The whole 'defamation' thing is (respectfully) being raised by people that don't really know what they are talking about. "He can't be lying or he would be sued for libel!" People lie all the time, that's why we have laws about it. Very rarely ends up in court. Given that he admitted that they...

A question I would have liked to have heard (I did miss 5 minutes) was whether Doug ever discussed Robins moving into a director of football role to allow one of these excellent candidates that applied to be a no.2 but wanted to be a number 1 to be head coach. Was that asked?

He was quite keen to push the narrative that the absence of Adi had left Robins' lack of tactical nous exposed. There are certainly some games where I think you could make some kind of argument for that but a lot of the points we have dropped have been down to concedingtoo many goals through...

It's not word for word, no... it wasn't supposed to be. 🙄 And tbh it went the same regardless of whether or not I turned off.

Text book whataboutery! Interviewer: Why did you sack Robins? DK: Why did Robins sack Vivesh? I: I don't know - why did Robins sack Vivesh? DK: I shall proceed to not tell you in a lot of words. I quite admire it.

There were a lot of evasive statements throughout. I can't remember the precise one used relating to the no.2 but perhaps 'no deal was ever presented to me' or 'nothing ever made it to my desk.' A barrister leaps on those because they are the kind of statements defendants make when they don't...

Lampard in the frame 'if he is interested?' Cold feet? Just as I was getting used to the idea...

On it!

Does it matter what kind of soup?

Yeah, I am feeling a bit less confident now I know you are all in for it too. Might have to knobble Otis. ;)

Yes, although I suspect in this case all parties want to do the deal.

Likely an agent leak but potentially to increase interested parties to drive the price up.

The only plausible scenario I could think of was if Robins told him he was back on the bench and he was 'nah, f#k this - sore foot' but since this sequence of events played out only in my imagination - file under BS. 😉

Having had the same manager for 7 years we are talking about sacking Lampard before he has been appointed. 😂

We are 9th favourite for promotion with the bookies at 20/1. You can get 750/1 on Plymouth. You should lump on!!

I guess the issue here for me is that I did, right up until the point we sacked Robins. A few wins strung together in this league generally puts you somewhere in or around the playoffs. I assumed that would happen at some point in the season and then it is about whether we could kick on and with...

Can anyone think of a manager that made up a 8 point gap with 12 games to go? Anyone at all? I'll give you a clue - there was one a couple of years ago.

This is f#king hilarious. Are people seriously trying to brainwash us into thinking this season's play off hopes were over. Preston North End once made up a nine point gap in the last 3 games of the season to pip Cardiff City and yet somehow 8 points in November - might as well give up. 😂

That's a baffling non sequitur. I think this is a good point. Preseason I thought this was our year but it was not a good end to the transfer window. Robin's teams were streaky and when they got on a roll they just seem to find results. But the reality is the squad is horribly unbalanced and...

Just for clarity - I didn't sack him!! ;) I can't really envisage a manager doing better than the last 7 years and it is really dangerous heaping that level of expectation on the new guy (/gal?). Reality is I wouldn't have advocated sacking Robins for a 7th place finish if we gave it a good go...
