Should Doug have taken out a full spread in the Evening telegraph and announced it himself over tannoy at the council house this morning ?

The man put himself in the team photo this summer and has now sacked our best manager in 40 years without saying a word to the fanbase. If you don't think that's a shitty way to behave as the supposed leader of our club, I don't know what to tell you.

It would be good for him to say something. He clearly needed to do something whether that was to buy in January or something else.

Some have mentioned that we didn’t get this brown bloke. Was that King’s decision, Robins having a hunch that we’d be ok? Who knows?

Derby haven’t won a game all season away from
Home, I guess the fact we lost last night and looked like relegation fodder is down to King being in the squad photo this season right?

The level of exaggeration you guys need to add to make your point even halfway sensible says a lot.

You used the example of Klopp, Ferguson and wenger leaving and that we should compare.

Genuinely interested to know how King should have approached this differently compared to the above?

I’ll ask the question again seeing as you seem to be missing the point you originally raised.

What exactly should King of Said in his statement about sacking MR?

How about literally anything? He's said nothing at all. He hid behind Mark Hornby and still hasn't commented?

Before going off on one with Doug King , why not see who the new man/woman is and how they get on. It might be the best thing to happen. Yes i am sad to see Mark go but end of last season and this season has been awful. Yes you can say behind the scenes has been a mess and yes he might of missed Adi but nobody knows the actual reason for this. It would be nice for Doug to explain these situations and what happened in the forum next week but i suppose there will clauses in pay offs etc to save this info going out.

I am willing to give Doug a chance on this he isn't that daft to realise what reaction he is getting today and its a brave move as it could backfire badly.

But end of the day we are all Sky Blue through and through and lets support the lads on the pitch.

Hopefully in a few years we can remember the good old days under Mark but in the Premier League with the new head coach

Well he gave them both 4 year contracts so he’s a bit daft

My heart tells me it's the wrong decision, but my head tells me that after 4 wins, 4 draws and 13 defeats in our last 21 games, something had to change.

If we win, it's his team and he built it.
If we lose, it was the recruitment team and Doug.

The fact is the decision was taken when we didn’t offer Lawrence and Hamer the money they wanted. It’s been a slow bleeding out since King came in.

Not that something was engineered for MR demise? Getting rid of Laurence then Vivash sounds like a pretty good plan to disturb the balance.

Click to expand...
Nick,football supporters up and down the country can’t believe what we have done.
Fans who have no interest in Coventry whatsoever ,think we have treated our manager in a disgusting manner.
I can’t remember other football fans reacting to a club sacking a manager like this before.
The press, the media almost everyone thinks it’s wrong. There has been an unprecedented reaction across the football community to this action.
Time will tell if King knows what he is doing, I personally think he is clueless and has made the biggest mistake ever.
Just my opinion.
