    OLD OLD OLD OLD OLD NEWS : CET: Deal struck for half of the stadium with Higgs Trust

    I know people are dubious but this is a step in the right direction. We all hate SISU, but we are stuck with them. But all clubs should own their stadiums.

    I don't know about anyone else

    It hasn't fallen apart. It just had to change its course slightly.

    I don't know about anyone else

    But I'm starting to feel cautiously optimistic about Robbsy ( sorry, had to ) He's not someone that's ever peaked and fallen again like Brown, Ince, Boothroyd, Adams etc. He's done a steady job so far, he's spent his time out of management working with some of the best in the game. I'm not...

    Today's training session

    Thats a good point, in that he's actually worked with and under Fergie.

    £4m budget

    That will cover everything for the season and it will be pretty much 95% on wages.

    I beg your pardon? Do you have some useful info to share that may contradict it?

    Fao lynch

    I heard yesterday they weren't exactly over the moon. I think they wanted someone to come in and shake it up. My mate mentioned Phil Brown as the person they wanted.

    Kilbane on R5

    Interesting how he said that about Robbins. Worrying really. My mate returned from work at Ccfc yesterday saying how the players aren't really happy with Robins. Maybe that's a little exaggerated, but they wanted Phil Brown. You would hope they'd back whoever gets put in and give them 100%...

    Our Season Starts Now

    I think for Sat I'm just hoping to see some kind of improvement. Even if it's just a clean sheet and a 0-0. Steady the defence first, then look forward. But yes, new man in and a fresh start.

    CET: Robins needs fans help

    I think that was a very deliberate point he made.

    Welcome Mark Robbins

    My mate came to the pub thus evening fresh from work at the City ( he painted quite a picture of how hard up we are, but I can't be bothered to type that up ). Anyway on a more relevant point he got the idea the players themselves wanted someone to come in and shake it up. They wanted Brown...

    Mark Robins (a Barnsley perspective)

    Does he play 4-4-2 with those midfielders?
  13. Diehard Si

    Robins is....

    We're second from bottom of the 3rd tier. We are broke. Beggars can't really be choosers. I think he's a fairly good appointment, not going to set the world alight, but then again we all expected miracles from past managers and nothing happened. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Are our players really good enough?

    Yes I agree. We're all miserable at the mo and it's easy to point the blame. But time for a line in the sand. Let's see how it goes.

    Todays the day

    Ever the optimist hey?

    Anybody else?

    It's character building at least. I play some BF3 with my mates and my Man U supporting mate quits when it gets too tough. I abuse him and call it Man Utd Fan Syndrome. If its not on a plate and easy he's not interested. Saying that not sure I should inflict this on my 2 month old son anymore.

    CET: Mark Robins will face city crisis after unable to agree terms with Paul Ince

    So Robins has to join knowing he was 2nd choice from the board. We should let him know he was 1st choice from that list with the fans.

    Anybody else?

    I've got to the point now where I'm not bothered anymore. Just utterly useless.

    Daily Mail Robins link now gone &...

    I think the first choice who turned it down was Ince My guesswork not fact btw.

    Somebody pinch me.........

    TO be honest I've just got to the point where Im just sat here in completey dismay, almost finding it funny in a laugh or cry kind of way. Just cannot believe it has come to this.
