Said this earlier, most people in a professional setting would've been given leave for something like that. He had a camera in his face a week after

Yeah I’ve mentioned it a few times and my hunch is it’s part of the issue.

It’s worth remembering King gave Robins and Vivesh new contracts so can we dispense with the idea he’s been itching to change everything and get rid since he arrived.

Something has obviously completely changed his thinking.

Yes, the league position.

My wife supports Wolves.

She wants them to sack Gary O’Neill and appoint MR.

I was furious as any last night but I feel this has come too soon.

We've been shite for ages but it looked like we'd turned a corner and last night could have been a blip. Should have got until Christmas at least.

Doug has obviously had his sights set on this for ages though, he'd set up a structure in which MR wasn't comfortable in and taken away his trusted lieutenants. This structure, and the new head coach, have to be a success pretty quickly or Doug will find out how toxic football fans can be, if he won't already.

Robins will always be a legend here though, nobody will ever dispute that.

And I suspect the fact King has largely done what was asked of him and results have got worse.

Fully agree. King appears to be compling what he thinks a football club should look like. But he is forgetting, or doesn't know, the intricacies of what it means to the wider circle outside of the boardroom.

Well il say it now because I dont give 2 fucks about Doug c**t, but I saw texts directly from Matty James stating and I quote

'Yea im keen to come back, positive chat with the gaffer but he doesn't think he'll get it past the owner'

Il try and find the screenshot now tbh because im past caring

It's fucking obvious he's put the kibosh on a certain type of signing.
Don't need to see a screenshot for proof though if you've got it......

Also, in some respects he can’t win. He frees up a load of cash to buy decent players and the team aren’t performing. Fans booing at half time and full time due to performances. Some calling for Robins out and he’s getting abuse personally. He does something about it and other fans complain

Well to be fair the cash was made by players that were brought into the club before him , he fell into it

His own money though ? How much ?

Same with sisu. He's an employee at the end of the day.
He's never made public what went on when he went to Huddersfield. Probably vindicated by the fact they brought him back.

Yeah, a fair chunk. Bet with infrastructure, wages etc he’s chucked a few million in already though

Ps some of the fans got what they wanted. I’ve said before that a lot at home have pissed me off this season.

Like was King just waiting for the next defeat to sack him? That’s no way to run a club. If one result is what you’re waiting for, you clearly already made your mind up.

You think employees don't tow the line?
There's millions of examples of it in all walks of life.
And like I said, I know what Robins said when he left for Huddersfield and what actually happened.

I don’t think that time was now, and certainly not to be done in a pretty callous fashion for a man who is deservedly a club legend.

He gave us our club back.

Do you just keep on HOPING things will change ? Results and performances have not been good to say the least since the turn of the year.People quote Luton and Boro games (achieved against 10 men) they seem to forget the dross served up in most other games.
The buck stops with the manager
