Also , last season was a good season on the whole , saying Robins couldn't manage a decent budget I'd wager that without that cup run we make the playoffs again last year .. but we finished 9th and got to a cup semi final , we were playing so many games in the end it fuxked usI'm just putting 2 and 2 together.
Maybe coming up with 5, but this team, barring 1 or 2 exceptions, were in great form for a decent period of time.
If it all went to shit because the coaches left and the manager lost it then with the new set up there shouldn't be any need for rebuilds, it should just be a xase of getting them purring again.
I haven't said this - I've been consistent throughout. Robins was a big Austin fan also and backed his recommendations from all the information I've read. This is a major additional factor which I've always emphasisedI'm just putting 2 and 2 together.

Austin is still here btw and doug will be backing his recommendations in January no doubt
Robins trusted his judgement and the judgement of several other scouts who were putting players forward based off stat driven data that will be EXACTLY the same still going forward with frank lampard , what's the thing you're struggling with ?Robins totally trusted his judgement though and appointed him?
Good old doug , could have paid cal his worth though , might have been a good thing to do looking backDoug re invested the vik and hamer sales he could have pocketed it and let us sign freebies. Sacking Robins and hiring Lampard won't have been cheap either.

David Thompson.The show on cwr had David Burrows on I think bigging up Frank and then revealed he'd just done masters in dof, when the told him a post was going here he asked to put his name forward!
How do you know ? May have been part of the agreement with Lampard that someone else comes in .Answered this about 6 million times

Well if somebody else comes in then sure , it won't be DeanHow do you know ? May have been part of the agreement with Lampard that someone else comes in .
It's the summer arrivals that concern me most . Complete lack of squad requirements which Robins approvedI'm not aiming these comments purely at you but at those who thought Robins should go.
Again, if the problem is recruitment and the players aren't a 'top 6 deck' how did Robins and Co have them playing so well for a large chunk of the season?
I know I keep making circular arguments but I think the point I'm trying to make is no matter what people try to pin our recent woes on there's evidence to the contrary.
Not necessarily. Maybe the replacement that Lampard wants won't be available for a while . That's the point we don't know.Well if somebody else comes in then sure , it won't be Dean
Wouldn't he already be gone ?
I'd be very surprised if Dean Austin isn't here in 3 weeks when the window opensNot necessarily. Maybe the replacement that Lampard wants won't be available for a while . That's the point we don't know.

We changed the whole demographic of the squad, I'm not sure that's down to Robins.
May still be here but how much influence he has remains open to conjectureI'd be very surprised if Dean Austin isn't here in 3 weeks when the window opens
Who was deciding tactics and player requirements then ? Surely that has to be RobinsWe changed the whole demographic of the squad, I'm not sure that's down to Robins.
Robins was one of several people involved in recruitment , last season alot of the new signings did quite well , this season we missed out on a couple players particularly midfielders , hopefully it's addressed in January .Who was deciding tactics and player requirements then ?

What is?

True but he would have been fully aware of their attributes through watching countless online resources. Still can't believe the signing of BTA was sanctioned along with one of Raphael or Norman. Schoolboy error not spending that money on a midfielder and not pursuing that more diligently. Again we don't know why that happened.Robins was one of several people involved in recruitment , last season alot of the new signings did quite well , this season we missed out on a couple players particularly midfielders , hopefully it's addressed in January .
Robins isn't going out and identifying these players but even so , I think we have alot of talent here
2 midfielders turned us down tbh , marquee signingsTrue but he would have been fully aware of their attributes through watching countless online resources.

Too many cooks and all that- the modern game. If the general team is shit the result is shit if the man in charge concurs. Ultimately I eoukd like to see an inkling with my own eyes as to where the power of selection lies within this club. If the quality of signings dramatically improves under Lsmpard with less funding we know the answerTactics yes. And he cost us a lot of point this season with poor tactics and poor subs.
Changing the squad demographic, see my reply to Grendel.

Unless I'm mistaken we missed out on a quality midfielder because Robins pissed him off by prioritising the other2 midfielders turned us down tbh , marquee signings
I wouldn't say good old Doug but if there is a wage cap then can see why he wouldn't break that wage structure but I would have offered cal a deal on a par with the top earners but did he not accept our deal because he wanted a Premier league move and wasn't willing to stay in the championship with us any longer?Good old doug , could have paid cal his worth though , might have been a good thing to do looking back
No . Its what Cal's agent thought his worth was - massive difference.Good old doug , could have paid cal his worth though , might have been a good thing to do looking back
Robins by all accounts wanted Austin in that role and King trusted his judgement.
I literally haven't attributed those players to anybody , that's you trying to be smartBut robins wasn’t responsible for signings?
Which one is this ? One lad went to forest / olympiacos on loan the other didn't want to leave ajax despite being surplusUnless I'm mistaken we missed out on a quality midfielder because Robins pissed him off by prioritising the other
You know who it isWhich one is this ? One lad went to forest / olympiacos on loan the other didn't want to leave ajax despite being surplus
Having a brain fart , remind meYou know who it is
Urgh don’t summon that Barnsley fan.Yes you have insight into all the Barnsley fans opinions
