As always not sure if playing the fool, but Sisu didn’t touch the football side. Robins didn’t rock the boat about non-football and they didn’t about football. There were terrible owners in every other respect. Hence me making this meme:

This is exactly how the management merry go round works though. New guy comes in, can’t be judged this year, starts poorly next having spent for two windows, new guy comes in, can’t be judged this year…

Of course he was! Surviving shit owners was his superpower.

Was the belief in Coventry City as an entity or the particular incarnation of CCFC from the last six years though? Taking a long view, this feels an awful lot like the early 2000s. Owner hungry for success, doesn’t quite understand the game. Most fans also hungry for success but generally happy...

You’re allowed an opinion. We haven’t appointed anyone yet.

This keeps confusing me. I thought the entire point was you don’t change the staff every time you change head coach.

Would lose so much respect for King if he allowed that. You rip up everything that’s working because of your vision then as soon as someone else challenges it you cave in?

If Lampard is announced at the forum I’d love someone to ask him “You’re taking over after the most popular and successful manager in a generation, under an owner who has shown himself to be impulsive and meddling, with fans who don’t want you and expect success as a bare minimum. Why?”

He did as expected at Derby with a huge amount of loans, which he won’t be allowed here. And if he is then Doug is an even bigger wanker for artificially tying Robins hands to get him gone.

If there’s no improvement I would. It’s a numbers game finding the right fit now. No sense in holding on for another 18 months and spending millions in the hope of a turnaround.

Changed the title. Was needlessly specific.

I think play offs is a reasonable target at this point in the season. I’d accept top half with a significantly improved style of play and level of performance. But then next season I’d be looking at top four by Christmas. If there’s no turn around, I’d sack him before Jan TBH. At this point...

This season. I think our current form puts us midtable, recent results look fine.

Ask her to shave and be nicer to your girlfriend.

CEOs are in my experience more in danger of reading one or two customer reviews and going mental than staff closer to the coal face.

Do you think the pos are out of reach? Only 8 (I forgot about the games yesterday) off. They’re very reachable on decent form.

We already know your expectations. 4-0 every game with sexy football. Ideally fronted by someone you’ve seen on Sky.

I was mostly interested in what those who wanted a new guy think he can do. I’d have expected a belief this squad should be playoffs and so any manager should get there as a bare minimum. I think a general barometer of the fanbase is good too but suspect those that didn’t want robins gone will...

We’re not much worse than the season we got into the POs. Play off teams tend to have spurts of auto form and spurts of relegation form rather than consistent playoff form IMO

Interesting you’d accept a step back this season
