If FL fails then DK is going to look rediculous.
I think King does have a large ego...
I take King's words about Mark insistence on us having a flat coaching structure with a pinch of salt as we only have one side of the story and I expect will continue to only have one side of that story.MR binned off AV and insisted on the 'flat' coaching structure we have. Does that mean he has a large ego?
Make your bloody mind up, Hill.I agree with Robins getting sacked: “Great piece that is”
I disagree with Robins getting sacked: “Absolute load of bollocks that”
Robins hasn’t got us promoted from the Championship, so if the new guy doesn’t he willIf FL fails then DK is going to look rediculous.
Sacking MR is a very brave move. Get it right and you can say I told you so, get it wrong and the entire support turns against you and your Fooked.
As a ccfc fan rather than a MR fan I hope DK has called this one right, but I can't say I'm not worried.
Something I've noticed is the players all seem relatively chipper in their interviews now.What if King is right ?
What if Mark is not as good without a high quality coach along side him ? What if he was refusing to bring one in ?
What if tactically Mark is a bit short of what it takes at the top of the pyramid ?
King has several huge advantages over us.
He’s watched Mark at work most days, he’s discussed the issues with Mark in detail on multiple occasions, he’s heard what the players think of the relative merits of Mark and Adi, he will have heard what other people in the game think about Marks capabilities to take us to the next stage again.
We don’t have hardly any of those insights and yet some fans can’t open their mind to the very idea that King could be right. It’s very odd behaviour.

I think it had just gone stale and needed a change but people are finding that hard to accept.
Agreed.Not sure you can read anything into that or can even gauge how 'chipper' they are.
Players move around, play for different managers. They'll like some better than others. Don't think it will make any difference to them.
I just did...Not sure you can read anything into that or can even gauge how 'chipper' they are.
I too disagree with his sacking. He had the task of putting a management team together and fell short of that. Momentum has dropped. Then other things happen. Player’s contracts, season ticket sales etc. Another rebuild will cost Doug a bob or two.Love how this thread has posts with wildly different responses, all of which I feel or have felt somewhat even now or over the past few weeks and kind of agree with.
I disagreed with Robins' sacking at this point in the season and still think it's likely to be a big mistake.
Even if it can come across as hypocritical or disingenuous paying tribute to a manager who you just sacked, I'd rather King pays tribute in the programme to Mark Robins because regardless of whether Mark deserved more time or not, his achievements merit that tribute.
Doug has only been here two years and has already made a controversial decision about managerial appointments much like McGinnity did during that same period and I hope it turns out better than that did.
I think King does have a large ego and is clearly willing to make decisions that he feels are right and is incredibly determined that the club be promoted. I personally feel the club's budget likely isn't top six in the league though and he should have curbed his enthusiasm at this stage.
Regardless, I'm relieved that I'm unlikely to have to cringe through listening to Doug's song again and he is no longer the messiah just because he wasn't SISU.
So why do you disagree with it then ? Sounds like you reluctantly agree with it.I too disagree with his sacking. He had the task of putting a management team together and fell short of that. Momentum has dropped. Then other things happen. Player’s contracts, season ticket sales etc. Another rebuild will cost Doug a bob or two.
Agreed.
For many of our team they will have had a relatively short relationship with Robins, for some of the older ones like Bidwell it will be mixed given that Robins has tried to replace him regularly.
Players like Collins, Kitchin, Torp etc might think they have a fresh chance to impress a new manager.
There will be some, Eccles, Sheaf, that will feel Robins has been brilliant for them but I think for the majority they will simply move on and focus on the next guy.
Robins didn’t play the box midfield at all this season?I think it's interesting that Carr is basically playing the same team Robins did. There haven't been any major shocks in team selections. Not even Collins really as he came in because Dovin had a knock.
Kitching is an interesting one. Not sure how long he'll be sticking around
It’s funny how some decided it was down to ‘Dr Roberts’ and King forcing the changes on Robins and the reason for it all going wrong. Now they seem to have gone quiet about it.MR binned off AV and insisted on the 'flat' coaching structure we have. Does that mean he has a large ego?
Think it belies a huge ego TBH Pete. He clearly thinks he’s turned us from a lower half champ side to play off contenders and Robins was letting his big project down.
So I assume you aren't hoping for Doug wearing just a Santa hat and nothing else behind door 24 of your CCFC advent calendar?How anyone can defend him coming out with that bullshit yesterday is beyond me.
The condescending prick.
The sooner the new man comes in and he gets back in the back ground the better, (if he can manage to keep himself there and out of the limelight that is).

How is it balanced? It reads like an Executive Summary (for those that hal and how good old Doug’s project is the saviour.
The first 2/3s of the article is telling us all about the history of the club from foundation to the dark place we were in - like none of us didn’t experience the administration, SixField and St Andrews days. Shockingly bad.
The final line or two is really troubling:
‘He knows how much I wanted this to work with him and the sadness I feel that it did not’.
Robin’s beat every goal set of him and delivered earlier than expected on the Play Off Push. Before Robins, we hadn’t been in any play offs, in any league!
To say it did not work with Robins, is a little potshot and not frankly true, for all of us that have been behind the club for longer than 2 years.
Doug is an egotistical, narcissistic c**t that has fucked up ever decision he has come across. The connection between fans and players and staff is gone and not it feels like the club is full of cunts. Doug Queen Out.
I have always scoffed at the 'connection' between the players and fans stuff, our fans write off any signing who hasn't scored 15 goals in his first three games as shite and are some of the biggest boo boys in the leagueHow is it balanced?
