Nope. He's got the same colour blood as the rest of us. Just remind me which shirt colour Forest play in ?

Hopefully he is wise enough to remember the last time he left us, and then had to start again at Scunthorpe (which didn't go all that well)
I see no reason why we couldn't challenge for promotion this or next season, with what he has built here, team spirit, coaching staff etc.

Maybe he’s a become a better manager since then? First stint was only about 30 games

Don’t agree, Sheffield United have the foundations of a Premier League club, we don’t. I couldn’t begrudge him a move there

What foundation do Sheffield United have we don’t ?

What is the meaning of a 'big club'?
Fan base/attendances/number of season ticket holders?
Historic honours?
Large modern stadia?
State of the art training facilities?
Shedloads of money?

All of the above perhaps, I don't know myself.

I think they beat us on all of them.
However, it is true that they've become a bit of a shambles recently and it of a management graveyard.

I’m sure they could offer him a bigger salary than us and also a bigger budget in January for signings.

Would probably be better off for 6 months to a year before they moved on again, then would end up worse off.

It's fair to say MR has done an amazing job with us, but would he be tempted if a club the size of Notts Forest came sniffing around with bundles of cash ?
Personally i hope that he learned his lesson first time round, with failure at Huddersfield and Scunthorpe proving that the grass definitely isn't always greener !
Also, for some reason he just seems to have an affinity with our club, and the results...well they speak for themselves.
I don't think he'd be offered a job in the Premier League, but should we worry about a 'big team' in the Championship attempting to steal him ?

No chance Robins has Sky Blue blood running through his veins. Oh hang on a minute

Not a chance.
Why would he leave a club that is clearly on an upward trajectory?
The grass is not always greener, as he discovered when he went to Huddetsfield Town

In fairness says they looked at buying a stake, but doesn't look like they did (from that at least).

He gave them a £3million loan, decided not to buy into the club formally.

Sheffield United received £3m Bin Laden loan, court hears

United's co-owners are currently locked in a High Court battle for control of the newly-promoted club
www.independent.co.uk
This is proving to be far harder work than it should be...

I wonder what his text game is like.

Mrs Robins: 'We've got the house all to ourselves tonight x'

Robins: 'So?'

Robins would be stupid to jump ship. Cov is the perfect bubble of expectations, adoration and control for him.

Think he wants to finish the project at our historic club and believe he's not going anywhere.
