Same as Maddison, between the whistles they’re just another opposition player, before/after they’re both players with strong ties to the club back for the first time, let people clap if they want.
And if we don’t see it? Do we give him two windows to change it, then if we start poor next season pull the trigger again? Then that guy won’t be expected to do anything for a season cos he’s new?
When is a reasonable point to say it’s not working?
And sounds like no matter how crap we are you’ll pretend it’s the right decision and robins would have been worse.
Our recent form, that lead to his sacking, is play off form. Thats the bare minimum to maintain where we were going.
The idea of “playoff form” “relegation form” is nonsense really. Not many teams average the same ppg consistently throughout the season. Robins has shown that even with a start like we’ve had you can expect a top ten finish. Whatever comes in has to be better than that.
Sacking a manager who has never had a bad season is harsher. “That’s football”
Whoever it is has been brought in for instant success. If they aren’t better than the last seven years then they’ve failed.
As always not sure if playing the fool, but Sisu didn’t touch the football side. Robins didn’t rock the boat about non-football and they didn’t about football. There were terrible owners in every other respect. Hence me making this meme:
This is exactly how the management merry go round works though. New guy comes in, can’t be judged this year, starts poorly next having spent for two windows, new guy comes in, can’t be judged this year…
