Not sure I agree, physical sure but feel there a quite a few in the midfield who could play nice one touches.

Also Robins thrives on using width and then hitting balls into the six yard box, look at the striker in comings since Vik, all decently tall apart from maybe BTA. Genuinely think Luton would be a good fit.

Mark did get us to FA Cup final, its just that we were not allowed to take part for commercial reasons.
A referee has told me what they did.

Good luck Mark as poster rightly said in whatever you choose to do.

as has been said if they wanted us out "for commercial reasons" they VAT off the pen which wasn't a stonewaller

I totally agree with you for what it’s worth. They are an extremely direct team, like some of our best seasons have been

Well your opinion isn’t fact.

you are the most argumentative poster on this forum. He said it was his opinion, yet because you don’t agree you get abusive.

If the same happened to you, you plead innocence and cry to the admin’s

To believe this though you’d have to buy that the VAR team were told not to let us win but for some bizarre reason the message wasn’t given to the referee on field.

Not saying you believe it of course, just find all the conspiratorial nonsense surrounding that game incredibly embarrassing. We were the victims of an incredibly tight offside call, it happens.

It was done by morons drawing lines with paint and a margin of error bigger than any offside if there was one.

Still don’t buy the conspiracy just pointing out that the on field officials have no say in offside but do for penalties and red cards.

Eh don’t worry about it mate. Find it quite fun to be honest how different people’s thoughts and views are.

Ultimately he’s fair to believe that a team which have been coached to be direct for years can only be direct, but I think a lot of the players have been at more progressive teams like Chong or Walsh and think they could get more out of them.

Let’s humour you for a second. The goal is chalked off for “reasons”

there was a penalty shoot out which could go either way. Casemiro missed the first pen - why didn’t he get to retake it?

Are you suggesting we’d have had penalties chalked off just in case?

Hull are too much of a circus for them to go for a sensible pick like Robins

unpopular opinion - i dont think Robins has many offers in the short term unless its from L1, see what manager merry go round happens in the new year i suppose

I’d say it means “I’m about to get a really big cheque from Doug King, I’ve got myself a great reputation and other jobs will come along probably better than this one, so I’m not coming to you, why don’t you show me how much you want me and then we’ll talk”

Given the source it's probably bullshit but it's not out of the realms of possibility. Actively applying for other jobs would usually break the terms of a settlement agreement & thus reduce compensation from us.

Usually, settlement agreements don't prevent someone from applying for a new job. It would need to stipulate if that was the case.

Yeah absolutely but it's certainly not unusual for football. It's why you often don't see managers jumping straight into other jobs as they're instead happy to be paid off by the previous employer.

Highly unlikely.

really intrigued how MR goes at next job.

you know what, wouldn’t rule out a return further down line either. Clearly when king sells.

Could be a similar situation to Clough and Taylor, right?

I'm sceptical of a lot of what King comes out with but I'd be amazed if he's lied about this.

Quite an interesting video about the situation at Hull City (decent channel in general tbf).
Didn't realise it was so chaotic, and sounds like would just be a battle with the deranged owner if Mark Robins took the job

Does it? I’d be shocked if he joins anywhere higher than a mid table championship club. Hull were in/near the playoffs not too long ago
