I find it very strange that you consider 6th-10th in League 2 to be "instant impact" Thankfully Mark Robins had higher ambition than you

Where have I done that?

The only sickening thing here is your deliberate misunderstanding of my point

Most clubs of our statue would've expected to be in the top 2 all season

He got us promoted 15 months after being appointed. That isn't instant. Lots of clubs wouldn't have been patient. As I said I am in no way being disrespectful to what he achieved

Its not revisionism to say we started slowly that season

Exactly, which is what he would want to do somewhere else. I'm not sure chairmen today are patient enough

He and Viveash don’t like each other

We scrapped into the league 2 playoffs in the last couple of games. I’m in no way undermining his achievements, but the first half of that season was pretty poor. Plenty of clubs in league 2 with promotion ambitions would’ve sacked him a few months in

As a group of fans we need to hold the actions of the club with constant suspicion. No blind faith “just support the lads” nonsense. We nearly lost our club once before due to reckless actions of the owners. So this appointment is incredibly important, and we shouldn’t just “trust the process”

Alan Carr at least has some knowledge. His Dad was manager of Northampton Town

For us yes. But the club needs to move fast

If there isn’t a sudden upturn in results then the atmosphere will turn incredibly toxic. The players have no more credit in the bank. The new manager will have yet to earn any. King will have used up his remaining credit if he gets this appointment wrong. We’ll be throwing an...
