Next Manager

I’d take anyone over Robinson at the the moment. I can’t remember ever feeling that strongly about a managerial change before but it’s obvious the situation is a mess and we’re sliding back to league 2 without change.

Couldn’t agree more, he seems to have lost the ability to get players playing and his system of 1 up front doesn’t work. Time for a change before January finishes.
 
Jaap Stam, Tiger’s mate.
If anyone is coming in it will be him.
Most likely nobody is coming in though, as it will cost money to get rid of KR. And rumour has it that the players still haven’t been paid for December, as we ain’t got any cash........
Hand to mouth?
Hopefully a simple case of a Tiger not wanting to put any more of his money in before an imminent takeover.

The only thing that might mean Tiger does something is that was in attendance for both of the home games over Christmas and hopefully will be embarrassed into doing something.

Pretty sure that it will be an internal process if he does and I'd love to see Chrissy Allen be given the chance. Not sure hoe big a step up it is from under 23s to the full squad but he can't do any worse than KR is doing.

I wonder how closely he works with the mains squad, if at all. Would it be an easy transition?

There is always a way. Even Kassam had to listen when those true hardcore fans stormed the boardroom all those years ago.

The players wages not getting paid is made up rumours.
If Tiger is so skint why has he just paid a transfer fee?
Why has he also paid for Graham to come in on loan?
KR has proved already he can turn it around when he has full squad. Right now he is right down the bare bones.
 
Agree entirely re made up rumours about wages but not sure we can afford to give KR a second chance to waste money on transfers at such an important time
And he is down to the bare bones to quite a large extent due to his own decisions, especially in relation to strikers
 
I’m hoping I’ll wake up tomorrow morning to a statement from Tiger that shows that he’s finally shown true leadership qualities and has done what needs to be done to save our season. Relieve the struggling, failing manager of his duties and brought in someone with good league experience on a contract until the end of the season with the remit of keeping us in league 1.

That’s what I’m hoping but of course it won’t happen. The silence from Tiger will be deafening

And you will probably wake up with the next Euro Millions lottery numbers stapled to your head too !!!
 
When he’s finally gone I’ll post his brilliant fantasy starting eleven that he made a point of gushing over at the training ground a few months back. But I find it very, very interesting as time goes on listening to him talking about player X, Y and Z while I’m sat there going, “Hang on, you don’t rate him!” or occasionally, “Wait a minute, that’s not the position you claim he’s best suited to, so don’t give me that garbage!”

I made my mind up about the man the day I spent three hours listening to his drivel on his own turf. Forget everything I’d personally been told or seen previously through my time in the football media, almost all of which wasn’t exactly glowing, that afternoon and the subsequent Walsall game a day later made me believe he’s a deluded, daft man. I’ve had some small degree of sympathy for him because I think the club is a shambles behind the scenes, far worse than people even think already, but he gets nothing from me now purely because I don’t see a good manager being tied up and beaten by circumstances. I see a man who actually, bar a couple of decent seasons numerous years ago, has done nothing but underachieve. And while he’s not had much to work with, or certainly not as much as he would have liked, what he’s had he has squandered and wasted.

I was also told by somebody who knows him, who works for a national radio station, that he allegedly considered walking away earlier this season because he’s questioning whether he has the heart for football management presently. We know he only came here because he lives in MK, and he’s never even hidden that himself. So what do we expect when this appears to be just an easy pay cheque less than an hour from home?

I think he will go between now and the start of next season and go into the media for a while, where he will start off by trying to convince the world that he was stitched up and that nobody could have done any better. He may resurface in management down the line, but that’s where his future lies once he disappears from here. And he will, one way or another. In my opinion.
 
Does relegation effect the cost of land/real estate? I’m beginning to arrive at uneasy conclusion that that’s really all Tiger and his pals are here for. Nothing that’s happening on the field really backs up his claims of championship ambitions.

Why not post his ideal starting 11 now? It's not as if it will change anything and you're hardly being sensitive to confidentialities.
