D'oh!!

I think he is saying "small fish, big pond" for a lot of the time (top tier), then bigger fish, smaller pond during Robins' first tenure. Implying that the same management set-up would never have worked in the top league, therefore he wasn't the most successful post-war manager. At least, i...

Very much doubt he was anywhere close to being in the running for England.

I think Liam Kelly was in that mould, tbf.

If he's responsible for the now-ubiquitous use of Group rather than squad and team, i'm gonna hunt him down and hurt him bad!!!

The solution to whether that may be correct is how Robins gets on in his next role (presumably without Viveash), hopefully with a patient Board. If he only ever achieves L1 mediocrity, we might have a better idea.

You have to admit that the start of the performances/results going down the toilet coincided with the departure of Lawrence and Viveash, who worked together with Robins to achieve the success that we had in recent years. The appointment of the new coaches has not reversed that. Whether that was...

Contender for worst haiku ever!

A supporter of Robins rather than Coventry City, then. Is that how they do it in Florida?

That's one potential candidate taken himself out of the reckoning ...!

Yet BFR seemed to think that MR "didn't like AV"!! What was your take? Did they not get on but worked miracles together? Unlikely, i'd say!

And yet people are now saying MR had a better working relationship with Joy than King. Must have been that coffee she bought him at Coombe Abbey. If she'd put her hand in her purse she may not have been the devil incarnate after all. At least she didn't try to tell him how to do his job!

... or woman! Maybe the cockney pikey Emma Hayes will see the error of her ways in wanting to coach the World Champions and come back to manage us under Marie-Claire (isn't that a magazine?). Any other notable female managers?

I don't think "Ange" will see the end of the season at Spurs

He did mention that Bloomfield was cut a great deal of slack while rebuilding because of him being a fans' favourite during his playing time with them. You think Doug will allow him that, after today? I don't!

Here. Not sure he could have got us promoted from L1 taking over with a few games left of a shockingly mismanaged season

If the press release is to be believed, they want a Head Coach reporting to the Performance Director, not a new manager. It might not be down to whoever that is to decide their backroom staff. If they can't work with Dr Roberts, they won't take the job.

Most wins by Championship sides since April 2024 won't look as good ...

I think that's a bit of a sweeping statement. He may need to drop to L1 (Wycombe??) but he will be back. Especially if he can team up with Viveash again!

Can't see that getting sung for a while now!
