If the stories are right and King vetoed Chris Ramsay then that would make sense.

If ever there was a performance to get a manager sacked it was last night….well that and QPR first half
Well sure that's a possibility , but we've been creating chances all seapon and mostly been very wasteful even when weve played poorly . these things are the part of the reason robins is out of work right now .
The 2 conceded last night were so shit and typical of this team , complete bullshit flukery
I agree there are, but it concerns me that King had clearly been lining up this decision for some time but doesn’t seem to know who his main target is. Vibes of what happened when Hamer left, we all kind of knew he was off months in advance.
exactly, I think it was far too early to sack Robins but I can see there are glaring tactical issues that need to be addressed and put right
I think robins probably had an idea his time was up .. people picked up on his demeanor and I hadn't really .
I get that but imo it's not what I see on the pitch. By that I mean I still dont feel we make lots of chances. Well not on a dominating fashion anyway. I never really see us carve teams apart well not at least consistently.
I understand the stats may say different but I'm looking forward to us playing a better style of football that makes creating chances and scoring goals a reoccurring theme in every game
Fair point, although I don’t know if King is competent enough to have that in place. We did, after all, announce we were looking to bring in a new assistant manager in summer, posted a job advertisement and then promoted two coaches from within and said we weren’t going to appoint an assistant manager after all. Doesn’t scream joined up recruitment thinking.
I hope you're right , we've only scored more goals than last season once since 1978
He’s seems a bit off all season and I put it down to losing his mum but on reflection it probably started before that.
They didn't, they came in later. Presumably recovery.Just repeating what others have said on this forum, that the players have got the day off today.
Tbf he might have someone lined up. How quickly the appointment takes will probably be a good clue as to whether he has someone in mind or whether he's making it up as he goes along.
OK. I get some were crowing for him to go, but not many. Some questioned his decisions in the light of poor results. Not sure that's cause to question their morals.
and on your last point... I am a patient boy. Kudos to anyone on here that spots that reference!
Seen some batshit takes today. People can be annoyed and sound off, but I've seen everything from 'i'm ripping up my season ticket' to 'hope we get relegated'. I doubt they mean it, but still, steady on, no need to get hysterical.
It's a real shame all this, but we go again. DK has taken a massive gamble, it might go south, but to almost wish for that, for future 'i told you so' credits, is a bit odd.

Hopefully means its Carsley so he has to wait for him to finish England duty.
People said previously that Robins should keep his job even if we got relegated as well which was always strange.
I think it was a bit of a shock though as most probably assumed he had more time after a couple of wins, me included.
I always thought similar with Strachan, in that his players were motivated and galvanised because of the respect they had for him as a player (still the best player on the pitch at nearly 40). And as new, younger and often foreign players were signed, they saw him just as a shouty ginger man.
Anyway, back to MR, just speechless and gutted when I heard the news this morning. As someone else said, he's all my boy has known as a fan from 9 until 16. Robins helped give me 7 fabulous years of father and son time and memories
.
Missed that from grendel
Very balanced
Not sure his time had come but can respectfully disagree
You avoided my question. I’ll ask again. What about this set up is providing results you wish to sustain?
I've just been and bought a Gillette and some Olive Oil in protest.
It’s been discussed on other threads - only meaningful thing you can do is dress it up as him leaving by mutual consent, and I’m really surprised that isn’t what’s happened.
Imagine if it came out they had approached someone before they announced the sacking.
Plus you would probably want any new manager to come in after the Sunderland game anyway.
Too early for that sort of kinkiness. I will wait until at least 5pm mate!
I said to my brother immediately as the new broke that it was odd that it was announced as a sacking. Don’t often see that these days, especially for managers with as much credit in the bank as Robins. Would suggest to me a disharmonious ending with either King wanting to send a message about who’s in charge, or Robins not agreeing to ‘sugarcoat’ his departure.
I have avoided nothing.
The results on the pitch will come in time
Currently I'm happy with the value of the squad and the potential for future sales model.
You don't, but you can show tremendous gratitude for the brilliant job a manager has done and the achievements under his tenure.
Show the greatest respect.
