If this is true which I can't see him defaming people like this if not then some folk need to be very sorry about what the said about our performance dorector.

Sounds like they got Robins what he wanted most;y.

Yes, far too messy. Not sure any prospective managers/head coaches will be listening and keen on the job

He has very indirectly slagged off our new coaches.

I heard it more than they need someone to lead them. We know MR doesn't do the coaching. Maybe the coaches want a line manager that does coaching? Someone that can help them get better, do better.

Not sure there’s much to gain from going over stuff. Rightly or not it’s all pinned on Robins. Would like to hear more about the plans. That said I do like this question about older players.

This has so far been more interesting than half of our games this season.

Good first half!

It needs clarifying, why would someone interview for Assistant Manger then say they wanna be number 1?
Click to expand...

I don't think that's what he's saying.

He's saying they advertised/interviewed but the candidates weren't good enough.

I don't think they interviewed anyone who wanted to be number 1, those people just didn't apply.

That's how I took it anyway.

Sounded to me that we didn’t get the quality of candidate as the best candidates were put off by being number 2 ?

I probably would’ve paid £10 to listen if Robins was there as well.

Adi designed and planned every single training session. Adi was the guy who had to convince Robins to change formation when it wasn't working. We were always going to struggle when he left...

King

"We want a team that wins, if we find a player that will mesh it together and has no sell on value then no problem with me"
"We need to get quality players we can develop but we also know it's not as simple as that"
"We looked at and tried to sign players who had no sell on value in the summer"
"If the manager comes in and says they need a player to pivot, so be it"
"We are here to get out of the most difficult league"

Half hour in and whilst it’s been detailed there’s not been many questions

Almost like the concluding of a court case with the defence getting their summary in

Whatever your view on the situation, this is a tarnishing of Robins legacy.

The stuff with Adi doesn’t ring true with anything we’ve heard from ITKs and if correct why the shitty statement when he left and why is Adi only talking through lawyers.

Not passing the smell test for me.

Robins and Adi were very close for a long time
They are two very strong characters and eventually didn't see eye to eye on several matters
Only one winner in that situation

Needs to wind his neck in. But a fair amount of what he is saying coaching wise etc is all there to read and see from Robins.

Kings on defence mode but this needs leaving alone now.
