Robin’s Take On The Game (1 Viewer)

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

How about “ Coventry are top for a reason. They are a very good side with some very good players. For long periods I thought we matched them and if anything had the best chance of the match but that’s football and we will recharge over the international break and look to kick on again.”

You don’t have to criticise your own team to give credit to the opposition.

We have never had so much praise as we are having at the moment from the football community. It would not have looked at all odd if Mark had been another of those voices.

For those of you that can’t bare the idea that Mark might be a little bit in the wrong can I suggest you remind yourself of his usual post match comments when he was our manager …

We would hear most matches “ these are a top top side by the way “ “ xxx had done a fabulous job at this club” “ they have a team full of power that can really hurt you “

We would hear comments like this week in week out for years. Yet yesterday and he couldn’t find it in him to do it …..

I think he's still hurting that Doug King sacked him, at the time Doug King did the right thing.

King was getting dogs abuse at the time though, people saying he wanted Robins out, hadn’t supported him etc. I can understand why he wanted to get some of the stuff out there and by doing so it probably helped to settle things down a bit quicker, took a bit of pressure off Lampard. Agree that it was unfair that Robins couldn’t respond but sounds like the Adi/Robins stuff was true.

But that's what you have to put up with if you want to be a prominent figure or owner. I'm sure MR/AV etc are subject to NDA's as part of their payoff, so I'm surprised King thought he could come out and reveal things that the people involved legally can't.

Even if they're true it's poor form and a surefire way to have people lose trust in you, thinking you might throw them under the bus the second you come under a modicum of criticism. Just feels really thin skinned.

This is really turning into another embarrassing thread .
We won
Robins backs his team and gives a dour interview, which he has done many times when with us .
Cov fans take offence at previous legendary manager
Time to move on

I didn't expect us to arrive back at 'Robins didn't deserve to be fired' while we're playing the best football I've seen in my life and top of the league. But here we are.

No more weird than people who wanted him out almost from the get go and continuously through out his time here though.
As a consequence they can't bring themselves to acknowledge or praise the man for what he did for us
