That comment was his justification for sacking Robins.

So hy his own admission he made the wrong decision.

But ultimately, he was explaining his sacking.

What he said has come true and it would have under Robins or any manager.

No he wanted to avoid being on 26 points which he hasn't managed to achieve with super frank

Depends what you consider right. He's been given more money than the vast majority of managers at this level and alongside Austin recruited what seems a very average side.

A new manager is now in a position where he needs to get this average side moving.

It's not that average when you consider where we finished last season with much of the same squad .

And you can blame doug for not paying cal his worth

Absolutely. He worded it poorly. He was justifying sacking a manger who ultimately played a huge part in leading us to 24 points at Christmas.

Doug should have had the new manager in early and took too long for me personally.

We'd have likely sold Gyokeres and Hamer in January with SISU in charge.

Absolutely. In hindsight he should have given O'Hare the contract.

If we had sold Gyokeres in that January window under SISU we wouldn't have been anywhere near the play offs.

They were hardly going to sell off 2 of the club's main assets towards the end of takeover negotiations ffs.

The King deal was announced on the 10th January, so at that point (1st JAN), they'd have been in advanced negotiations with King. If they'd gone ahead and sold two of their main assets, the whole takeover would have been in jeopardy.

He was justifying it and worded it poorly. It will come back to bite him but ultimately what he said was right.

It is possible to blame multiple people GIMOC.

My only gripe with the owner currently is that he thinks this side is good enough - He can rectify that in January if he chooses to

Austin was a SISU appointment, however his position is becoming untenable and if this side hasn't improved by May then I expect action to be taken in regards to his employment

It's really not that difficult to understand. If you're in advanced stages of takeover negotiations, the current owners aren't going to risk the whole thing falling apart.

Yeah it’s not like they tried to sell O’Hare (who you think is amazing) to Burnley in summer 2022 is it?
