I don’t think either acts were impulsive. Any other manager produces our form over 30 games and loses 8 of our last 12 home games would probably warrant the sack. Our loyalty to Robins is admirable, but it is a possibility that was holding us back. That’s not a view I personally hold, but I’m open minded to that possibility.

Using this forum as a barometer, there were 3 threads asking the question of Robins in or out before the axe was swung. Which is never a good sign for any manager.

Robins and Viveash obviously didn't fit in with Dougs new elite model coaching set up that he's been advised to set up and is the modern way apparently, it's clear to me now.

So why give them both 4 year contracts when he joined?

If we're planning on backing a new manager with decent funds, as we did with Robins, the owner might feel Lampard has decent pull. I'd imagine he is still well connected at Chelsea too so you may see a loan player of a quality that was previously out of reach.
Good luck to him if it is him, I'm sure all would want him to do well if appointed.

Yep.. nobody will ever convince me Robins should have gone or that the way it was done was very shitty and disrespectful, but whoever it is coming in needs to be supported.

Why are they desperate for a job, I'm sure Lampard never has to work again, Broomfield is at Wycombe so he's not desperate, in fact I'm sure none of the managers mentioned are desperate

Well I'm 100% against someone who's managed Wycombe Wanderers to the top of League 2 in November and most of the other failures that have been touted on this site and in the media.

Yeah this is what I don’t particularly understand. If I was Lampard I’d be living out the rest of my days permanently on holiday.

Lampard has my backing (if he is the man), but it’s hard to escape the view that this would be a route to a ‘big job’ if he did well and nothing more.

For better or worse it looks like it’s now time to put the football supporter emotions to one side- we’re used to a guy who seemed to love the club and someone we’d almost come to see as one of our own, now we may have someone who’s here to just do a job, nothing else, and if he does it well will be moving on again. That’s football, but it’s not what we’ve been used to and it’s a big shift.

Football fever isn't it. Mourinho could retire 100 times over, instead he's now in Turkey giving bizarre interviews about how much the league stinks.

Wycombe are in League 1 for a start. The fact you don’t know that would suggest you don’t have a great knowledge of football and thus your opinion isn’t valuable as others

Did people expect Robins to be in charge forever or something? At the end of the day,things needed to change & things needed freshening up - it might not actually be all doom & gloom with a new man in charge
People are acting as if Robins has passed away ffs

I agree, people don't like change, rightly or wrongly its happened and I want what's best for CCFC, if we do get promoted it'll be the best appointment ever.

I was around when Sillett was fired, and I’d say this has caused a bigger impact. Got to take social media etc into account, and the fact the club is twice the size now as it was then in terms of supporters going to matches, but taking all into account this managerial sacking has been a lot bigger.

He wanted stability and took the advice after. He's a statistical man and has looked at those since January and they don't make good reading. If you have enjoyed a successful business career using statistics then you would continue to do that, it's what all clubs use nowadays and sentiment is taken away.

I doubt this will be a very popular opinion, but I've completely checked out in the last few days or so.

Losing Robins was absolutely shit, the players piss me off, and King appointing Lampard (if correct) just feels like we've become the ultimate parody club.

Someone said yesterday to me, how would you feel with Lampard replacing Robins? It all just sounded so wrong. Robins out. Lampard in. What. The. fuck.

Questions can be asked about how deeply he’s looked at the stats then. I actually think he has just considered results tbh.

This part is one of my fears going forward. Being the next Watford etc. Having a long serving manager and a relatively patient fan base was something that set us apart from the rest.

I will never simp for King. He has been edging us as fans for far too long. I hope Mike Ashley will take over and let us fans goon to our hearts content.
