He was the manager when they relegated us at Villa Park so its hard to view him in a good light but he still had another couple of years with them after that.

What makes Robins a good manager? The fact he failed to get promoted even though he had Adam Le Fondre up front or when in his 2 seasons with Barnsley he finished 18th and then surged upwards to 17th in his glory season. There's no such thing as a sure bet when it comes to picking a new manager...

I think its all about unrealistic expectations. I dont think some of them were failures its just if you dont get in the play offs in 2 seasons or make significant progress in the first season then you're out. In general managers who get the most money and support are the most successful. I mean...

Do me a favour mate I've probably seen the City play away from home over 200 times. I know its the first time you've been to a big ground but don't get too carried away and when you get to double figures let me know.

Dont forget we won the Southern Professional Floodlight Cup

No I didnt forget. I dont get your point though. Manager brings in player and it improves team. Yeah Adams what an idiot :thinking about:

Ive got a Triumph GT6. Hence my Avatar picture.

Im defo not going. I dont give a monkeys about the cup games.

We have one season to get out of this league with a decent playing budget. Why the hell would anyone want Mark Robins who took Barnsley to 18th in 2009/10 and then the giddy heights of 17th in the 2010/2011 season. Its not exactly stacking the odds in our favour is it.

Yeah, people with opinions what a cheek.

Its a mental thing. How often do here managers when playing away banging on about not conceding an early goal, staying in the game and turning the crowd against the home side. While the home side are expected to be on the front foot and get out quickly, blah blah blah. I dont think teams go for...

Yeah, John Robertson smoking while on the training pitch. It was a tough life :). Even Cloughie failed when the players didnt want him at Leeds.

Non of them got us relegated though. Dowie was badly treated IMO and Adams got us to 8th which seems a million miles away now. Managers who know the lower leagues tend to know them for a reason. Lets not kid ourselves.

Most players will big up the current manager whether they believe it or not. Its a lonely life on bench once you start spouting that the manager is clueless and couldn't motivate an eager group of Scouts to learn a new knot.

I also agree. As bad as SISU have been as owners they are still spending more than we are making this season, so in essence they are gambling to a degree that we will go straight back up. If we dont get up a the first time of asking, if SISU do stay around, the budget will be cut again and our...

Wow, Robins he got Barnsley playing okay. If he gets it our meteoric rise to greatness will be underway ;)

I dont know but I bet they all fancy us

I'd like someone like Alex McLeish, Billy Davies or Ray Wilkins. But I'm expecting Gary Megson, Graham Alexander, Steve Cotterill, Nigel Worthington or Sean Dyche.

yes you are correct but I remember Sheff still playing various games under Adams up top along with Morrell and even when he played wide left he always drifted inside to form a third striker.

Jesus you'll be asking us to all hold hands and sing Kum Ba Yah next. It happens everywhere, its not a good thing but is it the reason the player being booed plays crap week after week, I think not. Normally its because they just aren't good enough and never will be.
