Performances and results were fantastic from new year until early April.
Cheers
Performances and results were fantastic from new year until early April.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
I understand the players weren't in training and found out by the social media posts
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.

You really dont have a clue how football works do you?Off with a game Saturday?
Well I thought they’d be in for recovery or somethingYou really dont have a clue how football works do you?
Most managers yes. But as Simon Jordan said Robins has more than enough in the bank to be given time to turn it around. We've started slow 3 times in the last 3 years yet still made a playoff final and an FA cup semi. Kings just sore his shit 5 year season ticket prem plan might be in Jeapordy. Well that's his fault for seeing pound signs when he joinedDo you just keep on HOPING things will change ?

I don't know if you're trying to suggest this isn't true....FFS given the players the day off after last night's performance that's what's wrong with the club, so they've got one day to prepare for the Sunderland game and they will probably spend most of Friday traveling up to Sunderland,
Well I thought they’d be in for recovery or something
Yep.. DK jumped the gun
Absolutely knew this was on the cards head coach not a manager, robins ran this club top to bottom and did it amazingly well, DKs ego couldn’t take it, some puppet to come in.
Pathetic

There's towing the line and there's making things up.
That wouldn't be enough after last night's effortsOr a bollocking
They are tbfWell I thought they’d be in for recovery or something
They could have at least checked it for spelling and grammar…Agreed, all the 'hard decision' stuff is crass and completely insincere. Wankers.
He’s also generally very careful with how he speaks and what he really means is often a level or two below the surface.Robins always backed king , never said a bad word about him
So king gave robins a script about the coaches?There's also saying what the owner tells you to say.
The altetnative is to believe that for the first time in 7 years Robins decided not to work with an assistant, with loans or with experienced players.
Results went sour, King decides to sack him and end the Robins era, but he like the coaches he brought in so much that he stipulates the new man must work with them

Looking at league stats since start of 2024
Played 39
Won 13
Drew 6
Lost 16
45 points from a possible 105
8 of those wins came before April. That run of games (as well as at the end of 2023) and cup run has hidden reasonably poor form over the last year.
not sure that scans as well as the original songSo king gave robins a script about the coaches?
Maybe he was just involved like he said he was?
Not disputing that. I would have given him time. But I imagine Doug isn't just looking at the start of this season, but the longer picture.Well most of that form is the start of this season which most fans are happy to give him time , mentioning last season makes no sense as there are lots of other factors .

Multiple (or all) of the players letting him down does suggest something else is the root cause though.It is such a shame. I always imagined Robins would lead us to the Premier League and complete the job. It feels surreal he has been sacked.
To be honest, the more people try to tell me it isn't the fault of the players, the more it pisses me off. Certainly Robins has made some bad decisions, and I have been very critical of the way he reacts in games, but for me they have massively let him down.
We have seen such gutless performances at times this season, and to think he got sacked after the one last night sickens me a bit. That was his last swan song and they turned up and played like that? It was probably the worst one of all. I have been very vocal about our lack of leadership being a problem this season, and it seems to hold true. No one is really setting an example, and our captain is just so uninspiring. Even when their goalkeeper was play acting yesterday, our players just stood there and took it. We just come across as weak and pathetic so often.
I thank Mark Robins for everything he has done for this club, and I wish he was given the respect to leave on his own terms because of it. Not making excuses for him like I said, but I don't blame him entirely either. Regardless of that he will surely go down as one of our best ever managers, and rightly so.
Doug isn't looking at any picture , he won't enjoy the backlash next home gameNot disputing that. I would have given him time. But I imagine Doug isn't just looking at the start of this season, but the longer picture.
Silver lining@Grendel Is that the end of Taxi threads? Is Jackett on his way?!
And this is the reason he's been given the boot and rightly so, on results alone.
You really are an idiotAllen
