Rob totally mismanaged the fans forum following the sacking of Robins. He operated like an ill
Informed fan not a BBC sports journalist.

At times we love Rob for his emotional bias but when you openly question whether the owner of the club is telling the truth when you have no evidence to the contrary then it’s unlikely to end well for you.

 

[HerneBayGaz]

What happened to Martin Winch?

Sadly left.
Need him back pronto.
Generally nice guy

What happened to Martin Winch?

 

[stevefloyd]

And we're feeling sad all over
Because
Clive is leaving

 

[chiefdave]

Just hope it’s his decision and he’s not been pushed out.

Wonder if it will still be him and Rob doing Warwickshire games this summer as that falls under the BBC despite being streamed by the club.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Absolute legend and a huge part of the whole city supporting experience since relegation from the Prem. We take the mick about his mistakes and quirks but anyone who listens to other teams commentary when forced to by the dodgy fire stick knows just how lucky we are and how much he sticks out head and shoulders above other local radio commentators.

Definitely needs a song on Friday at what’s his last home game regardless.

Is Wembley not home??

Apologies if its been said havent read the whole thread, but I was told he's retiring but his statement seems to suggest he's moving on

Yeah that’s what it looks like to me. I reckon it’s been on the cards for a while through with Gurney coming back into the fold. If Lorna Bailey ends up taking over from Gurney as well it’ll be awful.

Stoke. 2 year deal.

It’s impressive how consistently annoying Lorna manages to be

Neither Rob or Lorna Bailey handled the fans forum very well at all.

They tried to make it a witch hunt against King, and carried on that narrative throughout despite King answering the questions well.

 

[covcity4life]

If Lorna Bailey gets a permanent gig on there then I’m done with CWR too.

Fucking bitch was speculating how long it took a fan who sent a text in to walk home and what route he might take.

Not sure that’s the correct language to be using.
*it’s not.

Sounds like he is leaving cwr completely

 

[Diogenes]

My dream would be for the club to launch its own tv channel with Clive hosting his own show and doing match comms.

Could even have a live version of guess who where Clive has to identify past and present players. Would love to see him naming Gary Breen as Dion Dublin.

 

[shmmeee]

I hope the club recognises this officially on Friday. Would be nice anyway but gives a clear cue for a song as well.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Anyone got the CWR goals, I can't find it on CWR Sound of the Sky Blues

 

[PVA]

Apologies if its been said havent read the whole thread, but I was told he's retiring but his statement seems to suggest he's moving on

Clive said on air yesterday he's not retiring and that he's stepping down and 'you might still hear me elsewhere'.

He certainly made it sound like his own decision

 

[Grendel]

It’s clear he is a victim of BBC cuts

 

[lord_garrincha]

Stoke. 2 year deal.

Robins would walk on the spot... even doing away with the usual Stoke manager compo!

 

[lord_garrincha]

Different subject... but I do wonder how far away we are from this... Especially if we have some favourable results in the next three games.

Neither Rob or Lorna Bailey handled the fans forum very well at all.

They tried to make it a witch hunt against King, and carried on that narrative throughout despite King answering the questions well.

The confirmation bias was pretty obvious very early on. There seemed to be nothing that King could have said which would have been viewed as valid reasoning.

I wonder if they have eaten some humble pie given the possibility, nay probability, of another Wembley trip surely has totally justified King's decision.

 

[Bassette Deck]

I blame Lorna saying "See you in the Premiership" to people she interviewed before the play-off final more than I do Dabo for that penalty. More of her would be a disaster.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

End of an era. No longer able to ignore prophecies of “danger here” and always the possibility of complete misidentification of city scorers. Clive said MVE had scored Paterson’s goal. Easy error as MVE seems more naturally right footed than Pato. The word “broodje” is Dutch for batch (well bread roll).

Good point malc. I could never listen to Clive’s radio commentary without having a complete mental breakdown - as Clive was always predicting danger - with the oppo most likely playing the ball around their penalty area. With video I’ve cut down on the Valium.

 

[clint van damme]

Bad decision then

 

[blunted]

I hope this was his decision to leave which is how it has been presented.
If you ever listen to opposition presenters, you suddenly realise what an outstanding, knowledgeable football person Clive is, even if he does support Tranmere.
I always thought he was a bit annoying with his "fairness" regarding SISU but I guess BBC directives rule. In his early days, he did have a tendency to get you shitting your self by giving the impression the opposition were going to score every time they attacked. When you think how shit and biased people like Adam Dent were. you realise how Clive is so brilliant.
I will miss his signature wrong team commentaries which were a great feature. We could be playing at least four different teams in one game.
Good luck to him with any new ventures, he will be sorely missed.

 

[shmmeee]

Bad decision then

Id cut everyone else before him. As in literally everyone else employed by CWR

 

[Captain Dart]

It’s clear he is a victim of BBC cuts

Maybe he is going part time for a while before finally retiring and doesn't want all the travelling to away games.

I don't think it was entirely voluntary
