Earlier this week id have agreed with your first two paragraphs here, but there is something about creating your own luck. And we have rarely looked like a confident, play off contending side. Performances alongside the luck we havent had, have been so bad. I remember watching the stoke and...

Agree with this. Said somewhere else that the format for tonight was completely wrong. Truly think he was completely taken aback by the reaction, in fact i think he said he was, and ultimately was trying to set the record straight, be transparent and open and honest, but probably went a little...

Be honest though. Why did you post that about Sakamoto

Yeah i can see it from both sides. i also wish somebody would challenge Doug on why if his singular vision is promotion, why he asked for a cup run, because it is as clear as day that that derailed our promotion challenge last year.

I actually dont think we have a bad squad at all. I think we have a lot of confidence players and I think the systems we’ve played throughout the start of this season has made them look awful. There has been so shite performances from them too, but i dont think we’ve got a squad of duds. id...

I didnt mind the bit about jolting the club you know. I myself this week have been massively of the “oh Mark would have fixed it and we’d have been fine maybe not the play offs but ok” attitude. I took what Doug meant by the Jolt was “No, we are absolutely going for promotion, we’re not...

Yep totally agree, said somewhere on here earlier that ultimately this decision can only be judged in the future when either the new manager has us in the prem or is sacked. What i will say is, King said he effectively didnt want to gamble on it not turning around and didnt want to risk this...

I really dont think he will. I didnt take from the thing today that there is an NDA as at one point doug said “mark will say whatever he says when he’s ready” but honestly i wouldnt expect him to. He didnt ever like talking to the media, i dont think he’ll be arsed getting his story out there...

Stuff absolutely comes out of the club. Every club in the country. Would be interesting to look back and see your % conversion rate though…. Like saddlebrains its probably the poetic licence you apply to the things you hear that put people off

Also to add, i think Doug King is going to drag this club kicking and screaming to modern footballing professionalism in the structures and processes in place. He talked today about Directors of football, heads of marketing and commercial. I think there is alot required to bring the club back...

I think tonight really showed that there is an awful lot that goes on behind the scenes of a football club that usually never sees the light of day. My takeaways from tonight: Doug King backed “the team” of Mark and Ady, and was basically acting as marriage councillor when they fell out for...

The two don't have to be mutually exclusive

i think alot of people are getting wrapped up in the assistant manager recruitment stuff, but i think it wasnt properly clarified and now that opportunity is lost. Got to say i think the format for tonight was butchered, should have been a long form, live interview, 1 on 1, (not with clive!)...

Got to be honest. I think doug did really well tonight and im encouraged by his insistence that we have the singular focus of getting promoted out of this league. I can see the evidence trail to back up everything he said, i think he is shocked and hurt by the response directed at him from...

THIS

The amount of time you spend on here id imagine you are already

Im not being ruthless, im being realistic. We have only been back in the championship for 4 seasons, this being the 5th. We came back from league 2, not down from the Prem so we didnt get a literaly sh*t ton of parachute payment money to spend. We have to build and progress, find some gems...

9th! WE FINISHED 9th! Where the fuck has the audacity come from to claim that isnt a turn around?! Is all of your anti robins rhetoric because your expectations of this club have been blown way way out of proportion? We are play off challengers, absolutely nothing more. 9th is a respectable...

It would make more sense, wouldn't have felt as disrespectful and if announced before the last home game of the season with the right statement, would have allowed the fans to say goodbye, which i think is a considerable part of the disgruntlement. I personally, would have still kept Robins...

Im really keen to hear that doug is held to account and explain his actions. Whats done is done and Robins isnt coming back. I want to hear whats next, but i also want to hear the logic behind the timing of the decision and how this ties into the expectations upon the new person. If Doug says...
