OK. I’m going to come over your side and stop sniping at the idea management structures matter for a second. Who decides if everyone else is working and who is to blame if something isn’t? What specifically made Robins responsible for our recent slide? And not the coaches or performance staff...

Is it? This is the same as the “oh the new coaches can’t be expected to show results yet”. Loads of other managers have instant impact. In fact I’d argue almost all the successful ones do. The whole point of deviating from the last seven years of consistency has to be an immediate change in...

I know I’m a stuck record here but can you guys hear yourselves? “Oh we need a giant modern setup so that sacking the manager won’t have any impact” Why did you sack the manager? “Oh I’m hoping it’ll impact the results”

Consistently shit.

We’ll see. The impression I got from the press release is we haven’t even started looking yet. I’m not convinced a period where half the squad is out the country is the perfect time for a new manager anyway TBH. We’re going to hire someone in time for the window to open and the massive holes...

Robins to come back Steve Jobs style heading a consortium of Dhinsa, Dale Evans, and William Storey.

He was handed the best coaching team outside the PL and a £35m war chest. I’d say he’s used up all his luck.

Anyone got the number for John Dawkins mystery billionaire guy? Maybe Doug will accept his £5 book token and a packet of haribo offer now?

To be clear: I know the theory, but it’s the people you hire that matter not their job titles. Otherwise you bake in poor performance not high standards.

I may have spotted the flaw in your plan.

Yeah I agree. The smart thing would be to go “the Tories didn’t budget for this and we can’t afford it so have to reverse it”. On the train drivers i won’t complain about workers getting proper wages. But with them and the dock workers in the states I’d be very tempted to say arguing about...

Can we come out to Nancy Boy by Placebo? If so I’m in.

Yes. I’m the child in The Emperor’s New Clothes specifically.

Should be easy to write it here then.

You can’t explain why though can you?

The club have said Carr will be manager for Sunderland.

No what spending would you have cut? Easy to say never raise taxes, flip side is lower spending. Curious where you see fat to be trimmed.

What new manager?

He’s a manager. Which is weird cos he’s got all the same guff around him and I was reliably informed only head coaches could work in that structure.

No. Just the head coach. Won’t sack the GK coach who has ruined five keepers or the performance director who ruined the level of performance.
