Great to get an experienced leader to bring together a struggling team:

Great. A beige, data driven coach. No personality, everything based on statistics.

No managerial experience, just what we need for a relegation battle.

Who else apart from Boateng would we give it to?

He'll only be with us for a game or two. Not a big deal.

Big pressure on him Saturday though.

So many on here are always quoting stats for this, that and possibly the other. There used to be a stat showing the more you got the ball in the opponents half / penalty area the more likely you were to score goals. Hence Graham Taylor / Adie Boothroyd‘s teams playing style.

We should all ta’e comfort that we will win the possession (70% v Derby) and other stats as we wink in to the murk.

Out of interest, did he act7all play the game at any reasonable level? Or at all?

I know, it's shocking we have done what everyone else does and given the temp job to someone already at the club.

Oh great, I’m sure his iPad will give him all the data he needs to motivate this gaggle of wet-nosed brats into performing consistently for their high incomes.

This is not going to end well for CCFC, this is just the beginning.

If I've got some coaches on the books I'd be more inclined to give it to one who has played the game professionally including captaining premier league teams for years

Probably irrelevant but I'm suprised it is not Boateng as he was interim head coach of Ghana when Hughton was sacked

I know, it's not going to be for long. Just everyone's frustrations this morning after the announcement

However for me Boatang in the interim would be better seeing as he has experience of playing the game and being a leader/captain

The permanent appointment needs to be the right one or else we could be back to the days of 2013 where fans were divided and people lose interest again

I think if our home form continued people were in danger of losing interest anyway. That's the problem, you need to keep crowds coming in and its a decision King had to make.

What else? To me, they should already have an appointment lined up.

Robins was a great manager. We were on relegation form. A couple of wins on the bounce was encouraging but the players let us down despite Derby doing a pretty good job of making us look worse than them.

Mark must have had 25 games now not sure the stats but there is a lot riding on the next 2 or 3 seasons. Robins sounded so down yesterday.

Luton manager went the same way/ interviewed just like MR after a bad result against us. I hope MR gets what he needs in life. If that is in football then great. but his legacy remains.

Ref who’s interim. Not directly related to you.
Maybe the others stepped back? Or they proved that they are not management material.

you sent me down a rabbit hole.
top managers who never played football
