I’m really not convinced he’ll get a few years to make it happen.He deserves the time, and belief to get it right and he will, if we stick with him he will get us to the prem in the next few years
Who in their right mind would sack him? There'd be a lynching.I’m really not convinced he’ll get a few years to make it happen.
Whatever happens I think we need to stick with Robins, look what he’s done for this club with nothing to work with. From a 20 year downward spiral, to two promotions (one of which while not playing at our home ground) and a playoff push after being bottom in October. He deserves the time, and belief to get it right and he will, if we stick with him he will get us to the prem in the next few years

Last time round it was a slogan without much action behind it. This time round it seems like an actual shift in the whole club’s strategy.
The Premier League Packages, the transfer fees loaded with big incentives, the temporary stadium deal, the contract re-negotiations…everything at the club seems geared towards winning now, and working out how to pay for it later.
We are all in.
There are serious questions to ask about what the plan is if things go wrong (and in some cases, they surely will). There are plenty of teams who have tried and failed to do similar. But just a few weeks after botching a promotion that even our most optimistic fan would have admitted we were not quite ready for, we now have one of the league’s best midfielders, a genuine European wonderkid at wing-back, a strike force currently valued at up to £15 million, and O’Hare waiting in the wings for the second half of the season. No more excuses - either this team is seriously legit, or heads have to roll.
The one big asset I haven’t mentioned is Robins. He has the complete trust of the fans and (you assume) the owner, but in a lot of ways this will be his toughest season with us, because of the expectation alone. I believe he will find a way to make it work, even if that’s not right away. I can well imagine fans being more impatient than me though, and I have to wonder if an owner who’s shoved so many chips into the pot will have the same patience.
But it’s all quite exciting isn’t it.
Should have given him a 2 year contract thenThere won’t be anything - I’d guess he will have the next two seasons to get promoted
Yea but we have that every year if we don't win for 3 matchesIf we’re in the bottom half of the table at Christmas then I guarantee there will be fans on here saying he should go.
The money being spent now ups the pressure drastically on Robins though
True, but it's not like doug has dug deep , the money came from a player sale .The money being spent now ups the pressure drastically on Robins though
Absolutely. He's the hero that's had to work on a shoestring budget to work magic. Different pressure now. We all hope and think he'll pull it off.The money being spent now ups the pressure drastically on Robins though

DK deserves credit for reinvesting so much of the Gyokeres money into the playing squad, and it’s Robins’ work that’s enabled him to get the money in the first place, but I don’t think he’s going to give anyone a free pass for very long if it’s not used wisely.True, but it's not like doug has dug deep , the money came from a player sale .

The big questions will be are Thomas, Lab, Binks and Milan better than Doyle, McNally and BNC? Are Simms and Wright better than Yok? Will Hamer stay? Will Wilson have another brilliant year and can Fadz pull another great year out of the hat on ageing legs? Big shoes to fill. No doubt, more depth in the squad but some development needed maybe. Always said, we need a bit of luck this year to go up. We need luck with injuries and all the players progressing. If O'Hare comes back as good as before and the others step up we should be ok. Our defence kept us alive last year and we need to get them playing as a unit.
But what then,new manager.DK deserves credit for reinvesting so much of the Gyokeres money into the playing squad, and it’s Robins’ work that’s enabled him to get the money in the first place, but I don’t think he’s going to give anyone a free pass for very long if it’s not used wisely.
First season, most fans understand that the huge turnover of players means they may take time to gel. Lynching far too strong a word, but MR has more credit in the bank with me than to be demanding promotion, set against PL parachute payments. If DK only gave him 2 seasons, he'd be roundly vilified.There won’t be anything - I’d guess he will have the next two seasons to get promoted
We all know there are a few flat earthers sprinkled around this forumIf we’re in the bottom half of the table at Christmas then I guarantee there will be fans on here saying he should go

The years of forward momentum have flown by. The misery dished out before that was horrible.For me it's the fact that after that playoff final loss it looked like we had missed our chance and that next season we would fall backwards after years of forward momentum.
But here we are 2 months later and I feel like perhaps we have a better team than we did then now and that's so exciting and I'm thankful for the situation after thinking I would be devastated for a lot longer
If we lose tomorrow you mean.If we’re in the bottom half of the table at Christmas then I guarantee there will be fans on here saying he should go.
