Robins has worked with Fisher day to day, I don't like Fisher but Robins obviously knows him far better than you or I.

Not live...

"I know the club, I know the owner, I know TF. They're good people"

A lot of money been spent, not in the right direction. No trust.

I want to get back to winning games. Fans were great. When I got the call on Sunday, I said we need to do this right, do this properly'

JW: You say important people are good, fans don't think this is right. MR: Dodges, talks about building from the ground up.

Got to galvanise everyone. Got to stop, put the wood in the door and start to build a football club.

Got to be change, need revenue streams, need to invest in team. Got to galavanise these players and get as many results between now and end of season.

JW: You're talking on more than a managers job. MR: I'm here to build a football club. Things aren't as good as they were, we might be at rock bottom, we need to put things in place that aren't here, like scouting. That's got to be done first so we can get recruitment right.

JW: Are you done, MR: Gotta be realistic. We will give it a go but gotta be realistic.

Did sound as if Robins will have a huge say on things on and off the pitch, as if he wants to be a connection from the club with the fans

I can only assume it's not in place, new manager and team come in. Put it in place. Then get sacked and it all goes with them.

Talking afterwards, talking about his positivity.

Michael Gray: He needs to work a minor miracle. He's got that fire in his belly but needs to get it in the players. It's a massive club.

JW: Owners are the people the fans want out.

Henry Winter: He needs to be Henry Kissinger as well as Sir Alex Ferguson. What we want is the FA to govern...to look into clubs like Cov, Blackburn, Charlton etc. The FA and EFL need to look into this...owners need to be called to account. We don't know much about these owners...why aren't SISU acknowledging that they're the issue. Why aren't the bodies taking notice.

JW: We will continue to put the pressure on SISU.

Never understand that.

How hard is it to make a bloody database to keep things in? I'll make them one for free! Staff can use it while at the club, when they leave they dont have access to it.

New person comes in, they can see a full history.

That's Pressley, Mowbray and now Robins who have said the club has no infrastructure. Why? I thought Venus was putting that in place? I hope Venus is told to get on his bike

Confusing why it seems that everytime a new manager comes in he mentions the need to rebuild the scouting network.

By saying the scouting network isn't in place, does that just mean Tim hasn't installed the latest Football Manager on the manager's office PC? Are we still working on Football Manager 03/04? Was that the reason why Slade signed Yakubu? Did he also try to bring in Cherno Samba?

No, not that we heard anyway and I doubt it. It was pre-recorded from this morning.

Interesting that he spoke to Talksport before other media. Same with TF...it's like they've become our official media outlet now.

Also interesting that he said TF is a good bloke. The whole situation just confuses me more and more....what good is he delivering to the club that encourages Robins to say things like that?!

There will always be that, but you make the system so they can't delete records. If a scout has been sent to a game then they would need to update it with findings etc.

It's the same with any work system isn't it?

Have a database in place, now if Robins comes in he can see who Slade / Mowbray looked at and their notes / thoughts about the player.

I'm getting bored of every new manager going on about the scouting.

Isn't this shit Venus job as technical director? If Venus has been here for nearly two years and this shit isn't done he should be binned off the useless oaf. Venus was brought in specifically to deal with recruitment and scouting

Assuming you want to stay in post you can't call the boss a knob even if you think he is.

Agreed but he could've swerved it. He would surely know the feeling towards TF.

It's a bit of a worry on the Fisher and Seppala being good people quip. Think the judges might have something to say on Seppala on that one.

Trouble is bridges have been burned. MR might well want everyone to pull together, but pretty much every fan wants Sisu out.

Going to be a big conflict I feel. As fans I think on the whole we have always backed the managers here, at first at least anyway, but that positive statement about the owners is not going to go down at all well with the fanbase.

Not a good start I don't think to wanting to get the fans on his side.

Fisher is the one swerving, he should have faced Jim White if seppala won't.
