You’d fit in well there. They’ve got nothing positive to say about Coventry either.

lay it on the line- do you think Robins has been/ is one of our best managers?

Compared to the last 20 years clearly - before that how can you actually compare

Does that mean we can’t compare our players now to our best players from the 60’s and 70’s?

can you? Would he have kept us in the top flight in the 80’s when the club were in the depths? I doubt it

Obviously your new 'last 20 years' argument is just the latest chapter of your near daily nonsense but if Robins is the most successful manager of the last 20 years - then surely it's been a mistake to call for a taxi for the last 4 seasons? Agreed?

Laughable. Just admit you have been wrong for the last 4 seasons.
It's beyond embarrassment at this point.

I already knew he doesn’t like Robins, but I was just interested to see what deflection methods would be employed when asked the question

By your argument technically by league position Don Howe was more successful than Jimmy Hill. It's a miracle we don't have a statue to Don Howe outside the CBS Arena isn't it? Even you can see how stupid your argument is - surely?

Exactly - also if Robins doesn’t recall Kelly with his extreme pace in CDm ahead of sheaf Danny believes Robins is tactically inept

As well as the standard measures of a manager- wins, points, league positions, trophies and so on, the measure of a good manager is the ability to produce better results than your squad suggests you should be able to, longevity, ability to improve the connection between the club and the fans, to be competitive when faced with opposition who have far bigger budgets, deal with adverse situations without performances being affected, ability to change tactically when needed- amongst other things.

Robins ticks all of those boxes & then some, there isn’t really any credible argument for him not being brilliant for us.

The year we won league 1 it he wanted a bet with me around Lincoln at home time before Christmas that we won't finish top 8. Lol

I told him I already got £100 quid on us to win it!

We practically went on to win every game after that. Lol

Slagged off Allen in the past but he looked very good as an attacking midfielder as opposed to his former deeper role. Moore was also someone i was unsure of but it looks like he’s found his gloves again!

Exactly he wanted me to bet against one of our own players last week (Kelly ) having a good season. Then he called me a bottler for not wanting to take the bet. I would never want to bet against one of our own players or the team. Or as you say with him.
