Well said that man - some people on here have very short memories.
Without DK I doubt very much we would have a club to moan about.

I wasn't crowing about 7th. 7th is meaninless it is as usefull as 20th. The first season and 18th was in my book a disaster, the football we played at home turned off huge swathes of supporters. I dod not believe Wilkins would have taken us forward and I think we would have been a mid table club next season. The club need promotion in the next 2 years and I do not believe Wilkins would have delivered this. Season ticket renewals must be woeful under 2000 ?. Really Wilkins should have been relieved of his services when we finished 18th.
You haven't answered the question. Only time will tell if MA's appointment will help take us forward. But what I am asking is had you done your job better than expected (as NOBODY expected us to finish 7th) and then got replaced/demoted in the way Wilkins has, would you be happy with that? Because you all seem to be perfectly happy with the club doing that to Wilkins despite him being on a 3 year deal. It's difficult to see what he could have done to have stayed in a job, with hindsight.

I do not think he has over achieved thats where we differ his league record is
Played 86 Won 31 Drawn 22 Lost 33 Points 115
That is not over achieving, it is under achieving, plenty of other managers have done much better with far less resources and the problems we all know about.
The last time I read the statement it said " Wilkins has been offered the role of first team coach ".
Am I wrong ?.
No, but it's a demotion. What would you do if you were told that someone was being brought in to do your job and you could have your old lower grade job if you wanted. I know I'd tell em to stuff it.
Ps you are incredibly smug at times
both Coventry and Leicester are in an awful state...is that down to him, probably not entirely

Dean Wilkins may actually be happy with this move.
Let's wait to hear from him (DW) and stop all of this abusive crap towards DK (who wasn't alone in making a very difficult decision) until we know ALL of the facts.
Hinsh was offered the director of football role.
He was still sacked.
It's more than once![]()
