Not sure. I'd I imagine he came up with a lot of names but they were the most eye catching. Wonder if he was the one who spotted Boateng and Roussel?

He never trialled. We had a scout at the time, who's name escapes me, whose job it was to put forward players who had potential and that we could develop. RVN and Henry were 2 he identified. It might be in the book Staying up.

His Preston side in the Championship played some good football. He became, let's say, far more pragmatic in the EPL.

Your me bess fuckin' mate, but I'm gonna have to let you go, its breaking my fucking heart pal.

He's light years ahead of them as an owner. But that still doesn't mean I believe everything he says or agree with everything he does.

No thanks mate, I've just put one out.

I think you're right, though I'd still have him over anyone else mentioned just due to his wealth of experience. And let's not forget, to win that European trophy he had to finish in a decent league position to qualify in the first place. I'm still thinking it will be someone not even mentioned.

Fairly sure he'll go premier league

He didn't realise the interview was serialised?

Are they allowed to do that?

What a pathetic sport.

It's probably not logical but we've had 7 years of managerial stability, the thought of a revolving door after all this time needs a bit of taking in. Better to be looking for a new man every season because he's been poached after being succesful than because he's been sacked after a relegation...

Probably because there's no chance he'd come here though I'd have him over anyone else mentioned.

Thus proving my point, I disagree with a lot of that, and there are probably thousands of permutations of opinions on those players.

Does he think people are going to change there minds on what they think the state of out midfield is because he speaks to the CET? Does he think there's consensus among the support anyway when every midfielder has got those who think they're great, those who think they're shit and some for...

You're the one who mentioned conspiracy not me. It's highly unusual for an owner to come out with stuff like this, people are right to be bemused. But you'd defend him whatever he does.

Of course he is. He needs to get back in his lane. Sooner the new man's in the better. King can concentrate on looking after other aspects of the club.

Why does he feel the need to comment on that?

I think the whole thing is a lot more nuanced than people thing, (including me initially). And I don't think the official narrative is 100% correct. Though as I've said, I think the breakdown of the Robins/Viveash relationship was the catalyst for all this, though as more emerges I may change...

You think their relationship hadn't deteriorated? OK. I think it did. And in that situation, only one person's leaving. And there are parts of the official narrative that I just don't buy into which I've stated on here many times so can't be arsed going into again. Though I do think whatever...
