Well this is a bit of a joke considering kelly was captain last year….

Well that is a well reasoned and measured take….

Pointless thread, whats done is done. Might aswell get behind him and the team now. I truly hope we're all able to look back on the threads on Frank, and on all the players at the end of the season and laugh about how much crap they were given at this point in time. Every single managerial...

The sky sports reporter outside the training ground just called him “Dave King” Hahahahahahahahahahahha Doug’s ego will loooove that

This is the stupidest thing ive ever read on this forum and fuck me thats really saying something

Non compete. Not uncommon

The rumour with amorim was that they had spoken to him before deciding to stick with ETH but couldnt convince him to leave sporting at that point and werent fully committed to sacking ETH. So when they did sack him, they went back to Amorim and said its now or never. Which is why it was...

I think the majority of players thought that eccles had scored, the ball takes the tiniest knock off bassette so if their vision was blocked i could definitely see that they didnt think he’d got a touch.

Understand your point here, but i think his stature at the club and length of tenure would have played in his favour. He was THE gaffer, he outdated all the players. So his reputation comes from that, not his playing career or media appearances. Whereas you wouldnt be able to say that for a...

Exactly this, i always get so frustrated with the 'they're professional athletes they should be able to play two games in a week' YES, but you dont expect a professional 10,000m runner to run a PB on Sunday and then beat that again on Tuesday. Could they complete the 10k on tuesday? Yes...

If Lampard is appointed, im going to go with a glass half full approach and say that he’s going to do well here. Every single situation is different and complex, everything that has come out in the last two weeks has shown that and past performances dont necessarily indicate future results. Im...

beat me to it

Big boomer energy in this post.

Yeah possible. I think thats because the Chris Ramsey (remembered his name now) has never been confirmed or reported right? Its just “social media rumour” as CWR put it last night. I think what Doug is saying is true….to a point. He gave Robins everything he asked for…until he didnt. I really...

Her role was literally explained last night. She is there to put things in place, to get the players to training and to games, in the best condition. Covering off their diets, sleeping habits, rehabilitation protocols from injuries, their strength and conditioning programmes in the gym...

Yup, honestly i could see this being Robins stubbornness. I think he was happy with the flat coaching structure, felt he didnt need a number 2 and so went through the motions of 'looking for one' but ultimately had no intention of taking one to Doug. Up until the point things looked v bad and...

I was responding to this "The Performance Director has been defended to the end of earth, but other than the childish comment about coming to Ryton in order to deflect, she still holds some responsibility" Responsibility for what? She is not involved with anything in game or to prep for game...

Could be that over the course of this season, we're taking the opportunity to not risk players with niggles, whereas before we would have had to play them into the ground, have them play through injury and then damage their recovery further leading to them out for longer. Good example of this...

Did you not listen to what it is a head of performance does? It isnt about the performance on the pitch, its everything that goes into getting you there in the best physical and mental condition. She has no involvement in training sessions or in game tactics. The kind of people that really...

Jesus wept, he appeared on the panel last night as it was inevitable that there were going to be questions about transfer policy or recruitment, both of which would be handled by your......head of recruitment. When Doug King was asked point blank about who his advisors were, he didnt mention...
