We probably do have 10-15 million but I'd suggest the owner might need a bit of convincing Robins is the one to spend it all atm. Rightly so in my opinion, I'd want to be very sure before parting with that.

If King no longer trusts MR to spend then he should sack him now.We probably do have 10-15 million but I'd suggest the owner might need a bit of convincing Robins is the one to spend it all atm. Rightly so in my opinion, I'd want to be very sure before parting with that.

Half of Robins signings have been from Chelsea youth team. I'd guess out of 50 signings - 10 have been a success.Robins has done infinitely more to show he can be trusted to buy players than King has that he can choose managers.

So you're saying Sisu understood football?And yet he’s taken us from L2 to the brink of the Prem. Whereas Doug has shown that he understands about as much about football as my missus.
Not much different to finding someone to manage any of your other businesses really. Look at the CV, the career trajectory, see how they come across in an interview... all managerial appointments come with a risk.Robins has done infinitely more to show he can be trusted to buy players than King has that he can choose managers.
But it's not possible that a new manager could be any better, he's 100% going to fail........Not much different to finding someone to manage any of your other businesses really.

I'm sure there are a good handful of managers that could do some serious damage with this squad plus 10-15 million extra investment. Maybe Robins is one of them but I think King will what to see more from the players he's spent big on already. Simms is sat on the bench behind Godden ffs.But it's not possible that a new manager could be any better, he's 100% going to fail........
Robins was recruited as a manager in League 2 for a reason. I'm not saying sack him, but there's 100% a manager out there, within our range, that would be getting more out of this squad.I'm sure there are a good handful of managers that could do some serious damage with this squad plus 10-15 million extra investment.

I agree.Robins was recruited as a manager in League 2 for a reason. I'm not saying sack him, but there's 100% a manager out there, within our range, that would be getting more out of this squad.
Less than 7.34 million euros. Our wage bill will have increased a decent amount I would have thought.I think we've about 7 left after our dealing in the summer. Doug will probably spread that over next 3 windows.

From bottom 3 to top 6, is that sustainable without immediate success?Less than 7.34 million euros. Our wage bill will have increased a decent amount I would have thought.
Is that right?From bottom 3 to top 6, is that sustainable without immediate success?
It's a guess, but we certainly aren't a club running on a tight budget anymore.Is that right?
Alarming if correct.
My guess would be middle of the pack for our outlay on wages. We're definitely getting less bang for buck right now.It's a guess, but we certainly aren't a club running on a tight budget anymore.
Completely agree @GreggsRobins was recruited as a manager in League 2 for a reason. I'm not saying sack him, but there's 100% a manager out there, within our range, that would be getting more out of this squad.
That was my old man’s arguement @TomRad85Robins was recruited as a manager in League 2 for a reason. I'm not saying sack him, but there's 100% a manager out there, within our range, that would be getting more out of this squad.
Dosh. People have been banned for less.Has Robins got left to spend do we think? Can't imagine it's much. Where is the next influx of millions coming from?
Rebuild 4/10

An experienced player of the Matty James type probably on a short term contract and a couple of top quality loans is what we need.Don't think we'll spend in Jan. Certainly not the money people expect.
Big Dave is still aroundPersonally, I am a bit concerned that King is running the club with zero experience in football. I'd have thought he'd bring in someone to run it for him/advise him.
So which is it? One minute it's the players aren't good enough for this league and the next, there's plenty out there who could be doing a better job.Completely agree @Greggs
Plenty out there could be doing a better job
it’s the classic ‘who would we get’
I honestly think we’d get someone who’d do better with this squad
Championship wise we’ve tried the journeyman manager route. Remember Coleman, Dowie, Boothroyd etc etc. None a patch on Robins
I actually think it’s more the manager at present, although players obviously should take responsibility tooSo which is it? One minute it's the players aren't good enough for this league and the next, there's plenty out there who could be doing a better job.
So are we saying a new manager could do much better with a substandard squad?
If he can’t be trusted to spend anymore he has to be sacked on your logic?Whatever we have left Robins cannot be trusted to spend it. That’s the truth, not one signing has been better than average and most have been poor. The team has gone backwards and we’ve now missed a massive opportunity, the support has been unreal but it won’t last past this season.
Robins was recruited as a manager in League 2 for a reason. I'm not saying sack him, but there's 100% a manager out there, within our range, that would be getting more out of this squad.
Then you'd have the potential problem spending the remainder to get around?Very fair point tbh, I’m neither pro-Robins or anti-Robins, my concern is that we’d end up with a manager that’s not any better than Robins, I’m sure there’s some decent managers out there but just not sure who we’d get. I’d hate us to do a Birmingham, sack a decent, loyal manager and get in some shit Z-list manager just because it’s a flashy move.
But I do have a worry that at times it looks like Robins is out of ideas. Personally, I’d wait until after January window, see how we do, if we’re still flailing around then probably we could look to get in someone else. I do think we’ll be alright though, just need that extra signing through the door and then to send Ayari back to Brighton.
Sorry I don’t follow, the remainder of what to get around what?Then you'd have the potential problem spending the remainder to get around?
