Of course he doesn't 'take advice' from social media, but it creates an environment. People think their negative (even vicious) stuff on the web doesn't filter through to the players, affect their confidence, undermine the manager, or help set the scene for decision-making. I disagree.

Robins has mentioned "Keyboard warriors" on more than one occasion

I wonder if in some perverse way MR is relieved he has been dismissed.
Boy has he had to put up with a very long shit show.

When it really will hit home - is when Robins gets another job and is in the dugout against us...

He will be an instant pick for any championship team in need of a manager, and he strikes me as the sort of person who will be keen to get straight back to it.

That will be heartbreaking

Ultimately its results that did for him, but when you have a scenario like this where it’s a very difficult & emotive decision and you’re not quite sure, of course the things people say on places like this are going to be noticed. And some of the rubbish going up by the vocal minority can’t have been missed- I think Robins himself mentioned keyboard warriors didn’t he

Sadly for Robins I don’t think he’ll succeed anywhere else.

Clubs now want an impact manager, which he certainly isn’t. He wouldn’t get the time to build a good team

I think that's a bit of a sweeping statement. He may need to drop to L1 (Wycombe??) but he will be back. Especially if he can team up with Viveash again!

We scrapped into the league 2 playoffs in the last couple of games.

I’m in no way undermining his achievements, but the first half of that season was pretty poor.

Plenty of clubs in league 2 with promotion ambitions would’ve sacked him a few months in

Random.

He wasn't the best manager in the division, clearly.

Is that the performance coach who played for Villa and Swindon (women football granted), who's dad and grandad were both footballers and who worked at the Premier League for 7 years?

My opinion is, we have made some bad decisions on the staff we have appointed. And we will pay the price.
I never believed the party line trotted out that Robins was fully on board with the decisions.
It’s Kings agenda, Robins has paid the price. King now has his club,full of his yes men and women.
We now have our own mini Trump in charge,with no one to question his decisions.
Let’s see where it ends.

That sacking worked out well didn't it?
This is very reminiscent.
Wonder if someone's in Kings ear like Reid was in McGinnitys?

In fairness , he had to build a pretty much new side

What a load of revisionist garbage- the man got us promoted at the first attempt. What else was expected of him?

We could go on to talk about what he did after, but anyway- one thing Robins absolutely did have was an impact. It’s not really up for debate.

someone somewhere will be advising him, he’s not a stupid man and I cannot imagine he’d be making an appointment without some input from somewhere.

I’m assuming that this will also be the end of the existing coaching staff as the new manager is likely to want to bring his own people in.

I’m sorry to see MR go but a change in the backroom staff could turn out to be a good thing.

Exactly, which is what he would want to do somewhere else. I'm not sure chairmen today are patient enough

If the press release is to be believed, they want a Head Coach reporting to the Performance Director, not a new manager. It might not be down to whoever that is to decide their backroom staff. If they can't work with Dr Roberts, they won't take the job.
