Am I right in saying that Mark Robins is now our longest serving manager since leaving the prem?

not taking his first crack with us I can’t remember a manager that lasted 3 seasons. Coleman maybe?

Think so mate. And the best (worlds most obvious comment).
Hope we can keep him if we go up

Going by Wikipedia Coleman was a little bit over 2 years. If you include his first spell Robins is closing in quickly on Strachan's record of the most games managed since Gordon Milne in the 70s/80s

And he has a similar ethos to Milne. As in play the game in the right way.

Yep, 163 games managed in all comps, 196 if you include his first spell. Well batted

Watched the West Ham v Cov 80s league cup semi final highlights of both legs the other night. The similarities between us then and now and our styles of play with young teams was very striking. How we didn't get to League cup final I'll never know.

Really? We played a flat back 4 and two forwards didn’t we?

He deserves a testimonial for 3 years with us.

Yes I thought that, we played some great stuff in that 81 game, though we had some quality players

11th longest serving manager in the EFL at the moment, just behind Mowbray at Blackburn

I can’t believe Coleman was that short. Felt like a fucking age.

having mowbray as a fave is nothing to be smug about, in the space of two years he fucked up our best chance of promotion and then relegated us
