If MR goes, who do want in? (1 Viewer)

Mucca Mad Boys · Feb 12, 2013

For me, go all out for Nigel Adkins, if he don't go to Blackpool, he might have to start all over.

Lets old out for Brendan Rogers though

Danceswithhorses · Feb 12, 2013

No chance of Nigel Adkins...you think he'd drop 2 divisions to join a club with no money to spend...seriously ??

PVA · Feb 12, 2013

Adkins is the standout candidate but let's be honest that's not going to happen is it.

I hope we would use some of the compensation to get a currently employed manager who is doing a good job elsewhere.

I just hope we don't end up with some of the out of work has beens that were linked pre MR (Phil Brown, Paul Ince etc).

One out of work manager I might take, apart from Adkins, would be Simon Grayson.

torchomatic · Feb 12, 2013

He won't go.

On a Huddersfield forum most of them are not best pleased at the thought of Robins coming but are happy to see the back of Grayson!

I think it would be the end of the road for a lot of City fans to be honest. MR has offered hope and a decent brand of football and I think we all know that under him even if we don't make it this year, next season we will be challenging and ST sales and interest will reflect that. He leaves then we will be back to square one..........broke, still run by SISU, players joining Robins at his new club etc...............It okay though David Bell will still have a decade left on his new contract !

He's got an impressive CV - there's a link to it on another thread.

Otis · Feb 12, 2013

Do you think this could work in our favour with Robins asking for more backing from our board in the transfer market? A back me or let me go plea?

He might not even get the Blackpool job, and they've got no money either.

He won't get a job in the prem, so he might have to start all over.

I'd hope this is the case.

For me, Huddlesfield isn't the job for MR, he should hold out for something better.

What with SISU.....................they'd let him go of course !!

TommyAtkins · Feb 12, 2013

This happens every time - some unrealistic expectations.

Last time, fans seemed to think that Redknapp and Billy Davies would want the job, when clearly they never had any interest at all. Dennis Wise turned the job down as well

Adkins is unlikely to be a contender. Nor is Tisdale. Grayson might be.

Being realistic, the applicants are likely to be:

Bobby Gould
Chris Wilder
Paul Ince
Phil Brown
Peter Reid
Perhaps Megson
Perhaps Abbott

Tommy, you're a very bad man!!!

Maybe but it doesn't rule out being accurate.

I know you are a Tisdale fan and you would be right : he is a talented manager by all accounts.

But I doubt if he would want to come to Cov.

It's a shame: SISU always wanted Robins but allowed themselves to be pressured into appointing Thorn by vocal fans.

If Robins leaves, I am fairly sure that all the names I mentioned above will apply.

Grayson has a 100% promotion record from League 1 (Blackpool, Leeds, Huddersfield).

Not bad.

Agreed. As I suggested , he might well be a possible interested party. Perhaps the best of a bad bunch

Donnie Brasco · Feb 12, 2013

He's going nowhere.

ccfc92 · Feb 12, 2013

Anything confirmed yet?

Gary Johnson for me.

Gets the best out if freebies and loanees.

Thorn as his scout

wal3590 · Feb 12, 2013

why are we being so negative?

Can I point you in the direction of this...

http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/i_love_this_club__robins_778259/index.shtml

He is not a bullshitter we know that.. Hes going nowhere!

skyblueinBaku · Feb 12, 2013

Psgm1 has a dislike for MR that borders on contempt. It'll be interesting to see who he would like as a replacement...............

As for me, I don't think MR will go.

WestEndAgro · Feb 12, 2013

Graham Westley !

Uwe Rosler please. Would rather keep Robins though.

That'd be the final straw for me.

Diehard Si · Feb 12, 2013

I don't believe he will go, but if he does that would be the final straw for me.

Can I ask why?

He is not bigger than the club itself, and if he isn't fully committed to the cause then it's better if he goes.

Ashdown1 · Feb 12, 2013

I think all of this is unwarranted speculation but I haven't seen a single name on the proposed candidate list that would inspire me to part with more money next summer !!

I DO believe he will go, although I hope I'm proved wrong, people at the telegraph on twitter seem to think he is.
