If he’d simply said results and performances then you could argue about timing but not that they’ve been poor. He went straight in on something that pins it on the man himself.

Extremely bold if it isn’t true.

Because there's been a parting of a long term relationship, and it's cost him a fucking fortune!

Well done for avoiding the point.

I have given you praise previously for getting things right, but you do come out with bollocks sometimes and it's always negative.
Click to expand...

avoiding what point? The team was announced on Friday. Sheaf was starting and I was told dovin wasnt

then I was told Saturday morning sheaf told the team he couldn’t play

How is that negative. If people wanted to perceive that then so be it

the players were shocked sheaf didn’t play and surprised he didn’t do media duties either on Friday as he was asked to

and they know they are at risk (as I said further up) a player has admitted coaching staff are inexperienced and worried about their futures

I don’t rate Delaney and if robins chose to promote him then he was wrong ro do so. our youth set up has been shocking since he joined

Tbf I watched him on the sideline at the AV game in the Birmingham Senior Cup SF. Could tell he had something about him, I'm not saying he won't be a cheap easy scapegoat if the new guy wants to bring own staff in, but we were only undone by the kid they signed from Rangers for £500k and they're a cat 1 academy.

I don’t think King lied about anything - what I will say it will be Kings interpretation of it.

If king was giving robins everything he wanted to succeed, why wouldn’t Robins go out and get a number 2.

also if Vivaesh was the tactician, and sorted training out, what the fuck did Robins do?

I agree with @clint van damme on this one (think it was Clint) this whole thing is going to cause an unnecessary fracture in the fanbase that really
Isn’t needed

Opinions on how something played out, voiced by only one side are always going to challenged by the other. Doesn't make them definitively true or definitely false.. just one side of the story. But I will say it would be massively stupid of Doug to come out and say that stuff if he wasn't confident it's correct. Nobody expected him to be so candid so why would he lie if he didn't need to? He easily could have just said nothing

I mean, what makes you think that part isn't true?

Robins can still ask for Viveash to be removed due to the players.

Here’s the thing that struck me. DK was at pains to say once Viveash went we missed an elite tactician. If Viveash was the tactician and Lawrence was the coach and Austin was the scout what was Robins doing. And if that was true why didn’t DK let Robins go rather than Viveash??

To be fair to Doug King very few Club owners would take the time to speak to a group of supporters and allow it to be aired live on local radio.

TBH what the fcuk has she done wrong to get abuse.. social media is a toxic shit pit at times. Bet she’s feeling really motivated seeing some of comments on message boards since she was recruited. Also shows as we suspect the club does read what’s being said.

Anyone else just tired of it all ? I am worn out can’t be bothered with any theory’s - poor old MR has gone - I do hope that he is like ok as I think he got cornered a bit with the situation - if it was his making or not - his mental health is important and if he heard that tonight he won’t be feeling any better . I just want a new manager in and we get back on track - happy for the memories with MR for me the L2 promotion was fabulous and my favorite moment with MR

There wasn't anything else he could say though that would unite the fanbase.

he woke up Saturday morning and said he didn’t wanna play. Didn’t say he was on strike

Sheaf was asked to do the media duties Friday and refused hence why Bidwell came in
Click to expand...

I mean that last bit is bullshit aswell. CWR quoted saying the reason why Bidwell did the pre match interview was because Sheaf was due in Ryton later on as they were travelling up to Sunderland…. Keep digging that hole

You should really Google what the word ‘refused’ means…

There was a good question on the badly-timed “voice notes” section that went unanswered- “None of the players have reacted to MR’s departure, have they been told to do that?”

Sorry, but there's things he said that just don't stack up.
I'm not sure you can call his stuff about what went on with the assistant misinterpretation.

Though as I've said, I'm sure Roibins and Viveashs accounts would also throw up some anomalies.

As for your point about Viveash, read up about the likes of Clough and Ferguson, neither were strong in those areas.

Not always a reflection on the coach though. It's about getting the maximum out of what you have, if they're not good enough it doesn't matter who coaches them. Realistically who have we brought through bar Wilson and Maddison - who have both gone onto England? You could argue, Bigi, Thomas, Shipley, Bayliss etc but easier to break in L1 &L2, huge step to the champ and only Eccles has bridged it so far. Hopefully others could still follow yet, but time will tell and it is a big step up. Don't also forget the most promising have been taken by Man City and United among others.

Truth ?
Not being difficult but for the past 7 seasons we've had one of the most forthright managers in the game
An hour's sessions dissuades you otherwise?
