Interesting your not calling out some of the stupid childish shit aimed at the pro Robins camp.

"pro robins camp" is childish enough.

Think there's one person on here who said they "back King" after hearing it. (which both me and you questioned)

He’s sacked one of the most popular managers we’ve ever had.

If that isn’t taking ownership then I don’t know what is

Doug has done the best he could tonight and props to him for not shying away. I still think it's the wrong decision and I'm gutted that MR is gone. I don't believe that we couldn't have got a good 2nd in, whether we could recapture the magic of MR and AV is to be seen.

I'm still in shock and feeling empty, MR will always be the legend. I'm normally level headed but the last few days have been anything but.

It's an emotional time and I'm going to stop being so negative as it doesn't help anyone.

Your information contradicts other ITK tidbits here and one of the sources is incorrect. There’s a thread called ‘.’ (Edited by OP) where the insinuation is that this was forced on Robins. Someone’s ITK source is incorrect so I trust your info 50%.

There’s information wars at the club and there are sources have certain biased spins that they’re telling people like yourself.

Likewise, some ‘ITK’ info I’ve been privy to AV is probably wrong too. Based on Doug King’s comments earlier, MR didn’t want to work with AV there’s no insinuation that he was sacked for gross misconduct.

Maybe it was true but from MR’s POV’s rather than the club as a whole and the sources version of events is tilted towards certain characters at the clubs.

With regard to the Chris Ramsey episode, I’d be 100% confident that US is bang on the money.

I am aware of that, however the way it’s been done has left a big stinking mess. And even though I do like his approach and it was a great listen, I think it was naive at best to be going on like that.

I'm very uncomfortable with how easy it was for him to throw robins under the bus whilst singing his praises several times later on , that is odd behaviour to say the least .

But whatever it is what it is

Surely he acted on the clubs issues by sacking the manager, there's no bigger call than that.

The idea that King will say something libelous about Robins when he's got absolutely no need to at all is just laughable.

Now it’s all done and dusted I thought Doug came across well, you could tell from his voice that he was nervous or emotionally invested in this. I don’t mind that from an owner, given we had so long with SISU.

I think Mark Robins will eventually put his side across, but can’t see why Doug would come out and lie with the things he’s said tonight.

I think whether you believed in Robins’ time being up or not it’s time we all draw a line under this and move on.

Managers, players, owners they all come and go, Coventry City is forever and we need to get behind the new Head Coach in charge. Mark Robins will always be a legend and has given us memories for a lifetime, but time to look forward.

Because I think ultimately, prior to Thursday, many people think Doug has done a decent job. There's a handful of very loud noises from a few faces on twitter who have stirred the pot with him.

The majority he said tonight is similar to previous. He's been popular in the press with journalists too.

Tonight people have listened and have returned to previous views.

Anyway, it's shit Robins was sack and I thought he deserved more time but it's done so we have to move on.

The talk of being after someone to modernise and update our tactics is interesting and is probably the best way ahead

Why did they waste 30 minutes on talking about loan players rather than pressing more on Mark and the plan for the future?

Surely if they had shortlists of people who wanted to be head coach and not number 2 then DK has to be accountable for that as it was advertised and clear that it was a number 2 So why interview them or create that list?
