Mark Robins rouses reconstructed Coventry to verge of Premier League
The former Manchester United striker has pulled Coventry back from the brink and is, in the words of one player, ‘a brilliant manager’
Michael Doyle, whom Robins made his first signing and named captain, recalls a conversation on his first day back at Coventry. “I vividly remember him saying: ‘I’m getting a chief exec in, I’m getting the recruitment sorted,’” says Doyle, who retired last year. Robins also set about improving the gym facilities and making sure there was a dryer in the kit room, in between trying to shield his squad from mounting outside noise. “He was putting things in place on a weekly basis. He has built Coventry from the bottom up. For all he’s done at the club, he’s 90 minutes away from a statue of him going up outside the ground, and there are not many of those. He is just a brilliant manager.”
Well listening to him has cured my sleeping issues, Jesus Christ
A good 20 min interview with one of our key players on Saturday.
Are you still allowed to say that?I never watch anything else other than GBNews . No bullshit approach to stories and they call a spade a spade .

Bit of conflicted messaging between your profile picture and your 'news' channel of choice.
Yep, Two Tone stood for everything GB News doesn't.
I don’t think that’s rightTwo tone stood for the colour of your skin being an irrelevance to who you are as a person.
Precisely the opposite of the race baiting crap you get on BBC news or Sky
I don’t think that’s right
The main thrust of the 2 Tone message was one of racial harmony and anti-racism, one still valid today.
I had two wonderful friends at school who were black and can remember clear as day at the away game at Blackburn when we won 5-2 the police being overly racistThat's right, Pete. It was all about trying to defuse racial tensions, not stoke them like GBN.

We’ve come a long way
We all bleed the same colourIt’s almost like black people are the same as the rest of us isn’t it Pete?
We all bleed the same colour
Oh there’s many reasons why positive discrimination is a good idea and there’s many reasons to ensure that being aware of how we are different helps us to live together with the harmony the specials dreamt ofExactly.
So no need to treat people differently is there? No prejudice, but no special treatment either.
There is no such thing as "positive discrimination", its just discrimination.Oh there’s many reasons why positive discrimination is a good idea and there’s many reasons to ensure that being aware of how we are different helps us to live together with the harmony the specials dreamt of
God you’re such a fucking twatExactly.
So no need to treat people differently is there? No prejudice, but no special treatment either.
Is it discrimination when people from poorer backgrounds get free school dinners? Or get grants for higher education? But rich people dont?There is no such thing as "positive discrimination", its just discrimination.
And its never a good thing. Discriminating on the basis of skin colour is racism. No good will ever come of it.
When you say being aware of how we are different, what do you mean? I was brought up to believe we're all fundamentally the same inside. Do you not think that?
Don't you think we would have a more harmonious society if we concentrated on our similarities rather than our differences?
God you’re such a fucking twat

To use a pun it’s not as black and white as you seem to believeThere is no such thing as "positive discrimination", its just discrimination.
And its never a good thing. Discriminating on the basis of skin colour is racism. No good will ever come of it.
When you say being aware of how we are different, what do you mean? I was brought up to believe we're all fundamentally the same inside. Do you not think that?
Don't you think we would have a more harmonious society if we concentrated on our similarities rather than our differences?
So apply the same principles to race and given the fact that some people have been oppressed for hundreds of years, you can obviously work out why just treating them the same isn’t always enough. But of course you know this you’re probably just a big fat white man who’s bitter he hasn’t made more of his privilege. Can’t really fix that….No. Because both the rich kids and poorer kids end up with a school dinner, or can afford uni. No individual is harmed or denied opportunity by it.
I think you mean positive action Pete rather than positive discrimination. One is totally appropriate, the other illegal.Oh there’s many reasons why positive discrimination is a good idea and there’s many reasons to ensure that being aware of how we are different helps us to live together with the harmony the specials dreamt of

How can you be colourblind in this way? It's not about treating everyone the same. It's about providing equality of opportunity which has to take account of the discrimination that some people face and the privilege that others have.Can I ask, are you colourblind when it comes to race?
When speaking to a black person for instance would you treat them differently to a white one?
Would you ever exclude someone from a job because of their colour?
See this is the problem with you people. You're obsessed with race. You see everything though the prism of colour. You fail to recognise these are actual human beings we're talking about here.So apply the same principles to race and given the fact that some people have been oppressed for hundreds of years, you can obviously work out why just treating them the same isn’t always enough. But of course you know this you’re probably just a big fat white man who’s bitter he hasn’t made more of his privilege. Can’t really fix that….
Why would you be annoyed by the slogan "all lives matter"?I imagine you were probably one who got annoyed by the slogan “black lives matter” and instead wanted it to be “all lives matter”
Its the same thingI think you mean positive action Pete rather than positive discrimination. One is totally appropriate, the other illegal.

Why would you be annoyed by the slogan "all lives matter"?
Because it's taking focus away from where positive action is required. It's a deliberate attempt to divert away from issues.
