    CCFC announcement today

    Although it is exactly the thing King would do, not sure his fragile ego would cope with the dogs abuse he would get if his appointment lost his first two matches after sacking the most popular Coventry manager in the modern era.

    The incoming manager has huge boots to fill that's for sure.

    You would think he would want to be involved in the negotiations once the preferred candidate is selected?

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    It's completely different to facing the media and giving an interview immediately after a 90 minute rollercoaster. You could make Rooney and Barton look thoughtful and intelligent in those type of podcast interviews.

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job

    *Checks league table* Yea it's a good job we're not near the bottom and one point above the drop zone. He got 11 points in 8 games last season for Birmingham, not world beating but enough to suggest he could have kept them up had he came in earlier. Rooney and Mark Venus did the damage for...

    Director of Football

    Are we actually getting a director of football? The way it came across someone asked the question and King replied that's a great idea, I doubt it had even seriously crossed his mind before that point. I'm not expecting one any time soon, maybe 6-12 months down the line possibly.

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job

    Rowett has a proven track record of getting teams near or in the play offs with multiple clubs without ever quite getting them over the line. Done it at Birmingham, Derby and Millwall. Would be an underwhelming appointment but his cv isn't bad.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    The fact that between them Robins and King couldn't appoint a new assistant is an abject failure from both frankly. It was Kings first major test on the football side and he failed miserably

    Was mainly considering the additions since that match. We've added how many players since the play off final? And only two of them would improve the team from that day, pretty poor and really poor if King considers this the best deck of players ever.

    Sounds almost like Robins was telling him what we all were that we needed a midfielder but he thinks he knows better from his response. New conspiracy

    The whole best deck of players is debatable also, from the current side or additions since then only Haji and MVE get into the play off final team. Mcnally, Doyle, Mcdaz Hamer and Gyokeres all get into the current team based on there performances/level from that season

    Andy Turner on Robins and Vivash interview

    Interesting to me is that he says Adi's interview was sanctioned by the club and that King may be confused when he said it wasn't. So basically one of the first things out of Kings mouth at the fans forum was a lie, makes me wonder how much of it King exaggerated or told his version of the truth.

    Clueless if he thinks our midfield is anywhere near good enough

    Was his second place finish with PSV considered a failure? Genuine question, I have no idea except knowing they are one of the big clubs in that league.
