Time to get your wallet out in January, admit you’ve got it wrong with the shit we’ve brought in and back Lampard with the players he wants. If he doesn’t, and still thinks we’ve got a ‘top 6 deck’ then he’s clueless and we’ll be in a relegation battle. We need at least 2 CB’s and 1 CM with maybe more positions if we can giveaway some of our deadwood

We are going to have to lose tens of millions to even make this squad mid table standard

If he’s got these ‘ambitions’ of getting us into the top 6 then he needs to put his own money into the club and not just rely on spending the money we’ve had from sales

How you can point the finger at him when he hasn't even been afforded the chance to kick a ball in weeks I will never know

He is a damn sight better than what we have had to put up with recently

We will stay up, even with this side. Throwing money in January when prices are inflated isn't the answer. One or two maybe

So the play offs are gone for this season after today's performance. The question now is, are we good enough to stay up. The answer to this question will determine how the January transfer market plays out. I believe that not a lot will happen, other than a couple of old heads in key positions to ensure we stay up. The major work will be in the summer and like before, what we spend will be what we can generate from sales plus whatever comes our way from any potential Vic move. The GK issue should be sorted by next game when Wilson should be back so that's one problem solved. I would also expect Kitching to be brought back in along with Bidwell, add a couple of warhorse in Jan and we will be sweet.

is it his fault?

Brought in who on paper (CV wise) were better than we had. Tried to make us a more professional outfit.

Spent on our facilities

Heavily backed our manager and recruitment team for a squad overhaul

is it his fault the players have all turned out trash?

“If you get to Christmas with 26 points, the pressure will be triple, the players will be thinking about the summer, the season’s gone and it will get way worse for the football club and put it at risk and that’s why I acted as I did.”

He’s a businessman. Which hasn’t allowed him to see the value of a player or two that he doesn’t think he can sell on. It’s also why we have a lot of youngsters - who are terribly fragile.

Made himself look a right idiot with that comment.

Presumably he has to sack Lampard now as he's doing worse than he thinks Robins would have done?

Let's be honest most of the mess regarding the quality of our squad is down to Robins.
The Barnsley trio, JDS, Binks and probably Dovin, BTA all strange buys.
Doug is liable if he blanket ruled out the purchase of older, experiences players or loans.
But whatever, what came in for our 'windfall' Gok, Gus money looks really low quality. Sad really.

Any manager would struggle to get many more.

He gets some flack today because I don't understand the Collins decision.

That comment was his justification for sacking Robins.

So hy his own admission he made the wrong decision.
