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

We need a new guy in ASAP, (but it's got to be the right guy obviously) hopefully we'll all get behind him as we need to move on.
MR has gone, we loved what he did for us, but it's all change.

The only constant through all of this saga is the fan base. SBA.

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

I think Mark will be fine - he will have 3 years of his remaining contract paid in full and he will probably be in a new club by Christmas!

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.

clough was at his most succesful with taylor , it's a common theme all over football as managers often work with the same number 2

On a different note. Seemingly confirmed we have a lot of managers wanting to fill Marks Boots on the dugout.

Seems to support this post on Twitter. As such would love us to look a bit more closely at the Lincoln Manager noted or if he’s available or applied Ruben Selles.

Think both would be decent choices. Broken record with another league one manager but what a choice for the club, hopefully we will hear something before Sheffield.

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

I'm not sure what your point is here.

No one has accused Mark Robins of being dishonest

Quoted who? The club who read the forum and saw the understandable backlash and then wheeled him out for another interview instead? Yeah, really believable that one.

Some of you are far too persuadable.

Whoever that is, bang out of order. Not only sharing it with you or others, but suggesting two team mate 'didn't fancy it' and another 'claimed' concussion, and one 'bottled it' fk me who needs outsiders trying to beat us if we're doing this to ourselves? Proper snake behaviour and really should be called out.

I’ve seen a few comments about “people applied for the number 2 job but actually only wanted the top job” and “no elite coach/tactician applied for the number 2 job”

my interpretation was that people of course applied but nobody good enough to cover the gaps left by AV (tactics side if you want to call it that), not that people applied wanting the top job. Doug was merely saying people who ARE elite tacticians only want top jobs.

This is backed up by them trying to hire a “head of first team coach” getting nowhere and now we are replacing the manager with a “head coach”.

Or in Fergusons case changed them regularly to freshen things up but he still knew that had strengths he didn't

If it was a player, wouldn't it say "we have been told it's Lampard"?
