Can I be honest if your source is on the money, why doesn’t robins put his foot down. He knows how much the fans back him. If threatened to walk surely Doug would back down or am I being an idiot.

I, and others, am not going to be paying his wages.

Oh I 100% get this but if he’s got money in the bank why does everything according to the source always go against him. Surely at some point he must have some influence

I wonder if Chris originally applied for the assistant role before they went ahead and created the flat structure of coaches

Looking at it from a very simple perspective here - if we do indeed bring someone in I hope they've got a voice on matchday and offer something different to MR. Key aspect of matchdays with Adi whether you're watching on TV or at the game is you could hear him as clearly as you could hear our shitty PA system.

Whether there's substance to his methods being a point of contention or not with senior players - having that voice on the field has been missing - just what I feel.

Would the club really make and appointment in a number 2 and not want Robins blessing? Just seems odd…

Ramsey has recently left QPR, so he wouldn’t have been interviewed previously, unless he was given permission?

To be honest, taking it a pure face value. Getting annoyed with Mark. Wants a number two and gets one.

He hasn't exactly had a great start. Owner giving him more tools with the coaches and now what appears to be a decent appointment on paper for a number two.

Maybe he was interviewed during the ad for an assistant manager and left a good impression.

You're getting second hand information on how people feel. Completely unhelpful. It feels like your posting for engagement this time.

So, would the position be Assistant Manager or Assistant to the Manager?

That’s why the decision behind gives us a strong indication of what’s to come.

To be fair to @Saddlebrains he did elaborate on this and say the potential person coming in might not of been Robins first choice, either way if true that’s concerning.

One thing that sticks out for me over the last couple of years is how much noise is coming out from within the club. Obviously you take everything with a pinch of salt but the likes of saddlebrains, Dawkins, GIMOC etc relaying information that has been shared to them the majority of it isn’t positive. Whether true or not is another matter but the results on the pitch would indicate that they possibly are.

It’s concerning and to be honest I’ve thought this for quite a while I feel the end is nigh for Robins.

I mean managers typically pick their own assistants in football unless they join a club with one in place and the owners refuse to change it

Not sure about a football club and it's supporters , I feel like it's all just a big dramatic soap opera .. such a surreal experience supporting this club at times .


Next week on coventry city , will mark get his number 2 and will it be his ? Is haji happy and does his wife like Willenhall?
Is liam kitching an absolute bellend in training ?

Is doug appointing staff under the managers nose ?
Will fans on twitter want mark robins in or out this week ?

Tune in to find out next week when all will be revealed

I really dislike this gossipy drama queen bullshit.

Whoever your ‘source’ is is a scumbag, and I don’t give a toss if it’s one of the players or the tea lady. They should be got rid of. No organisation would see this constant leaking as healthy, it only makes things worse, yet you’re feeding into it & plastering every half baked theory all over here, as it makes you feel big. Some people seem to like the scandal & rumour and that’s their business- I hate it.

I mean its not like it's just been 1 thing though is it?

Granted there's the odd occasion things have been wrong but even GIMOC gets it right on things

There's a lot of people who just don't want to believe things though. And that's fine, their perogative
