Mark Robbings?I hope we appoint someone who's name we can't pronounce.
Adi Vinesh?Mark Robbings?
I'm impressed already. Is he the Inter Linguine manager?Frankocini Lampardorosolic
Well done on coming out of the closet.I can't go I'd rip him a new arsehole
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?
MexicanWhich border plants do you recommend?
Not exactly but I do think King has been too involved with footballing decisions for someone that has said themselves they aren't competent. I would actually be pleased if he came out and said 'I don't know a thing about football but I know a person who does and they will make decisions working with Robins, in the meantime I am committed to this and will learn as I go'Do you really believe it's been king taking it on himself to scout players and the recruitment of the coaches? Robins is quoted saying he planned how the coaches would work.
I'm guessing anything bad was king and anything good it was robins.
Just maybe robins had run out of ideas? It happens.
FameWhat are his motivations for owning this football club when he himself has confessed he’s not much of a football fan?
I hope we appoint someone who's name we can't pronounce.
I wouldn’t be shocked if there were clauses that reduced the payout.Will the compensation for the dismissals of Robins and Viveash come from the club's own generated income or elsewhere?
And is it true that there was another player that MR wanted who DK vetoed too? Did this lead to a major disagreement between DK and MR and did this also involve AV?Why was Matty James not allowed to sign when by all accounts, the manager and player were happy and the experience would've helped?
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.
Don’t sacked managers get the remainder of their contract paid up?
Cheers Doug1) The fans have a short term mentality. Fans want success. The next appointment is on the new owner and will clearly be under pressure but if he succeeds fans wishes will be realised.
2) Whatever we think the previous structure was archaic and suited to L2. Sisu never upgraded the clubs structure and training facilities. The questions suggest we want the Sisu model of operation back.
3) There are never any reassurances but there is accountability. The accountability of the signings made are on the manager who has been dismissed.
4) It is but given that the most successful manager in my lifetime was sacked when in hospital and only knew of it on the radio - no one even bothered to tell him.
Yea,ask him how soon he can fook off.Me and another member of the forum can go it’s at the cbs
I need to give a name by tomorrow morning
Anyone interested?
Any questions you’d like me to put to Doug
because that is how modern football clubs work, most big clubs have coaches not managersif you are now after a head coach as opposed to a manager, assuming the only real difference is "say in transfer market dealings" why do you not want the "head coach" to have this input any more?
If that's not the case, what do you see as the difference between a head coach and a manager?
Stupid comment. What are you on?He will get lynched if he turns up.
Have you not read this forum. Didn’t AV try to undermine MR?Most important question I think is whose decision was it for Vivash to leave.
That isn't the reason though is it? You can't say "we should do this because that's modern football" - what's the real reason?because that is how modern football clubs work, most big clubs have coaches not managers
I’d add, What would you do if you had kept MR and the performances took us to relegation?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?
The audience will be cherry picked , most fans would pull him apart with awkward questions about football and make him look stupidEven if he did turn up, he’d probably get applauded into the room by a load of two faced, lanyard wearing suck ups.
Yea,ask him how soon he can fook off.
