Personally, I think the play-offs have now disappeared in a puff of Robins' shaped smoke. The new man (God, please not Oggy or "Carso") will need to get to know the players (and vice versa). Then again, the players should have the professionalism and the gumption to get on with it. Last...

This just in: "Robins to be revealed on Thursday at Preston after Signing with Huddersfield on Wednesday and then triggering his six-figure release clause after Blackpool approached Huddersfield asking permission to speak to their new manager before signing with the Seasiders on Wednesday...

Now that IS good news. However, I will change my opinion if Oggy and/or Carsley are "given a chance to prove themselves".

Actually it was "Robins to be revealed on Thursday at Blackpool after Signing with Huddersfield on Wednesday and then triggering his six-figure release clause after Blackpool approached Huddersfield asking permission to speak to their new manager". <takes breath>.

There's no doubt he was great at the time and he was unfairly treated, but I wouldn't want him back. Let's just have fond memories of the time he was here. There's no guarantee he'd be able to recreate those times now.

Coventry City reglardless of it's size and stature are in the third tier, they are in the league above us. They have a megabucks owner. I have absolutely no problem in criticizing SISU, but feel that they are not to blame in this instance. Robins is a good young manager. No more than that.

I don't think it's not a case of SISU "allowing" it, that's just how it is. Robins obviously negotiated this when he agreed to the position. Maybe he does this every time he accepts a position. He will no doubt be doing it again before the year is through.

That has happened at Coventry City for forty years. And other lower league clubs constantly. We were an "easy target" in the top flight too. Gillespie, Danny Thomas through to Keane.

Yes, I do. He's a good manager and has proved that this season taking us from the relegation zone to three points from the play-offs at one point. I don't think our financial position has anything to do with it. Else, SISU wouldn't have rejected the approach in the first instance.

You're still trying desperatly to bring in the "financial disarray", etc Players and managers leave clubs all the time whether the clubs are in trouble or not. Almost without exception they go for one thing. Money. Robins knew the score when he became manager, it's not like it was a big...

Maybe he has gone because we ARE hitting the buffers. Maybe he doesn't know how to turn it around?

Ha! Every cloud and all that.

Oh, I see. It's because I called you a silly little boy, so you can call me a c**t? I'll remember that with my six year old...you are allowed to say c**t, but don't EVER let me here you say "silly boy".

I think it's simple. I think it is a case of black and white. Robins wants out because he'll get more money, a bigger budget and he'll be closer to home. Fair enough.

Again it's all conjecture and fiction. You don't know when he speaks to Joy S. You don't know what would happen if we hadn't have reached the play offs or what the budget would be in the summer. YOU. DON'T. KNOW. As for the old chesnut, 12 managers in 11 years stuff, they weren't here for...

Oh, I see. So although he said he was happy, he really wasn't? Or maybe he was happyish, but not as happy as he said he was to the press and the supporters of Coventry City? Yep, you're right, I've changed my mind. It is SISUs fault, after all.

Oh. My. God. Not Old Sky Blue? Not THE Old Sky Blue? Not the Old Sky Blue that posts on here?! Gulp. Well, that's OK then, it was the Commentator on Yorkshire FM or BBC Huddersfield or whatever. I guess, like Clive Eakin he knows everything that's happening inside the football club...

I like Robins. I hope he stays. He's a great manager, but feel sorry for him? He's not done a real days work in his life, he's done a job and is doing a job that 99.9% of us can only dream of doing. He is in a position of whether he stays or goes he will be paid handsomely for doing. A...

Dongo, I think you live in a parallel fairy nether world of marshmallow clouds and chocolate streams. YOu don't know they wouldn't show him any loyalty. You don't know that can't sign anyone in the summer. You don't know that MR wouldn't have been successful here. You don't know he will be...

I'm sure you're right, WM. Just thinking aloud really. Obviously not the Board as he met them the day before. And he stated he was "happy" after that. Like I say, after today it won't matter anyway.
