Just a thought on the statistics side. Has a manager ever taken a team from league 2 all the way to the premier league before? Assuming we win and Robins does it will he be a first?
Eddie Howe but he left and rejoined In league 1Just a thought on the statistics side. Has a manager ever taken a team from league 2 all the way to the premier league before? Assuming we win and Robins does it will he be a first?

John Toshack did with Swansea I think
Eddie Howe isn’t one of them anyway, he left then went back.There are 4 others other than Eddie Howe

Compared to the others I’d argue that Robins has faced more off-field crap than the rest, probably combined actually
I’m going to say.. Dave Bassett, Jimmy Sirrell, John Toshack and Dave Bowen? The other couple left then went back so I don’t think you can count themWho are the rest?

I don’t think Jimmy Sirrell did it. One is a slight cheat howe style but it answers Tony’s question
god knows then, but if there are only 4 who’ve done it in the history of English football, that pretty much speaks volumes for what Robins has done. It’s impressive enough to list what he’s done but adding “doing something only 4 other managers have ever achieved”- for me that’s beyond legend status stuff
Kenny Jackett?Who are the rest?
Kenny Jackett?
Who are the rest?
or Tony Mowbray apparently
it’s great that some people say Hill, Sillett, Robins and so on, it’s a great debate. What I don’t get- as comical as it is- is the attempt to downplay what Robins has done due to some strange personal grudge
You said there where 4 so you obviously know. Why ask or are you trying to be sarky on purpose?
Souness took a team from the bottom division to the top?Well I thought the football gurus of Tony and ROS would know.
theres 6 including Souness and Howe I believe - one of them is very well known
I said he’d signed for us because he was rebuilding his career, you called me a moron and declared that it was a scoop for SISU as he was a premier league quality manager. I like most enjoyed the football he had us playing and the hope he gave to the fans when he initially arrived and for the majority of his first full season and gave him the deserved credit he earned for doing that . I remember the trust asking questions in an open letter pre season before the start of his final season with us questioning his decision to sell Vincelot to buy Sordell. An approach I welcomed but you got angry about even though it was the obvious question to ask and ultimately proved the right question too. When he resigned I said it was the right thing to do, gave him credit for doing so and not taking a penny while doing it. I seem to remember you then went on to praise the appointment of Slade. Which I found very underwhelming.I don’t understand the Mowbray thing - I wanted him sacked - I’d look what your new mate tony said about him
Ah- Graham Taylor

Tony you didn’t go to hardly any games
The Trust asking questions - good god
How would you know?
The most games you saw in a season was standing on a hill at Sixfiekds - sorry Suxfiekds - where you disparaged genuine fans entering the ground
We all know it
In amongst the arguing, can you explain the Souness reference as I googled and I can’t see that he took a team from the fourth division to the first? Taylor was an obvious one and I missed that one completely
The most embarrassing thing about this post is if it was true someone who apparently doesn’t goes to games still understands more than you and gets more right than you.Tony you didn’t go to hardly any games

Still, what else have you got. You can’t argue me on the points I’ve highlighted because I’m 100% correct whereas your record is you’ve always been proven to be wrong.
You’re the worst type of fan, you’re clueless yet somehow convinced that you’re right, you’re only happy when we’re losing to the point that I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re the only fan in the country who leaves early in a sulk when your team is winning.
Tony you backed every trust protest to remove the clubs owners. It was one catastrophic choice after another.
You even made bizarre claims you knew Callum Wilson was a star player in the making having never seen him play.
You never have any posts on match day threads other than I seem to recall claiming lee Burge was a quality keeper and RCC wasn’t but a year before you said the opposite
You have no opinion on the club on match days, it players, it’s the signings. You spent your entire time on politics (having been a Tory boy and UKIP boy on there) - no one cares about your views on football as you have none.
I’ve always found it pretty odd in truth you’ve always loved a protest but never matches
is all this stuff really that important?
Is it Graham Taylor?
