Just put that Cov Pod on, that Gabriel Sutton is fucking annoying. Up there with Thogden. Just tries to get on everything and anything and doesn't really know.
Old mrs or new one?
I thought it was common knowledge that Adi had split from his wife and then started going out with someone else?
A management team together for over 6 seasons or an owner in charge for just over 6 months ?
That wouldn't have stayed secret. Imagine the fan reaction if it came out that he was plotting to get rid of the man who saved Coventry City?
Agree with a lot of this. We don’t know the truth about who is to blame. Could be King, could be Robins, could be Viveash.
But it’s definitely Andy Turner.
The whole narrative was that Viveash was the real number one all along and Robins was inferior
It puts to bed the belief that King had set Robins up to fail/wanted to force change.
It sounds as though Robins went to King and said I don't like Adi anymore so get rid of him.
If that's the case I can understand why solicitors are involved
Doug destroyed and praised robins .
It's all very odd and also all very unproffesional
Fair point, but he wasn’t actually that good after all according to some on here.
Can't reply due to the ads @Mild-Mannered Janitor but it was common knowledge he'd long split up and was with the tea lady at Ryton bit this was a different indiscretion.
Yeah he said Viveash was the tactician, he said that Robins "got found out"
Maybe we reached out to them? Didn't fancy a proper backseat role.
I'd imagine there is more to this than we will ever know.
Is it odd to praise him for what he's done for the club but say he was found out at this level or whatever his words were?
Well the fact solicitors are involved would suggest something much more sinister is at play .. not a simple fall out over a media quote
He didn't say that though , he blamed robins for everything that went wrong and then reffered to him as a brilliant manager
open your eyes to it
lawernce was not offered a new contract but adi and robins were at the time
Lawerence left because of this. Incidentally interesting king said after the wolves game all wasn’t the same but no direct mention of Lawrence
in the summer the club were told while vivesh is there, some players won’t sign because of his methods and character
robins (imo) was pushed into a corner and saved his back by staying with the club while Adi was sacked
robins ignored adi all summer (imo because he felt guilty that he betrayed adi in some way)
for king to say robins dismantled the coaching setting up is misleading
again from tonight that king kept saying first team coach not assistant. So in theory king was the one pushing for that specific role not robins.
we all know that Ramsey was lined up and this was stopped by king.
king chose his words very wisely tonight but to suggest they (robins and adi) fell out over an article is bizarre
I don't think it does, probably just meant there was some disagreement on the settlement of the contract?
I don’t think Robins will respond - he does not need to . He is held in high esteem across the football world and the last thing he needs is a legal wrangle
did I say strike?
I said sheaf was on the team sheet Friday night. Sheaf woke up Saturday morning and said he didn’t want to play
I never mentioned the word strike
Exactly, you've got to admit he has some balls coming out saying that, normally, it's just I can't say.
He blamed Robins for the coaching setup that's there, Robins was quoted as saying the same.
didn't expect him to be that open so fair play.
Not taking it as gospel though
