To give another example …. Liverpool have chosen a Dutch coach despite Dutch coaches having an awful track record in English football over many decades. They decided to take that risk. So far it looks inspired.

I said it turned out brilliantly well. however after he left us first time he failed twice and was in the coaching wilderness for 18 months. It wasn’t a coup to get him, or as a consequence of a long and thorough process. It was a calculated gamble, and it paid off big time. It could have...

I understand the point but the EFL and Premier League is littered with clubs who have tried and failed with foreign coaches. Talented foreign coaches sometimes work, sometimes they don’t. They just come with a different set of risks. I guess it depends on where you want to place your risk...

Rob seems a really genuine and likeable guy who finds the balance between being a fan,but also a radio host, a difficult one. I find the histrionics about not having a new manager in place from some City fans to be ridiculous to be honest. Most well run clubs take a few weeks to get the new...

Man visits a business he owns.

How were those metrics at Chelsea first time round ?

I find it odd that fans assume King wouldn’t pay compensation for a manager. Whatever the criticism he gets it’s hard to say “not investing” is one of them.

Why does it ? It’s more important to get the decision right. Get the right support team agreed etc.

Managers under contract don’t come to be part of a short list … they only come for an interview if they are nailed on for the job. If they are unsuccessful in the interview they have also burnt their bridges at their existing club

I suspect the new manager will have an input on that. He wasn’t quite what Robins wanted, that may not be true going forward.

I agree with that in isolation but i think in that 3 his experience and leadership was needed and valuable

Because we started the season badly not because we didn’t have talent. We also had no idea how effective that back 3 would be.

If we had a squad now that included vik Hamer COH Sheaf Doyle McNally Fadz I think we would expect to be in the play offs

Like many fans when FL’s name was first mentioned i was under whelmed. So I watched various interviews with him, probably 3 hours in total, specifically on his coaching philosophy, lessons learnt from previous roles, etc and it made me much more excited about his potential. I then listened to...

Christ you must have secured a lot of jobs then :)

It won;t work like that …. Any manager worth his salt will want a kitty to invest in January.

I do hope you didn’t go to Wembley for the Play off Final because that season Big Vik and Hamer dragged a pretty average team to the final. That’s what big players can do for you. Did you criticise Robins then or like the rest of us did you just get totally wrapped up in the feel good factor...

We haven’t played for 2 weeks. It’s our longest unbeaten run this season.

It’s a little early for this degree of alcohol consumption.
