants new manager in during the International Break, but could take longer.

DK: Decision was taken now to take control and try to recover the season. - SJ: Do you take responsibility for the setup (management team). DK: Dennis left, wanted to return home to nearer his family. Adi left in the summer. Both manager and Adi were given new long term deals. Wanted to give the...

TalkSport summary. - Didn't speak to Simon and TalkSport first, gave priority to the fans of the Club. - Was intense last night, expected the backlash. - Doug sticking with the Mark and Adi relationship as a contributing reason for parting with the manager. - SJ: Was Robins surprised when you...

Now, I'll summarise shortly.

Doug King is going on TalkSport with White and Jordan shortly, apologies if it's been mentioned elsewhere.

According to Doug King and Dean Austin last night the manager approved the signings, so there needs to be a collective responsibility on questioning whether the players were good enough, not just "well Dean Austin spent poorly". In terms of managers having a say on transfers this isn't...

Fair play bud, but it’s Coventry City - it get us all at the best of times and everyone who posts here wants the best for it.

Now it’s all done and dusted I thought Doug came across well, you could tell from his voice that he was nervous or emotionally invested in this. I don’t mind that from an owner, given we had so long with SISU. I think Mark Robins will eventually put his side across, but can’t see why Doug...

Someone post up the Roy Keane GIF of smashing into someone 😂

“He’s seen the light” 💡

I wonder how many Cov fans will apologise for putting this on Doug, not many I bet.

Going to be a difficult one tonight, unless there is a good start I can see the crowd turning and it getting nasty.

I agree with both of you that’s it’s highly unlikely Doug answers but I think it’s worth asking as it builds a picture of what support Robins had and to put the pressure on DK (I.e did give Robins his full support, if not why not, etc).

@Sky Blue Pete, any chance you can ask Doug about this tonight and also ask he also pulled the plug on signing Matty James - both are similar rumours, it would be good to know if Mark Robins had support to sign new staff or players.

I don't think you'll find many fans who will agree with me, but I'm fine with that.

Lower expectations? As I've said above, I want the new HC to target the playoffs. In terms of Robins not being "that good anyway" I simply said there were other factors which should be considered I don't think that's wrong.

Teams can just do it, but there is usually factor behind it, the reason I referenced Hamer and Gus is because that season there was two key factors behind us going on a run, but that's not guaranteed to happen. The new manager, if it is Lampard will be tasked with the playoffs and that suits me...
