By the way on names, Russell Martin was picked up from MK dons. Haven’t done that bad has he?

Errr?

He’s done the bare minimum to keep him in a job (for now) at Southampton. Not a great example.

What a weird thing to say, that’s just rubbish

It’s not even about the football- let’s be honest, under Robins we weren’t exactly playing total football. Winning is what gets the fans and the media interested. We need to get the guy who gets us winning, not the guy who will attract the most TV crews around the dugout before kickoff.

it’s not gonna be him, that’s fine- I guess I’m just surprised how people have now decided that we need the biggest name possible as opposed to the best man for the job. It’s embarrassing really.

You’ve totally missed my point and it’s not surprising as you usually get total tunnel vision when arguing with people and that’s often why you are mocked on here

Got a team promoted, isn’t that the whole goal of where we want to be?

you don’t have a point apart from Lampard would be better because in your judgement it would attract more people.

Take a look at the respective league tables and try that again.

just own it- he’s not a big enough name for you.
Click to expand...
Take the names out of it.

One manager linked has a championship playoff appearance, top 4 prem finish and champions league experience on his CV.

The other has won the national league and finished 3rd in league two. And won the EFL trophy.

Regardless of names can’t you see one is more exciting than the other?

I never said Lampard would be better. Infact I’d rather Evatt than Lampard.

you make up arguments that the other person hasn’t said. You really are odd.

Points fair and if both would do exactly the same on the pitch, then Lampard would give the club more publicity but managers aren’t a 1 for 1.

Just think Evatt would be a better fit over the two and in the long run would give the club more stability

I'm surprised so many are overlooking his record tbh

Either way , it's not going to be evatt so there's little point debating it
Click to expand...

He looks to be suffering this season with cheap goals being conceded, which naturally if you are trying to implement an almost ‘tiki taka’ style in L1 will be used as a stick to beat him with.

Their XG Against is 14.9 and they’ve conceded 24 goals. It’s a bit of misfortune. Wouldn’t be my pick but he’s not exactly hopeless.

With far more resources than we have here.

Autos would’ve been impressive. He missed out and would almost certainly have been sacked if they failed to win the playoffs.

Depends on the person.

Not generally sure due to the dread Lampard seems to give some people (completely unfair for me). But I get your point, just for me it’s Evatt.

I don’t care about being excited at the name, I think that’s ridiculous, I want the best man for the job.

Fair enough, but the point I’m making is that there are gems to be had in the lower leagues.

While I have very mixed feelings on him, Rob Edward’s was at Forest green the year before he got Luton to the prem.

And are you saying they had a poor squad?

Anyway what can you do. To me it’s pretty poor that we’ve apparently decided an exciting name is more important than getting the right man, modern football though I suppose.

See this is the problem, people are told things then just make stuff up, I’ve never claimed to be in the know, I said word for word what robins told us, I think it’s safe to say he didn’t know he was getting the sack just after we’d beat Luton its up to you if you believe it or not, doesn’t really bother me,

Was thinking that when I saw the post. Robins wouldn’t know he was getting sacked, and based on the player reactions doesn’t seem like it was on anyone’s mind but Doug.

On that Doug even said it was a shot in the arm to try and get everyone moving. ITKs can’t get everything right as shit that was suddenly changes. Quinn if you could say Ian Evatt was the new manager, I’d be very happy.

Won’t lie but the fact he’s from Cov is a cherry on top for me.

50% over three years winning rate is immense. Almost got them from league two to the championship if the play off went better for them.

To be honest the big interest is how full on the identity of football is that he played tika taka esc football in the national league and got a team promoted with no where near the high budget that others teams had.

Think the next coach needs to install a playing identity that we can train throughout the club and think he could do this

Well if there's any truth in the rumours that Robins had an assistant lined up around the October international break and then the plug was pulled he would have had an idea that the writing was on the wall.

Would also explain his out of character behaviour after the Preston game around that time, he must have felt under more pressure than usual.
