Chairman should stay in the background and not be in the limelight like he has done. All of what you've mentioned I agree with though

Set sensible pricing for corporate boxes..

He is the good, the bad and the ugly. Lets see which one wins in the end.

I'll be very honest - it does feel like so much of DK's rep, which I'm sure we all agree started off so well - was derailed by 3 things:

1. An outsized reaction to MR's firing without the full context
2. A bunch of so called ITK's (who've proved themselves time and time again to know close to fuck all btw) sharing a bunch of unfounded stories about behind the scenes that challenge DK's character and decision making
3. His choice to be in the fucking team photo

So what if the guy wants recognition for the hard work and money he is investing in the club?! Everyone here would be exactly the same if you were in his position. Cannot believe how much people have forgotten who was running the club just a few years ago.

Yet we're now in the January window and just signed one of the best centre mids in the division for less than £4m.

I really hope we started hearing his song popping up every now and then. He deserves it.

King has backed Lampard. No doubt.

Had to pay off the mess of a coaching set up left by Robins.

Hired a new back room team for Frank.

Made a big money signing as Lampard’s first through the door.

Those that shouted at King at the fans forum should be made to write him an apology.

Make no mistake Doug is here for the money. Having said that I think he's done a reasonable job so far. Yes he's made mistakes but overall I think we're progressing.

I wouldn't want his job with all the so-called armchair experts that know better.

The coaching thing doesn't make sense to me.

I just can't imagine Robins was happy with Delaney and Dempster and Boateng etc.

So the question is did Doug not want to give him the backing on that front that he's given Lampard, or was Robins not able to find the right quality?

Please no , we don't need this again

To the tune of Jumanji by B Young

Doug Bling on the handsfree
Quick call through to Matty
“Cov city do you fancy”
“Saddle will give you a handy”

Rytons looking classy
We know what grimeys came to do
He wants to play for the City
In midfield playing 1’s and 2’s

He’s raising the clubs profile just like he said he would.

So you're not a fan then, who would you suggest they replace him with.

Doug King has been good for the club but my head fell off because he sacked Mark Robins and that's very difficult to get over.

Only time will tell if he made the correct decision. I hope he has but it's far too early to judge that.

He's not been perfect and we all know he hates kids but compared to the despair under SISU. We are in a much better place because of him.

I can’t remember exactly but it was along the lines of the kind of profile of manager they were looking to appoint. E.g. from a foreign league, or champ experience, what kind of system their preferred managerial candidate will look to play.

Instead we had journalists repeatedly asking him “but why did you sack Robins?!”.

I think he made the right decision either way... You can't have the slow starts. MR got there but it took too long. Is Lampard the answer maybe not but we couldn't keep doing the same thing over and over.

The woman from CWR got properly rattled as well.

He said from day one that he's a trader,if we get promoted he will take his profit...win for him and win for the support.
He's doing ok in my opinion and has made lots of improvements to the clubs infrastructure.

Same mate, same. If only we’d have known it was Lampard, before it was Lampard we could have all slept easy!

Jamesimus · Jan 31, 2025

Do I trust Doug yet? No.

Do I trust him more than I did a few months ago. Probably yeah.
