Apparently Robins has been given 12 months' notice, so he's actually going nowhere until the end of next season as it stands now.
If true, that's the longest notice period I've ever seen.
I'd argue against Clingan being a non-creative holding midfielder. He's much closer to being a deep playmaker than a hard-tackling spoiler type. As hesitant as I am to compare Coventry City players with top-class footballers, he's more our Pirlo than he is our Gattuso.
As it is, the Daily Mirror have claimed that if Ranson were to take over, he'd want Robins in. Considering this is The Mirror and it relies on a takeover that shows no sign of happening at all, I wouldn't read much into it from our side of things.
Just to check, the question raised is whether the team that finished in 18th and is losing at least five members of the first-team squad already needs new players?
Most of us don't already enjoy a lavish footballer's lifestyle having grown accustomed to such wealth and the inevitably large outgoings that go with it.
He's not confirmed what he's doing, but he's clearly making comments to the end that if he does decide to move on it won't exactly surprise anyone. Everything he's said is perfectly sensible really.
Remember when Robbie Simpson scored and instead of sliding on his knees kind of planted himself and went face first? That was the best thing he ever did for us.

Take it and replace 'wayo' with Keogh - instant classic.
I'll get the glowsticks, someone else order the shell suits.
Have people seen enough of Ireland to suggest he's not very good? I know he had the injury problems, but if they were injuries that point to recurring problems he'd be gone in the same way that Osbourne is I'd have thought.
