You'd be best of just ignoring this whole squad list thing.I am sure you are right.
Please explain how it works to this old git, as so many are saying we have to sell one before we bring one in.
So you don’t like King because he might not be a success in the future rather than because of anything fundamentally he’s actually done wrong In the present. Now i‘m clear.
in my opinion Mark Robins was brilliant for City …. But it should be seen in context. Promotion via the play offs was the minimum expected of a club of our scale and resources in LG2, yes we were a shadow of our former selves but still big by league comparison. He did a great job in lg1 and i do believe we would have got promoted had the season not been cut short, but none of us will ever know.I kind of hear you Deity.
In terms of hard evidence though, very few coaches have taken a club in free fall from L2 to within a penalty shoot out of the Premier League - with the added on drawbacks of dysfunctional ownership, not having a home and on a budget that was far from spectacular. The man is an absolute all time legend for doing that - whatever was going on before he arrived.
The budget is one of the biggest driving factors in football as well - Pep for example has had billions to spend/not sure how even he would have got on with SISU, little budget, playing against the likes of Fleetwood on a freezing wednesday night in front of a man and his dog and the mad hatters (front row for the cameras) and being forced out of his own stadium to play home games.
King has altered the course of the club.What?
I don’t like King cos he’s reversed the course of the club. But you didn’t think that analysis was complex enough.
Not true.What?

Not true.
Under King we reached the play offs final final and the FA Cup Semi final. Neither of these were under SISU.
Maybe we would have achieved the former under SISU we will never know but my own view is that either Vik or Hamer would have gone in the January to fund operating losses and that would have prevented that run into the play offs.
Our highest league position was in Kings first season. This really isn’t that difficult.In terms of league position we’ve got worse every season.
Not true.

With only 2 completed seasons to compare ? That's some fall off 6th to 9th. Massive regressionYes. That would be the case if we’ve got lower each season.
i wonder what the common link is ?Jesus Christ how does Doug King debate open on every forum

Who knows? Wanna discuss Doug King instead thoso is lati off or what?
In terms of league position we’ve got worse every season.
Hate?I don’t understand the Douk King hate to be honest. He isn’t perfect, none of us are, but he’s been bloody good for us.
We had an horrendous owner in SISU, no ambition, no- investment, broken relationships everywhere, and we were selling our best assets on the cheap, using the income to fund losses and using the loan market to paper over the cracks. They were absent owners, didn’t attend matches, didn’t give interviews and went missing when the heat increased.
The reverse is now true. Does he have an ego, almost certainly. I’ve not met any Very wealthy self made people that do not. Has he made mistakes, yes, but so does every business owner. Billionaires Sir Jim Ratcliffe is hardly error free at Man United is he ?
Our fan base can be very odd.
He bought the club at the end of January. He can hardly be given credit for that season, except for new owner bounce.Our highest league position was in Kings first season. This really isn’t that difficult.
No idea but we know who does and doesn't like Doug King, and that i feel is the most important thing.so is lati off or what?
lads, so Lati?
DK has been done to death and we can't have every thread degenerate into this
January 9th. 3 weeks of the window left.He bought the club at the end of January. He can hardly be given credit for that season, except for new owner bounce.
You could say the same about so many players , loads of shite have played at top clubs in various leagues ..but really he's an extraordinarily average footballer
Fair play his agent is very good
January 9th. 3 weeks of the window left.
Not selling our assets that window was importaht, and a change in direction .
That was after he bought the remaining 15%. The 85% he bought on the 12th January (link in your link).
January 27th says BBC

Partly true. Let's sell them in the summer instead.January 9th. 3 weeks of the window left.
Not selling our assets that window was importaht, and a change in direction .
On twitter today there are pictures of him training.so is lati off or what?
We are at the very least break even I would have thoughtIf Lati goes for profit does that count as a succesful signing?
Because the recruitment is starting to look not quite as bad as has been made out.
Think it would have to be right? especially at the model is about buying low, selling higher to spend the money and go again.If Lati goes for profit does that count as a succesful signing?
Because the recruitment is starting to look not quite as bad as has been made out.
So we accept its regression now, just arguing over how long it’s been happening. I doubt we’ll finish 9th this season.
[/QUOTE
Ah so we can use one 3 place lower league finish as an explanation for reversing the course of a club .
Good to know that at least in depth long term parameters are being used to formulate this judgement.
