It brought results, but those results very quickly became consistent and uninspiring defeats. No ta.

Why not. Either he'll be a success or put an end to his name coming up every time there's a vacancy.

Because our recent history has a number of people who fancy playing at being a football manager and completely fail? The one time we get someone who's actually managed, he does so well he's immediately poached. We'd be insane to go back to the 'you never know' philosophy.

Most contract negotiations insist on clauses of some kind. Managing a third division side would definitely be one of them.

You and Tom bloody love the drama. Did the scene fade to black as you stared into the middle distance?

Oh fucking hell.

That's a risk faced by 99% of managers everywhere. Let's not forget he's in talks with Huddersfield who got rid of Lee Clark while they were very much set for promotion, which is way more trigger-happy than we've been in recent times.

You can't really put that blood thing aside though, especially when this is all current. He did well but he also spoke up to a few days ago about how he loved it and plans for the future. Either something drastic happened in the last few days or he's just shown himself up somewhat. Some...

Didn't he throw an online hissyfit when he wasn't treated like the prodigal son last time round?

'Speculate to accumulate' is a buzzword phrase used by people in lieu of 'throw money at it!!!!!' Helped the banking world.

I think it's time to bump that FM2013 thread if board members really do spy on here. I can't promise any of you that I won't jump ship, but my blood is healthy.

He got lucky when a forward played well as part of a team he put out and told how to play? I don't think that's how luck works.

Yes, because all he'd have then done is talk to someone and turn them down. People are overdosing on rageahol now, but a handful of wins and they'd change their tune. He wouldn't be the first to entertain a move and then stay put. (I say this fully expecting an official announcement of him...

What convinces you that this is the reason Robins left when you admit to not knowing a single word that was said?

We poached him from Roma too. The 50s were a bit mad.

It's all PR slogans. We had that 'We Are Proud! We Are Strong! THIS IS SPARTA!' nonsense flashing on the scoreboard during the game we went down with an absolute whimper last season.

I think the original poster was saying that he'd be poaching Howe if he was Huddersfield, rather than suggesting we try. I might have read it wrong.

Who wants a big name? Robins wasn't exactly a huge name. I want a capable manager rather than a 'personality' in a suit.

Well I'm not saying he's rewarded with hugs and magic beans, but there's a vast world of difference between a regular job and one in football. People here can say that they'd move to a better job, but their job doesn't also incorporate a two-way relationship with thousands of supporters (which...

Yeah, I wish people would stop saying 'in my job if I did _____', unless your job also involves thousands of people putting their trust and support in you.
