There’s a chap called Mark Robins that might do well as Director of Football. Left his last role under a bit of a cloud, but if we could get a quality head coach to go with him it might work. 😀

Assuming these reports are genuine, I am so excited by the prospect of one of our top 3 bookies favourites. All 3 would be great, I think RVN would be my first choice, if we got him on a 3-4 year contract I don’t think we’d need to worry about the stepping stone issue after a year. It would...

I imagine the way it works is: Turner speaks to Press officer and requests an interview with Adi. Press officer says he will look into it. Press officer speaks to Adi and MR about a) whether Adi is prepared to do it and b) whether MR authorises it and to what extent. I doubt anyone trots up to...

Mark Robins with Adi did well. Mark on his own not so…..

I’m warming to Carsley. I think if he came, and it’s probably a big if, we’d hold on to him longer than a Lampard or RVN. Carsley would be quality coach. I was also a little shocked when I head Potter was on £200k per week. Ie, £10 million a year. These big name prem guys must be way out of...

Don’t be dissing the deck now 😀

I think it has to be Robins celebrating in a ball boys face, whilst said ball boy is in an Adi headlock. Gives a good don’t f**k with us vibe.

I agree with this, The championship is relentless with the amount of games and small prep time between games. England Team is way more relaxed from a time to prepare point of view.

Your anger is worse? This was a public forum, it was not some private meeting where Chatham House rules apply, every word he said is open to contradiction by Robins or Adi and will be reported on in full detail. Do you think Doug, knowing the above, would make unsubstantiated shit up? That...

I’m A helpless spectator or someone not interfering? Different perspectives on the same account. I thought he meant that Robins would need to select the coach and only when agreed would it come to his desk for signing off and negotiating package etc..

I certainly wouldn’t put it past Doug telling everyone tonight he’s evaluating tons of quality applications even if the deal was done 3 weeks ago…. Just to get an easier ride.

I think it is quite a stretch to say Robins has made playoffs before therefore the new guy must do better than that in his first part season. As the saying goes “Past performance is not indicative of future results” and this is never truer than in football. Who knows whether Robins would have...

Juric wouldn’t have even unpacked his bags. Frank may get little more than a city break…

I really can’t see uncle Harry advising him Roma is a good option at this moment in his career. 4 Managers in a year? The odds of failing there are incredibly high.

Maybe she already has spoken with him. This will have been ongoing for a while.

I’m not wanting to sound overly semantic but coaching structure and coaching personnel are not the same thing. I imagine there is plenty of wriggle room in that statement.

I thought they looked pretty tidy

Which might suggest the replacement is lined up and ready to go…..

I think we are conflating too many things here. When I voted on the question should Robins have been sacked I voted NO. I would not have because he was great when we had little resource and he took us from the abyss to where we are now and as such we owe him a great debt. I know this View for...

I’m not sure that is a fair statement. After Derby his stock was high, but In hindsight, he moved too soon to a club like Chelsea and the Everton stint didn’t do his career a lot of good either. Truth be told he is probably a very good coach, but the big clubs will not go for him until he...
