God damn, I'm not really sure how to react. I'm just stunned. This isn't a day I ever thought would happen

It will hurt for a while, but this is for the best. As the statement says and taking emotion out of it, the performances have simply not been good enough.

8 defeats in 11 at home. Dreadful.
Only a handful of wins since last spring.

Very surprised by this and guessing there’s more to it (like with Viveash). The players effort and intensity in the first half was poor which was bizarre after two good wins

That is true. The fact is Robins has had a poor end of season and we look like a relegation threatened team.

The statement seems a bit cold but I suppose there is little else that can be said.

The players have not performed. Everybody has a part to play in it. Players should be ashamed of this outcome.

“The Club will take its time to appoint a successor to Mark, although the position will be that of Head Coach working within the new structure set up by the Club over the last two years.”

this is as I predicted. robins was never Doug’s man

Can’t see this ending well. The majority of fans didn’t want this. Going to be a hostile atmosphere unless the new manager gets off to a flier.

MR deserves a fucking statue

Surely Doug has someone already lined up. It can't be a knee jerk reaction to last night after 2 previous wins.

Yessir.

Only alternative would've been some kind of 'shift upstairs' but I don't see MR being into that. Damn shame.

Great , and now the next appointment is critical and will show how much doug king wants to be a serious club , because if we appoint a gary Rowett then I'm afraid we will be going backwards

Douglas better get the next decision very very right, or his relationship with the fans will forever be toxic.

It was clear something wasn't working but I'm far from certain Robins was the issue. Even if he was, who is there better out there who would want the job.

I really hope you're right about an appointment lined up otherwise this feels like totally the wrong time.

Well, well, well.

Huge decision. Stating the obvious, but the next appointment is huge. Get it right and they can build on the impressive foundations that Robins has instilled. Get it wrong and we’re back to 15k crowds in League One.

Shocked that it’s happened today, but something was definitely amiss last night.

I’m not sure. Initially agree but then it’s been the same all season and end of last season

Poor motivation last night after a good result against Luton and a win at the weekend, where in honesty we didn't look good for most of the second half. Equal points bottom 3.. football is ruthless ..Very important now we get the right person regardless of budget.
