When he realised he could swindle a job probably like everyone else.

See I’m actually open to a left field choice such as Bloomfield and Sheehan. I’m basing this on the research has been done and they’re tactically astute. Robbie Keane I’ve kept tabs on and would take him

some as you suggest are an absolute bag of wank

Bloomfield is like EMC: uninspiring then 18 decent month in L1. Sheehan is completely untested. Keane has managed in a pub league so also basically untested.

Keane doesn't seem to stay anywhere very long, not always his fault but for that reason it's a no from me.

3 games at ATK
12 months as assistant at Middlesbrough
1 month as assistant at Leeds
12 months management at Maccabi Tel Aviv

He has remained an assistant coach at Ireland for about 18 months

I don’t really know who I want. Let’s face it every manager linked is gonna have positives and negatives as we are not the sort of club that’s gonna get an anorim where everything they’ve touched has turned to gold.

Your gonna get linked with coaches that have top coaching badges but are completely untested at this level which can go one of two or ways. Or you go for more of a bigger name that’s got experience and more likely to bring in players of a higher stature but who too are likely to have had unsuccessful spells at clubs.

I think that’s why this is so decisive when it’s difficult to pick out who can be better than robins. This will be make or break for Doug but we’ve just gotta back whoever comes in and hope for the best.

We have.

Just get the feeling we are now going to go through a number of managers before we get one that's good enough.

Yeah I spoke to someone who is family of a ex member of playing staff. They were very happy robins was gone and said what a awful person he was etc. just cos disgruntled on behalf of the family member who's career didn't quite work out under robins

Yup.

I honestly believed we weren't going to be in any relegation battle this season, but if we do start going through a succession of managers, I think it is a lot more likely.

I can see honeymoon period, followed by failure.

Would love to be proved wrong. It's just what we have had before. A succession of appointments and firings

You have been fairly blinkered in your assertion we’d be ok this season based on nothing - certainly not performances abd results.

Carsley has some weight I think.

No annoncement yet, as he has a final England U21 fixture to play next weekend. Tuchal taking over in Jan, and may want his own man managing the U21s.

Local to the area (or at least used to be), ex-player, highly rated coach, and probably wants a crack at club management. If it was to be him, I am sure it's been agreed already. His swerving of the question yesterday, suggests he's interested, or already got the job.

If King has pullled the trigger with no clue on the replacement then it just makes the decision even worse.

Carsley played down the links in the press already.

Odds on us appointing someone and then sacking him before the end of the season?

I said I’m open to this. I’m more interested in whether they’re tactically astute.

I don’t want your run of the mill managers - Michael Beale for instance.

obviously the proof is in the pudding someone has to come in a hit the ground running. If they don’t it’ll be toxic, Keane has that urban legend aura around him with us so will get more time as such

We shouldn’t be putting ourselves in that position Otis, consistently starting every season poorly.

Only so many times will things start to click after a certain period or things change that help change the tide.

I agree. The poor starts have really hurt us and we really looked like we would come flying out of the blocks this time round.

It is very frustrating for sure.

Pre season was really positive, a lot of people were gushing after the Everton game.

I don’t believe that there would have been a solution this time in any case unfortunately, I guess we will never know now.

Agreed I think the difference this year was there wasn’t a great sign of performances improving unlike previous years. Previous seasons they kind of hit form and off they went. This season every time we’ve got a result we’ve stumbled again and put on a performance where the players just haven’t looked at it. You knew on weds within 10 mins we looked in trouble just not up for it. That’s been the worrying thing.

Signings have been poor.

If you are king and he’s looking at the signings made and many aren’t even selected what’s he supposed to think?

It was really baffling that after two fabulous wins, we suddenly couldn't even string two passes together and seemed very flat

Was expecting us to come out buzzing
