Sake, I forgot to turn the radio off and I now have Bollywood music blasting out. Can feel my leg tapping along.

The job was advertised at head of first team coaching - perhaps they didn't think that it would be assistant manager

Fair point. Or maybe he was using to scout out a replacement without letting on to Robins?
I get the impression he’s not got a football fan background, and maybe is just thinking of names he’s heard, hence the Lampard links.

Wouldn't blame him.

He's had the most outrageous dogs abuse for the past few days.

I don't care who you are, you'd struggle with it.

Yeah felt for him a bit when he had the quiver. But thought he came through ok.

Heightened emotions, backed into a corner your voice and nerves can betray you. Buxton has a funny story about losing his rag with a train conductor and his voice going all wobbly

My conspiracy would be that somebody who applied, tickled their fancy.

His point about the calibre of people they interviewed for the no.2 position, but didn’t appoint as no one wanted to be a no.2 and wanted to be a no.1, why did they apply in the first place?
Click to expand...

That rang alarm bells with me. Not saying he was blatantly lying, but there's some rewriting of events going on here. Basically, I'm great, it was all Mark's fault.

I love this club, but i think going forward, any ‘ITK’S’ need to keep quiet, they are very much causing a lot of trouble at our club, as most of it appears as not true

That includes podcasts aswell.

A former employee told me Schumacher other day but players ready for Lampard and the fact king has changed his tune in past 10 mins from no contact with Lampard to admitting he has. I suspect that answers your question

Not really

common theme in all this.

the last 18 months we’ve seen everyone bar Dean austin leave from Lawrence to robins to boddy

all under king regime

just think about that. why is that? when they all worked fine before that

Then you have Austin next to him tonight (unsure why) and king said the fitness of the players is the best it’s been according to the data down to the performance director
Click to expand...

and if anyone wants context for that

all employees in the club are panicking now. coaches the lot

Austin probably didn’t want to attend tonihjt

the only person king praised was a person whose only been here 10 months

Yeah he said no contact between him and FL and then said he had applied for it but no contact.

Unless I am missing one?
