Will you admit Robins has been a success?you are engaging and you bottled it
Seriously who cares what he thinks. He's loving this. This is his life.Will you admit Robins has been a success?
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.
Seriously who cares what he thinks. He's loving this. This is his life.

Was just gonna say- he loves the attention
Love it! Hahaha so anyone that doesn't wish to engage in betting with you is bottling it. You clearly live in cloud cuckoo land. I don't even want to engage with you on here...why would I take a bet with you.? Lunatic
This forum wouldn't be the same without your opinion tbh and everyone's else's. Glad we don't think the same.you clearly do
To be more exact, you said "He looks utterly hopeless to me. Too slow both physically and mentally, and clumsy to boot."I wasn't particularly keen on Gyokeres, and still have some reservations about his end product, but last night was one of the best lone striker performances I've seen at the club in years.
I like Micky Adams but by what yardstick have you come to that conclusion? Win ratio? No. Titles? No. Wembley finals? No. Promotions? No. I think we’ve ran out of yardsticks.Blimey Danny is back again. Technically Micky Adams was the most successful

Fair enough though for acknowledging how well he's playing now. But you weren't alone and there might not be enough pie to go around. Here's a few more quotes about Gyokores from the Sky Blues Talk school of talent spotting.
"He's so cumbersome. I cannot stand Baka but rather have him"
"Useless"
"Another classic waste of budget"
"Looked like he had his shoes on the wrong feet"
"He's not very good is he"
"I think we can safely say we won't be looking to bring him back next season"
"Absolutely woeful player"
" … slow, touch is poor, movement is poor and wins very little in the air."
"He's very poor, thank fuck he's only a loan"
and (always nice when someone expresses an opinion on behalf of everybody else!)
"Let’s be honest, this guy is entirely forgettable, and if he signed somewhere else tomorrow, not a single one of us would care"
Viktor has shown a lot of promise from day one IMO, but had all his strengths ignored and got slaughtered for any errors. Luckily you can't get someone like him down, he's like Tigger.
8 more points than last season and with an established championship team rather than what was essentially a bloated league one team. Again, I like Micky but if you were to suggest that Micky at his peak of managerial ability for us would have done as well last season as MR did with the same team I just wouldn’t buy it.Highest league position.
The thread for those to reflect on rash, negative posts that they have made this season about the players and Robins. Feel free to confess your sins or allow others to nominate you.
ill start by nominating Grendel wanting Robins replaced by Jacket. Feel free Grendel to admit the error of your ways
To be honest he had more points and finished higher so yeah - doesn’t matter if they were established, if I recall we survived by the skin of our teeth by beating Derby 6-2 last home game of the previous season.8 more points than last season and with an established championship team rather than what was essentially a bloated league one team.

Really the shameful comments about Biamou on here was a disgrace.His defence of Biamou was shameful
Think we'd have to examine the financial spend on the basis of the second last sentence.To be honest he had more points and finished higher so yeah - doesn’t matter if they were established, if I recall we survived by the skin of our teeth by beating Derby 6-2 last home game of the previous season.
so yeah - technically Adams is our most successfully manager in the last 20 years given that he finished 28th in the English pyramid, but also on the metric you’d argue Strachan was (19th in the prem) I get the point Grendel was making.
pretty sure Robins spent more money than Adams aswell achieving that position
In terms of raw success (trophies and promotions) Robins is arguably our most successful manager ever
Really the shameful comments about Biamou on here was a disgrace.
No matter how he played he was blamed for every loss, when you have a hatred for someone you just never let go or give credit.
Funny how he was a member along with Robins in the team that has been our most successful for over a decade.
From promotion to keeping us in the Championship.
PUSB.
Sorry but I wont appologise for liking all of our team.
It’s more how far you want to determine success - 8th in the championship is our highest league finish since we dropped from the premier league. Technically making Adams the most successful in the last 20 yearsThink we'd have to examine the financial spend on the basis of the second last sentence.
From memory turnover was around £11M
Wages around £14M and spend was circa £22M. But without checking it might be for a different year , of course we had Wise that season or half of it and no doubt would have got promoted had he joined us fit in that summer.

I’ve explained it. Robins has the quantity but technically Adams has our highest league finish.don’t understand how Adams can be our most successful manager in the last 20 years and Robins be our most successful manager ever

im In the camp that looks at what’s been won for me the clubs most successful managers read:
Sillett - Won our sole major honour
Hill - Took us from bottom to top flight
Robins - Bottom to 2nd division, and a checkatrade - get us promoted to the prem he jumped to 2nd
as Grendel has eluded to in the past - winning in the 4th division doesn’t make you a better manager than say someone who kept us up in the top flight
I’ve explained it. Robins has the quantity but technically Adams has our highest league finish.
I think it's the trajectory really,9 or so wins in a season under Adams would have been receiving stinging criticism.don’t understand how Adams can be our most successful manager in the last 20 years and Robins be our most successful manager ever
again depends on your metric - quality - Adams - highest league positionso which is it- Adams or Robins?
again depends on your metric - quality - Adams - highest league position
quantity - Robins 2 lower league promotions and a minor trophy that Adams didn’t participate in
Personal metric is quantity, I was just saying I see what Grendel was saying.but what is your metric?
but what is your metric?
