Mail says Steven Pressley. Adkins, Coyle, Robinson and barker also all linked.

Is the Mirror ever been right about anything before? I reckon not, plus with Nigel Adkins jobless we should be safe to assume Robins will see the season out here.

Its not rocket science and not unexpected that he will be linked with every vacant managers job from the championship down.
So its good because Cov is getting noticed again but makes me nervous to the opportunity of potentialy losing him !!!
Lets hope Sisu don't want to cash in on him !!

This will be a re-curring theme ,the real danger of anything happening on this front will be through the Summer .If we don't make it up first go there will be budgetry questions to solve which may not match MR's levels of Ambition.

Wrong, they're getting Nigel Adkins. The caretaker manager says they're lining him up

he will be going to oldham tomorrow ! people need to get a grip the only way hes going anywhere if a high fly championship side or a prem team come in for him which isnt likely when hes only 6 months into a job

personally i think MR seems relatively loyal and is enjoying his time at CCFC. Also he should get a buzz tomorrow night with 30,000 sky blue fans behind him and the team.
My only concern is when another club tries to test Sisu's resolve with a bid for him.
At this current moment MR is probably the clubs most valuable asset !!!

Huddersfield are doing well with their caretaker management team so I wouldn't be surprised if they stick with them rather than go for a big name

I couldn't be less anxious! MR is a man of his word, and someone who has all his priorities sorted in my opinion. He has made Coventry City an exciting club to follow again, and it can only get better.

he won't leave before the season is out, it's at the end of the season i think we'll have a big big problem keeping him

MR is not shy about coming forward about his views, he is clearly content at the moment but if a lower prem team or high champ team came in for him i think he may fold. The guy is quality and steadily getting a good reputation for being a no nonsense manager (in these leagues anyway)

Sounds perverse, but isn't it nice that we are doing so well that our manager is being constantly linked with other jobs?

Love him though, we should extend his contract!

When we get these incidents of other clubs chasing our manager or better players it demonstrates how important it is for the fans to show the potential at CCFC. Our tremendous away support has been a credit this year and the expected full house tomorrow will all go to show what could be achieved here with some success. The supporters need to follow this up with continued loyalty to the end of the season and even if at that point we haven't achieved our goals, our assets may be slower to want to move with the higher possibilities for 2013/14 here In Coventry.

1. Huddersfield have a high chance of being relegated and we have an outside chance of promotion.
2. We are a far bigger club with much bigger support.
3. I think he is actually enjoying it here.

If MR wants to go there is a much bigger job around the corner for him if he wins the JPT and gets us promoted.

Though it pains me to declare any superiority of judgement Fisher and Waggott can boast over anyone; even I readily agree with this one!

Don't wish to be complacent, but you'd like to think that he is enjoying the opportunity, and his relative success, at ccfc. It is not as if we are a small club with limited potential and ambition. He could go as far as he likes with ccfc, until a properly large established prem club comes knocking.

If we achieve success this year and next, we could be looking at a very different financial situation in approx three years. Hopefully he will be here to capitalise on it, but, if we do lose him, the club needs to be prepared for it - by creating an infrastructure, like WBA, that will support the replacement of managers, without destabilising the club.

We should expect interest in Robins considering hes doing a great job with us. He isnt going anywhere yet.

Should the club tie Robins down to a long term deal, he originally signed for 3 years but I am wondering whether it would be in our best interests to extend it already

Can't see Robins moving on....just yet. My worry would be if a big northern job came up for grabs, somewhere like Leeds United maybe Sheffield United. Mind you SISU could put a big spoke in that wheel by offering MR an improved and longer contract. Would be an investment aswell.

This time next year would be when I'd consider it wise to extend it, just look at Pardew/Mancini after last season

One thing this club desperately needs is stability in it's management, someone to build an empire, after years of sacking managers every 12/18months be ironic if we allow another club to pinch this guy. As i said earlier this one's down to SISU extend his contract and make his position more secure and i take the Pardew and Mancini examples but sometimes you have to gamble a bit.
