“Hahahaha — I’m super Franky Lampard ain’t I… no but seriously Doug’s assured me I can blame George Boateng and Claire Roberts if it goes tits up”If Lampard is announced at the forum I’d love someone to ask him “You’re taking over after the most popular and successful manager in a generation, under an owner who has shown himself to be impulsive and meddling, with fans who don’t want you and expect success as a bare minimum. Why?”
Doug would go red and start squeezing his penIf Lampard is announced at the forum I’d love someone to ask him “You’re taking over after the most popular and successful manager in a generation, under an owner who has shown himself to be impulsive and meddling, with fans who don’t want you and expect success as a bare minimum.

You see the pressure is suddenly different isn't it ?To justify sacking robins it must be at least a top 10 finish this year with positive attacking football.
playoffs next year no if’s or buts.
We have, and are no longer underdogs. We’ve got rid of a manager who we have deemed “stale” therefore a new manager must be a significant improvementYou see the pressure is suddenly different isn't it ?
We've become a different club overnight wether we like it or not

That happened the moment we got a kick a way from the premier league and we got rid of owners who literally could not give a fuck.We have, and are no longer underdogs. We’ve got rid of a manager who we have deemed “stale” therefore a new manager must be a significant improvement
Doug sacking Robins has allowed people to create a romanticized version of future events if Robins had stayed. I wasn't seeing anything to suggest we were a top 10 team. Our home form given the opposition was very very worrying actually.If MR had stayed I was expecting us to recover to be Top 10 come the end of the season, although play offs had become a bit of a stretch, if not impossible. Any new manager will therefore have those same expectations from me.

with Doug I get the feeling he doesn’t want to be here in 5 years time. So to maximise his investment he needs to get us as high as possible.
we’re a stable club at this point, and we’ve been a sleeping giant for sometime. Everything about this city and football heritage screams premier league.
we’ve been to Wembley 4 times in 8 years, we’re competing with the bigger teams. You stop being an underdog at that point
To be fair historically we are not a Premier league team and there are currently 20 clubs bigger than us .That happened the moment we got a kick a way from the premier league and we got rid of owners who literally could not give a fuck.

Did you think we would go down?Doug sacking Robins has allowed people to create a romanticized version of future events if Robins had stayed. I wasn't seeing anything to suggest we were a top 10 team. Our home form given the opposition was very very worrying actually.
I think some of our fans could become quite ridiculous now but expect us to improve in some form.
The brummie interviewer is definitely not gonna use this and instead opt for "frank I'm sure your happy to be here?"If Lampard is announced at the forum I’d love someone to ask him “You’re taking over after the most popular and successful manager in a generation, under an owner who has shown himself to be impulsive and meddling, with fans who don’t want you and expect success as a bare minimum.

Some of our fans are mental
Probably not but assuming you are too good to go down is a fools game. I've said I'd want top half and significantly improved home form now but unless the new man absolutely stinks the joint out I'll judge more on next season and hopefully a much better start than this.Did you think we would go down?
If not surely suggesting a new manager would need to get mid table to be worth justifying replacing Robins is valid?

Most the people on here are decent chaps even if I don't agree with majority on the this. The Facebook forum is full of deranged mentalists with a maximum of one brain cell per person.Some of our fans are mental
Agree to that, but I feel historically we’ve under achieved. Fanbase/city size isn’t indicative of a big club. But it sort of prepares you.To be fair historically we are not a Premier league team and there are currently 20 clubs bigger than us .
Yes because everyone was saying Robins tactically had lost it and lost the respect of the changing roomGiven the excuse for many was
A. The coaches are shit
B. The players are shit and a waste of money
Do you actually expect the new man to do any better at all?
I agree the potential is there to see us become a huge club , under Robins we've just gone from 9000 average to 27000Agree to that, but I feel historically we’ve under achieved. Fanbase/city size isn’t indicative of a big club. But it sort of prepares you.
when you look at the potential to a place like Coventry with a somewhat historical significance. (I consider us similar to Southampton) there is potential there.
No everyone wasn't. More people were saying what I've just put above. Around 90% I'm told.Yes because everyone was saying Robins tactically had lost it and lost the respect of the changing room

This is my point exactly.I felt under MR we would have had every chance of winning at Sunderland.
