Yes Robins did. It would make sense to replace like for like but they did outline the difference between a head coach and manager in terms of player development and improvement rather than recruitment which wd be a SD’s role.

1. I was shocked but not surprised by the Robins sacking. Tbh the timing of it seemed weird and after wins vs Luton and Middlesbrough it seemed that the owner’s itchy finger was going to be exercised after the next defeat wherever it was. 2. I thought that King’s defence of his position at the...

He wasn’t sacked. He left Everton to return to Real Madrid.

Ancelloti had Everton finish 12th and 10th. That’s far from failure.

Yep I can see this point too. If they did well enough to be offered a “better” job - we would be in a pretty good place. Doug King might be off at the same point I suppose and never forget that Jimmy Hill took us to the promised land and promptly left for a job in tv. I suspect Turner meant...

I honestly thought it wasn’t - like the Triple S version of 1986-7 (until FMC did a replica) but happy to wirhdraw if you’re certain.

CT article on same thing (for those who can’t use FB links) https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-doug-king-new-manager-30374084 Turner explains why in his view Lampard and RvN are non-starters (would only see us as a stepping stone at club level) whereas...

It really wasn’t quite successful. They failed to reach the group stage of the Champions’ League, failed to win the Dutch league and he fell out with club coaches and players. He resigned before the last game (and before they had secured their champs league spot for the next season) citing a...

This is a really good point. Actually Sexton would be exactly the sort of head coach that King says he wants. Developed an unparalleled youth team that went on to amass a transfer market value of millions in the early 1980s.

Wasn’t empty. Wasn’t the Ricoh. Wasn’t about him. Apart from that…

That yellow shirt was never for sale in the 1980s. Interesting that they chose the Elliot’s rather than Glazepta sponsor.

I’d be amazed if he had applied given that he’s currently in a job with Lincoln who might not be best pleased if they find out he’s hawking around his cv while they are paying him. This could be especially pertinent as we have found out with Lampard “being one the cvs” normal GDPR / data breach...

That’s what I thought about Ipswich last season

Fell out with players and coaching staff. Left citing a “lack of support” after the coaches/owners announced they would be reviewing arrangements at the end of the season...

No he didn’t. He resigned after one season after failing to win the league.

Yeah remember how Jaap Stam led Reading to European glory? Still can’t move around the streets of Kampen without tripping over locals in Royals shirts.

He was hung out to dry by the media after the Greece game. The very same journalists that were calling for places to be found for Bellingham, Foden and Gordon and were lauding his false 9 plan before kickoff were all pressing send on their “tactical naïveté” articles on the final whistle. And...

Wow. Wow. Wow. He’s throwing Robins under the bus here. Presume he wants to bring Viveash back in ?

Bunce?

Didn’t Robins had 4 seasons at Rotherham and Barnsley before he came to us the first time?
