Here's one; the stated plan was to be in the playoff mix three times in 5 years.

Yr 1, goal met, yr2 'in the mix' and only distracted by the fa cup semi final success.

So why has he now changed the plan when MR was seemingly achieving it??

No need to overthink it, I would probably just tell them it’s “Pete”

Some questions I'd actually like King to answer, although if he does we'll obviously get bland business speak

1) Given the outpouring of anger, disgust and disappointment at his sacking of Robins does he acknowledge that firing Mark Robins is very much against the vast majority of fans wishes.

2) Since taking over he has overseen major changes to the coaching structure, does he feel these changes have in any way contributed given that prior to this we had year on year improvements for several consecutive seasons under Robins.

3) Following on from question 2 what reassurances can he give supporters that he will make the 'right' appointment given that many fans feel the appointments on the playing side since he took over have been failures.

4) Not really a question but I feel it should be made clear to King how woefully inadequate the statement on the website is given everything Robins has done for the club.

What’s the criteria for our new manager? Playing style/philosophy etc.

What’s the realistic target for the rest of the season given our start?

Why was Matty James not allowed to sign when by all accounts, the manager and player were happy and the experience would've helped?

That’s true maybe best to ask open ended questions and hope DK rambles and slips up.

What is the hiring criteria for the new manager? Is it a statistical analysis of style of play and outcomes, Championship promotion credentials, or who interviews best?

Oh Is it not open? Shame as would have gone. If anyone does please ask him what the budget is wage and then how the expectation can be 1-6 without a 1-6 wage budget

The change in structure of the football club does not include a Director of Football

Why not, when yourself (Doug King) have public stated you have little to no interest or knowledge about football and therefore making footballing decisions (e.g. appointing coaches, transfers) and above all else making a decision to sack Mark Robins which 90%+ of the fans disagree with?

It's not, we were suffering with poor form when he was here and if he was committing gross misconduct then he should rightly have been sacked

Not appointing a replacement Assistant Manager however...

I would like to ask what his thought process was in sacking the manager, how long its been on the cards for and when he decided to 'pull the trigger'.

Are you going to sack every manager the minute they have a bad run?

Who makes the decision on which players we buy?

Why did you allow Palmer, our only creative midfielder to leave on transfer deadline day, without having an adequate replacement?

Why have you refused to explore the loan market?

Is there any truth in the rumour that Simms isn't injured, but is refusing to play?

Why did AV really get sacked?
