We would have been better off with Robins (3 Viewers)

For once I’m not sure “Robins always turns it round” would have been true. The back room situation was pretty dysfunctional and let’s not forget the reason for Robins sacking was not just about the results ( it was still pretty early) but what King could clearly see was a situation Robins couldn’t really get out of.
Gave City and Mark a fresh start which was badly needed.
Given how strongly the bottom 8 teams finished, we could have been right in that mess needing something on the last day.

I'm not sure it is really about Robins or Lampard individually but the coaching staff as a whole & the club (including Robins) fucking up the appointments in the summer

- Robins, Adi & Lawrence would have got us play-offs

- Lampard, Boateng & Carr would not have got us play-offs

I felt Robins deserved longer to figure it out but in hindsight I'm glad Doug spotted the error, made the change & allowed Lampard to bring Edwards and Jones with him

Not sure why Lawrence is being lauded so much on here. Yes, when he left last season results took a turn, but I'd imagine that was more to do with the Robins/Viveash fallout. We'd had promotions and success before Dennis arrived.

Losing Viveash was the problem.

Losing Viveash was the problem.

I think really there are other factors that robins himself is part responsible for tbh ... as good as adi was at certain things he wasnt the be all end all but really appointing people like George boeteng was a huge mistake , the bloke had next to no top level coaching experience .. our coaching setup looking back simply wasnt good enough and ultimately cost robins his job , mark probably thought he was doing the right thing but really he wasnt and thats that .

The fact the first team coaching setup has pretty much been dispersed since shows this is the case
