Well said. We were also lucky to keep him as long as we did. Im sure there mustve been interest in him over the years.
Grendel i get it you dont like robins .
But you have to admit the club was in a bad place , wed had many managers before him with the same owners and both times he was here he did well .
Id argue at that time no other man would have done what he did for us .. also 2 promotions has to be applauded but not just that , the way we stayed up and pushed on in the championship was admirable when we didnt have the biggest budget at the time .
He managed under very difficult circumstances too
He helped build most of this squad we have here today , built mostly from the money he made by selling players from the team he built before that .
You also have to admire his role in bringing back fans to the club and helping create a generation of new fans
His effect on the club and the city was biblical really and his role in where we are now is still there
You have to admire it , its odd not to
We lost 15 games that seasonWe didn’t sneak into the playoffs on the final day, we finished 3 points ahead of 8th. A draw against Morecambe was enough for both teams to secure playoffs/survival. In principle, would have been no different to us hypothetically drawing to Boro on the final day last season.
As an aside, a CCFC documentary from about 2016 onwards would have been wild.
Tbh those 2 names together gives me a hardon cos of the knockheart missed pen and then counter goal in playoffsAlways liked Watford and Leicester.
2016/17 CCFC would have made the best fly on the wall documentary ever, four managers (two of which were absolute clowns), fan toxicity, one of the most hated chairmen in the league, a dreadful squad of footballers who got embarrassingly relegated but also somehow won a trophyAs an aside, a CCFC documentary from about 2016 onwards would have been wild.
We won 22, what of it? The reality is that we achieved a playoffs quite comfortably. Both times we’ve been in the Championship playoffs it was more of a close run thing going into the final day.We lost 15 games that season
Completly agree with previous post about robinsFor me they have to give him another season. They stayed up last day last year so mid table would be progress and if they regress next year then whatever get rid .. the league is so challenging and really without spending tens of millions then what are you going to do overnight
For me it's priorities. In this orderMy midweek hope is watford win and city avoid defeat
A boro defeat or draw would be great too
Well, its better than the alternative way of supporting them.

Can't hate parkinson at all, yeah they have spent money, but they took that squad worth about £55-65m and bossed it over squads worth multiple times that.I don't understand why Phil Parkinson gets shade thrown at him though
You can dislike Wrexham but it's a bit dumb to say whoever manages them under Reynolds ownership must be shit
You can just say yeh I don't like Wrexham spending money but their manager has had a good career.
People above 35 shouldn't be falling for social media football fan negativity imo
Nick should add a praying emoji to the reactionsWatford good at home and Ipswich poor away.
Could be a good night.
Completly agree with previous post about robins
One small nitpick here tho. You say lower midtable is progress for stoke and he should stay
But if lampard for 3rd that's also progress from last year but you said he needs to go if we don't go up?
Tbf we kinda did this on weekend when you said robins has money in the bank for you. I just feel like you treat lampard a tad harsh. You can love robins and lampard, I do it every day alongside mowbray
Yet the same squad of players showed play off form when Robins took over.2016/17 CCFC would have made the best fly on the wall documentary ever, four managers (two of which were absolute clowns), fan toxicity, one of the most hated chairmen in the league, a dreadful squad of footballers who got embarrassingly relegated but also somehow won a trophy
It was not a play-off capable side regardless of that, it was massively undercooked full of kids that were let down by the more senior playersYet the same squad of players showed play off form when Robins took over.
If that happens ipswich will be 14 behind with 14 left for themAway at the Blunts is probably about as tough as it gets for us for the remainder of the season. Anything we pick up is a bonus. If we win there i'll be buzzing. If we win there off the back of Ipshit losing at Watford, i'll wank myself into oblivion.
Played against one of his teams years ago, horrible horrible arrogant so and so.
kudos Wrexham done well, but he’s still a very limited manager for me.

Remember Parkinson having a big bust up with Pressley when he was our manager after a 3-3 draw with his Bradford sideRe Parkinson -

Back when Bradford fans used to argue Nakhi Wells was better than Callum WilsonRemember Parkinson having a big bust up with Pressley when he was our manager after a 3-3 draw with his Bradford side
Still going I believe, perhaps they should perform before a lestoh home game?Always been a big Showaddywaddy fan
When I play football manager if you're more points ahead then there are games left that's when I think you should have it sewn up.If that happens ipswich will be 14 behind with 14 left for them
If we’re 2 points ahead of third place going into the final day…When I play football manager if you're more points ahead then there are games left that's when I think you should have it sewn up.
