I think Robins’s main strength is creating a siege mentality and then dragging out the extra 10% out of limited players. since he’s been backed there’s very few players that have gone on to better after us. There’s obviously the none limited players - Gyokeres, Hamer, O’Hare - who will have...

Didn’t Pressley have a clause allowing his sacking if we dropped into the relegation zone? robins isn’t going to freely walk though is he.

Robins isn’t going to walk at any point. He has a 4 year contract on probably lucrative terms

100% you’re one of these just happy to stay up this year

Well if he’s good enough he can take a 45m squad and get them in play offs. I wouldn’t take more than 5 other teams squads in this league. individual players yes but not squads

So is Robins good enough or what?

With 45m spent - the expectation with that goes up. We’re not shopping around in the odds and sods anymore. the players are better.

It doesn’t buy anything but it buys better players, but then it would be the manager’s job to get the better players to work together. If he can’t do that he’s not doing his job correctly

We’ve spent 45m - the targets are not impossible whatsoever. Top 6 is a progressive target and attainable. 2 years ago Sunderland, Ourselves and Luton didn’t spend anywhere near that and made the play offs. Just because you’re happy to just be here doesn’t mean the rest of us are. We want to...

It’s a 250 point warm up tournament for Wimbledon… which Alcaraz went on to win for the second time, beating one of the Greatest for a second time. There are levels to this I’d be pleasantly surprised if he gets past Sinner

He’s been good. Great win for him - But his draw massively opened up. I think he was in Alcaraz’s quarter.

I’ve also found out that Draper is the first Brit to be in the US Open semis since Murray won it in 2012. really shocks me that he never made the semi again given that it was always seen as his best slam in his early years. Murray was unfortunate to come in the era he did 10 year earlier or...

He was - but he’d signed a new contract in the championship. He was one of our better players when we got relegated

It went to a league vote on whether to remove us. Whilst in Northampton there was a rule we had to be a certain mileage form the city centre the reason we sold Clarke was because wolves tapped him up. We weren’t under threat to sell him. We had Murphy, Christie, Baker on Championship wages - we...

We don’t know who the money man behind Doug is 2bh

Depends on the way you wish to restrict. If it’s based on revenue - we’ll never be able to compete. I actually favour the anchoring idea being discussed for the prem everyone can only spend up to 4x the bottom club’s revenue - limits spending - but allows growth if wanted

You said “I genuinely wonder how many of our fans would be comfortable had it have been us.” the answer if we get around some poorly written arbitrary rules designed to keep the big clubs on top and win a league title then yes - I’d be comfortable with it

I’m sure we’d all be gutted watching us beat Sevilla and watching Liam Kitching lifting the Premier league title.

I don’t doubt it makes it harder. I’d also argue it deters others from also buying a club like ours. what’s the point if your path to success is hamstrung

The football competition is a corporation, it is bound by business law.
