Telegraph are saying his initial contract runs to summer 2018, which I guess becomes the annual rolling deal mentioned elsewhere.

I wonder when they contacted him initially. For him to already be in taking training today and to be overwhelming bookies favourite before they'd even rubbed Slade's name in felt tip off the manager's door suggests it's been a while.

Same boat as runner. Things would need to change substantially for me and while Robins is a promising sign if he's anything like he was, I need to see a lot more to even begin to be convinced.

I was all for him and he started with the best intent, signings that seemed to be exactly what we were missing too.

More blaming of season ticket holders by stupids. If the cap fits!!!!

It all reads as though looking at next season rather than desperately trying to salvage this one

Main point from that is 'beyond the current season', an appointment aimed just at keeping us up would have been a colossal waste of time.

Last season Palermo had eight different managerial appointments - one was a caretaker who lasted longer than the shortest permanent manager, and the first two managers sacked came back for another spell later in the season. There's no owner like a mad Italian owner.

I don't think it matters who leads them out. When people gave a shit about the FA Cup you'd see teams being led out with a sense of prestige, but the JPT in 2017?

He also mentions Blair Adams as a player Robins liked. I thought it was weird that we let him go when we did.

We should have won the JPT when he was here before, so clearly he's come back for unfinished business. And this time... it's personal. Coming to cinemas near you in April. Rated PG

If we were just going back in time, thank fuck Robins said yes as Andy Thorn was next in line

I always think the credit has to be shared, a successful goalscorer can only flourish in the setup a manager puts out, and the right striker can make a manager's setup work incredibly well. Getting the right combination needs a little from either side, even when I hated Robins for walking I felt...

The Telegraph headline described him as 'ex Man Utd striker'. Surely that's less relevant than 'former Coventry manager'?

Both. If McGoldrick had the power to improve a team all by himself Ipswich would be doing a bit better than they are

Observer are saying it's happening

If he's named tomorrow, they've been talking to him for a little while?

Dowie and Pressley are the only real exceptions, Andy Thorn of course has never been a football manager
