I’m sure that Van Nisrelrooy has said somewhere he doesn’t want to be a number 1 from his previous experiences in the Netherlands.

Strange that considering how well he has got united playing purely on a tactical standpoint. I watched them play yesterday, he had Ugarte, Casemiro and Bruno playing really close together and in a triangle shape, he had the wingers playing on the shoulder.

He just looked like he was far better at understanding how to get the best out of the tools opposed to Ten Hag.

He looks like a leader aswell, honestly would be all over that instead of Lampard.

For calling him out?
Isn’t he the man who claims he doesn’t do anything in the open?
Then names applicants for a job
he goes public when it suits

like throwing robins under the bus to win back support

it stinks imo

He’s stayed silent on the reasons for Adi leaving and the sub standard coaching set up for months whilst fans on here, podcasts, phone ins claimed it was a secret DK plot to undermine and isolate Mark.

He’s got battered for 4 days on the back of misinformation being spread ….

Who can blame him for putting the record straight.

We all love MR but let’s be honest he’s allowed Adi’s reputation to be trashed without ever commenting on the fact he forcesd him out and similarly who was really driving the back room set up.

Mark allowed the fans to see him as the victim when in truth he was the instigator.

It's amazing how a few words from Doug can change people's perception so much.

I'd like to see MR given a chance to respond before we change the narrative so completely.

So why come out with it now? To save his face

That’s a very bad trait especially as it goes against the way he works

and you wonder why so much info is leaked

funny how everyone now believes robins is the issue

the same robins who bought us all our best times in the past 20+ years

adi reputation. he was sacked because of his methods with players and that put other players off coming here

don’t play adi was golden boy the whole time

Im not suggesting that Robns was poor, Adi was great or King is faultless.

im suggesting the story is much more complex than the Robins blind faith supporters will allow themselves to believe.

Mark was happy for Adi and Kings reputations to be damaged to protect his own. It’s not a good look either.

the blind robins supporters

fuck me king really has brainwashed you lot

robins bought this club from league 2 to established championship team

if adi was that good, he would have been off to somewhere else

fact is king threw robins under the bus tonight

All he had to say was we needed change. instead started the forum like an episode from corrie

King just defended the accusations against him after all that’s been rumoured about.

I thought it was acceptable he could do that

We needed change wasn't enough. The absolute shit tons of made up nonsense that became fact across here and other places had to be addressed, he addressed it. A lot of it was almost the exact opposite to the tripe posted and now we have some damaged egos.

To be fair. He’s new to the role. He seemed visibly upset today and wouldn’t shock me if that’s because of the rate of misinformation, criticism (which is fair but nothing something he’d be used to as he wasent previously in the public eye)and in some cases just sexism to his staff, all from people who say they back the club.

Don’t think anyone thinks robins was the issue just that a stupid comment got out of hand and the team split and it hasn’t worked since.

Since Kitching thinks it’s Lampard and it seems to be moving at some pace, what do you think the players will make of it

Some of the over the top nonsense from fans (threats of violence etc) meant he had to give details and defend himself.

If he'd just said we needed a change there would be even more of a meltdown.

why?

He’s the owner, if he can’t take criticism then he’s in the wrong job

what it shows more than ever

he will do anything to ensure he doesn’t get the blame

if he has to start a fans forum to create a drama of two ex employees then it’s poor

You keep avoiding the point that doesn’t suit your narrative ….

why is it not acceptable for King to blame Robins for Robins own actions but it is ok for Robins to allow Adi and King to be damaged for decisions Robns took ?

That's what this is if people are honest. Damaged egosm.egg on face. Easier to just put fingers in ears and shout lalalala

Now don't get me wrong of course it's good to keep an open mind and wanna hear robins side of it.

But it's clear king isn't 100 percent lying so let's stop pretend that's the case. Of you still don't trust him find something else to explain it cos old excuses have been ripped apart.

It never crossed anyone’s mind that it could come back to Robins because of our sentiment.

I believed Robins (and still do, frankly) that he’d have turned things around and that gives us all a blind spot. His success over 7 years made us believe that the changes in club as a whole was the issue and not him.

Given some of the stuff I’ve heard on AV, there’s definitely a briefing war to some of the ITKs. On AV, I was told he’s a ‘complicated character’ and ‘difficult to work with’ which is similar to what AV said about his boss. The other stuff I’ve heard is almost straight up character assassination and doesn’t fit in with what DK said about wanting to keep the band together.

How could Robins comment on Adis departure when Adi clearly got his solicitors involved?

I'm no legal expert but I think how candid King was tonight might come back to bite him on the arse, or at least cost him a few bob.

And the clamour by you and others to trash a highly succesful manager is embarrassing.

Throwing in 'we love Mark' or 'I didn't want him sacked' isnt some invisible cloak that hides your agenda.

I'm just trolling a little bit now tbf, I'll get over it in a day or 2.. but the way some posters have really tried to pull apart anyone with a different opinion has been totally deranged and there's some embarrassing posts on here that now look even worse.
Once again, happy with the stance I took, didn't feel Robins was taking us forward anymore. The end.

I really dont think he will. I didnt take from the thing today that there is an NDA as at one point doug said “mark will say whatever he says when he’s ready”

but honestly i wouldnt expect him to. He didnt ever like talking to the media, i dont think he’ll be arsed getting his story out there. He strikes me as a “the people that know, know, anyone else doesnt matter” type

Dunno. Did he boast about tactics possibly and mad either look like he was the brains behind success possibly?
