yep

if you’re a manager you’d probably be thinking twice about getting involved seeing the owner royally throw the previous incumbent under a bus, even after doing well previously.

He said he didn’t want to tell Robins what to do which is fair enough.

Yeah and then hammered it home. Of course they’re not there ffs and just reduces it to seeming like tittle tattle.

The Sky Blues Fancast Live - Fans Forum with Coventry City owner Doug King - BBC Sounds

Rob Gurney, Clive Eakin and Lorna Bailey host a live Fans Forum with Doug King.

It's a shame breaking the coaching set up.

Bit weird giving Rob Gurney a clap. That would have been far more productive with a single, professional interviewer picking apart answers. Obviously accept that it was a fans' forum, of course.

There will be a Gurney/Eakin stand off like Adi and Mark before this season is over. They clearly can’t stand each other .
Maybe Gurney will have a massive swearathon again.

It was brutal honesty.

Definitely worth listening to at least the first half

Probably hasn't helped us in some ways, but considering the abuse King has received I can see why he wanted to set the record straight on certain points (Adi's dismissal, coaching structure, performance director etc.)

It is all true, can you pick out which parts of my statement aren’t true please?

no manager
No assistant manager
No manager in sight
Coaches that the owner just basically said are crap
Divisions in the fanbase
The owner chucking the previous manager under a bus

which of those are untrue? I’ll wait

There was one part where a Doug King became a bit emotional for sure.
My main take outs are that at last we know it was Mark Robins who told Doug King he could no longer work with Adi Viveash and also the confirmation that Mark Robins had the final say on players signed.
The other thing I think he implied was that the people interviewed previously for head coach role didn't want to work alongside Mark Robins.

Coincidence that he’s become DK and the word of the night is ‘Deck’? Is he having more of an influence that we realised

sued for what? Unless someone has it in black and white that the other did something, nobody is getting sued for anything.

Doug said he's aiming to appoint a manager before the next game so half of those will be solved at that point. Calm down dear.

You aren't as clever as you think, I said you are trying to catastrophize shit as the worst after the past 10 or so years we have had.

I could say "today is Monday, it's the end of the world"

Doesn't mean today isn't Monday.

We've only heard one side so you have to take things with a pinch of salt.

Things will be a lot more nuanced, I would imagine.

King will naturally paint things from his own perspective.

To be fair, he said as a number 2. He wasn't saying it was Robins putting them off.

CWR saying they’ll try and get Robins to reply in next few days.

He’ll probably blame it all on Viveash
