Is it respect to put at as the figurehead for this garbage?

I feel like the respectful thing to do would be get Doug’s man in and let him stand on his own two feet.

You know, the thing the club has stated is the aim by 2028?

And it's 2024, no?

Yes and no.

Of course they will claim it, no one forces fans to believe it.

He doesn’t look happy. He’s not got his men around him. He’s taking more flak than ever for things that aren’t his decision seemingly.

Is that respectful?

No different to the commercial advertising throughout the last 20 years.

We are playing undefendable football but the Premier League package never once guaranteed promotion.

It won’t ruin mine either. I’ve been going long enough to know there are ups and downs and it’s 100% worth hanging in there for the ups. I’m not sure Doug will feel like that though. For all we know the failure to get going this season may lie at his door but he’s in charge, he’s at every game to see, feel and hear it all and most importantly, he has his hand on the brakes as far as Mark is concerned.

Because the club have sold season tickets on the basis that we’ll be a PL club by 2028

He’s got the season for me. But I don’t like seeing him like this. He needs a right hand man bringing in asap at the very least. He seems like he’s drowning and by all accounts is in a bad place anyway. Get the man some help or cut him free and get the yes man Doug wants in.

Robins has my complete and utter respect. I will never downplay his achievements.

However I support the club, not the manager.

I’ve not even called for him to go anyway

No of course not but it's been clear that it's the target, which I don't think helps.

I would say relegation is more likely.

I am not convinced Coventry will ever be promoted to the PL.

Having player have a go at each other on the pitch tends to be a sign all is not right in the camp.

Something has changed for the worse.

I love fans now saying "I've been tricked into spending £500! They called it a Premier league package".

I think this is what I'm struggling with. There is nothing I can point to and say, "when that's sorted" or "when he gets back".

We can have a same starting 11 which was winning games last year. I really don't understand how we are so disjointed.

Even without the pre-season hype and expectations, our performances in the main have been relegation standard.
We always have the odd totally shit performance, but then seem to bounce back. That's not happened this year. There are no signs so far of them doing so.

The marketing team aren't going to try and flog tickets with "Well we'll just be glad if we win every now and then".

We were a penalty kick away from the PL.

Expecting us to at least compete for the play offs is not demanding “instant success”

The only disappointment today is the scale of the defeat.

We will be fine and finish mid table
