Are you saying Robins implemented changes that took a lot of say away from him or is this a guess? I'm still under the impression that things changed when King took over, like not bringing in loans to cover what we all know was needed. My reasoning for this is how quickly Robins went from hero...

I wish I could keep up with all of this. So Robins had to go because he wasted untold millions on players and couldn't get a tune out of them. This has become Frank doesn't get to choose the players that come and go and the players are chosen by someone Frank can't get rid of. So has Frank...

There's nothing to suggest Given isn't a better GK coach. What we do have is 3 GK's where none of them are good enough to make the position their own. No improvement on any of them. So should we keep to the same yet expect things to improve? The exact reason we got rid of Robins.

Is there anyone you like at our club?

Nor getting excited but what's wrong with an ex top GK passing on tips and his experience? Could help bring out the best of Dovin. He is just another piece of the jigsaw. Bit yes personally our coaching setup has got much better. I will only get excited when we play attacking football but stop...

Our season isn't over if Lampard gets us to winning ways. Our main problem has been the soft goals we keep giving away. We're only 10 points out of the playoffs. Sounds a lot but a few wins would make it look totally different. Leeds and Burnley for the top 2 places and the rest of us battling...

It certainly does. But what he said about his ex manager at Hull other than he should have played more games is exactly what many have said about Robins on here. And Robins was a massive success here. Social media?

Couldn't agree more. Brought up on top flight football. Sounds good until you consider it was a relegation battle most seasons. A defeat by a single goal was a good result quite often. A draw felt like a win. A win was party time. I remember after getting relegated from the Prem. Looked...

So a club that can't afford to buy a decent striker is willing to pay 15m for a striker who is injured and couldn't pass a medical? Won't be saying goodbye to Wright just yet.

Welcome to Coventry Frank. You will have the best supporters in the Championship behind you all the way. Robins will soon be forgotten when the wins start coming in. He wasn't my choice. But I didn't have a choice. Whoever was mentioned came with doubt. Glad it wasn't me who had to make the...

I fully agree with you. He was a success every season with us. I remember lots of our support saying they would prefer a shot at winning the FA cup than getting promotion to the Prem. We came within a toenail of beating Manchester United in the semi final but the extra games finished our season...

There's a lot of unknown to put with where he takes over next. We don't know what clauses if any came with his last contract. If Lampard suddenly turns our club around it would put a dent in his record as a championship manager. Salary rises? He is now earning nothing. Does he need the money...

Think you've got the wrong end of the stick. Robins would still have a choice of where he works next. But the severance pay could include not working as a manager for let's say 6 months or there's a financial penalty from what he has/will receive. It isn't stopping him from working. The twi...

This is incorrect. King is a business man. Contracts like this are used. He wouldn't be restricted by force. He would have a choice. The contract could say that loss of earnings would be paid if his contract is terminated. It could be for a specific period. The person with the contract has the...

I had it in my contract I a previous job where I couldn't join a company that could be deemed to be a competitor for 6 months. There was also a few other clauses. I bow to the knowledge of a lot of people on here. Never seen so many experts on every subject that comes up in the same place before.

So do we have to praise everyone who is a part of the management team when we are doing well but only blame one person when it goes wrong?

Yes. Cracking engine. But Ford/DSA isn't Jaguar at all. Just like all the parts being Ford. As I said to me the last Jaguar that feels like a Jaguar. But it's still a Ford in disguise.

Just like many Jags I didn't like the S-Type when it first came out. But the shape grew on me over the years. Paid well over the normal price for one as less than 40k on the clock with a full Jaguar service history. I did consider a few models but I was looking for a usable reliable one and it...

If Frank brought in his own team and we kept the present ones we would nearly have enough for a coach for each position if we kept them all.

I love my Jags. But they are not the same anymore. I recently bought an old s type as it was the best available and nearest to what you expect from a Jag. Will last me a long time as has covered hardly any mileage. But even with this one it is only Jaguar by name. Most of the parts are stamped...
