Because Lampard is Kings man and Robins wasn’t?Who were all his appointments... Why would Doug sanction the coaches Lampard brought in with him but not these ones if they were who Robins wanted all along. It does suggest it's Robins choices not the other way round
I think people are getting confused over language to be honest
Robin’s was manager not head coach, therefore King saying the coaching candidates wanted to be head coach I think means they wanted to be the clear number 2 ( head of coaching ) not part of a flat structure.

Yes but with the remainder of a 3.5 year deal in his bank account.Stoke is a graveyard for managers currently.
If he'd moved to a non-championship team, i'd want him to do well, but he's moved to a rival, so i hope he doesnt do well.
I suspect that, because it's Stoke, he'll be on his bike again inside a year.

This place (me) is going to go into meltdown if Stoke go on a run.
For my sanity, I hope he fails because I'll never be able to let it go.Adi isn't joining him, is he?
As much as it was a golden period for us, it was also for MR. It just clicked, whether either party will see anywhere near the success they had together, is unlikely.
It will be interesting to see if he's given time to develop a culture because I think that was one of the key reasons for his/our success.
I wonder if I can find a half and half scarf.

We grew together from rock bottom and the feeling of being hard done by, poor ownership and leaving our stadium only made the bond stronger. That will never be emulated unless he follows that journey again, which he won’t as I’m sure it was a nightmare at times.This place (me) is going to go into meltdown if Stoke go on a run.

A failed championship manager and a fitness coach?Really not the same level as the coaches Frank came in with.
King gave Robins and Adi long contracts and then they fell out. That’s when King started to loose faith in MR, he had backed him until then.Because Lampard is Kings man and Robins wasn’t?

I was told 2 weeks ago by a former director that the issue with Adi had been bubbling away for some time. He was described to me as a very talented coach but easy to fall out with, in fact he was nearly exited twice under Sísú but a combination of Robins, Boddy and the potential exit costs saved him.
When Adi and Robins fell our King wanted Adi to stay but Robins could not be persuaded to repair the relationship.
Robins wanted a flat structure and Austin and King were nervous because they felt Robins had worked best with strong proven coaches alongside him. There were discussions before and through pre season bút Robins was clear he knew the structure he wanted.
I am not saying it is true but this is what i was told.
Isn't this the exact opposite of what King said in in the forum? He said Robins decided on Delaney and Dempster specifically after not getting a number 2 right?
We'd be in the top 2 now if Robins and Adi had seen that Collins and Wilson were both shite and had a laugh about it over a bottle of wine.Particularly, the relationship with Ben Wilson was bad which explains why Collins went from first choice to 3rd choice when AV left and Wilson brought in from the cold.
Any idea if Nevin was Robins number 2 choice in the summer in pre season or if Nevin was only put forward after the season had started cause King told him current set up wasn't working?Nevin was who Robins wanted as his Number 2
Doug said no. There's a reason Delaney and Dempster were promoted, it saved money
Also it speaks volumes Robins hasn't tried to get any of the coaching set up 'he' put in place, even though 1 of them in Boateng is currently unemployed.
It's staring people in the face and they don't want to believe it
Doug was truthful with Robins saying he can't work with Adi anymore. Doug was truthful that he tried to work it out between them.
He wasn't truthful with the bullshit about the number 2 'not coming across his desk'. It did
Also, i was told before the Preston game on October 19th Doug wanted Lampard. As we're a few others
The second Adi went and Robins was last man standing from the old regime, Doug knew he was giving him the boot and putting in who he wanted
