Would have assume this would have been prebooked for the international break. Weird tho as surely she will make a decision or be advising Doug.

Which most including me disagree with. But we don’t know how who else will be impacted, since Dean is there tomorrow hopefully we’ll get further information. Think it’s telling mind that Robins is the last manager with the next being head coaches to fit into the system.

Yeah don’t think Mark publicly thanking Doug for not sacking him after Luton was for no reason. He would have heard something or got a feeling about it. Problem was Doug might of given Luton as the chance to turn it and when we did, was probably waiting for the chance as in his mind he thought...

Shame as think it’s the deal breaker for me for the behind the scene changes and if we had to make the changes we did.

How has Russell Slade got on in his career?

It’s happened too quickly and completely agree on that. The problem tho is we don’t know how willing that timeline was as we still don’t know why Adi Vinesh was sacked. If it was Gross misconduct, the system was sadly going to be broke up so why carry on with it when we could start on the plan...

100% will be good for the midfielders. In a ideal world, would love to see John Terry come from the Chelsea U21s for the same reason but for the defenders

Two parts I guess: If Robins put it in which I don’t think he did, we aren’t completely keeping it as we’re changing the main role to a head coach meaning less impact on recruitment allowing the club to have a higher control on the overall vision. If he didn’t, It’s a fairly modern system...

The structure or the personal?

Makes more sense to me that it was now Robins has been sacked. Why would you recruit Chris only to sack the manager who wants him. Think Doug’s been thinking about this for a while and needed a trigger after out form turned

Think this was still the case. Think it was Saddle who said Mark was really high up on Liam Kitching which is why we pursed him and overpaid for him in January

Yeah no, the transfer dealing is dean for initial contact and Doug for fees. Think the posh podcast is good for this. Robins would say fees don’t matter anyway for players since that doesn’t always reflect ability if I’m not wrong

Funny as I remember the Chris Ramsey rumor that he was going to replace one as they were moving back. Maybe that’s the plan now for Morris

To be fair two of the four were previously in the U21s maybe Doug and the club are hoping to move them back to there old roles. And this is more why I think it’s Robins men than anything else as if we are getting rid it shows it was more of a stay of execution as opposed to faith in them...

Don’t think we have to worry for the three years though after his last two moves, think he’ll want to stay and get some time in a role. But that’s a risk with any manager and think if Manchester United came in for Mark it would of been the same

God bless the Chelsea youth network 🤣

100% on the statement. Robins and his team earned every bit of the fees. Think it’s more just acknowledging that Robins has a hand in the transfers where as the new head coach won’t outside of setting targets I’d imagine. Ultimately I think the club outside of a few fees have done good...

For Chelsea though where he was a club legend. It was the wrong move but kind of impossible to turn down. It would be like of any us being offered the Coventry Job after a good year at Nuneaton boro

I think to be honest he had more say than we think. It’s one of them where if it had worked Robins would get all the credit but since it failed the blame goes to someone else. On paper hope Rhys stays as feel he’s a decent coach but wouldn’t keep the rest

As a proof of concept could he have the playoff final with Derby or top four with Chelsea when they couldn’t sign players and had to use the youth teams?
