Not a big Sisu fan but it's difficult to see how they can be blamed for this. They showed a great deal of foresight bringing Robins in and, if it's correct, in putting a compensation package in place. If Robins decides to go then there is very little Sisu can do about except find another manager of similar calibre.

Huddersfield can afford to buy out Robins' contract. They don't have a lot of money but they also haven't plunged themselves into debt by spending money they don't have.

Says who? Keys? Theman who said take over was done and dusted. SISU made fantastic appointment but you can't bring yourself to admit it.

nothing to do with love for anyone, just common sense. It's up to Robins.

Excellent appointment from SISU. Get over it.

Where do you get this £1million pounds from ??
'Alleged' release clause is said to be 6 figured...as far as i'm aware £1million is seven figured...compensation likely to be nearer to £100,000 than £1,000,000

I think you will find your preferred option was to retain the useless tub of lard that preceded him.

It was announced robins was being recruited. Then the story disappeared off the sports press.

Richard keys, who at the time was doing all he could to destabilise the ownership, said that the number one target had rejected susu.

Robins is then confirmed so keys blurts out Ince was the preferred choice.

Sorry if this ruins your interpretation of events but there is no evidence robins was not the preferred choice.

I joined the forum in September 2011 so once again you let an argument get in the way of factual accuracy.

Do you still think thorn was ahead of his time and Sir Alex was copying his formations?

You mentioned a million in the context of the owners. Why? If there is a release clause they have no alternative to let him talk to a prospective club. Can you comprehend this fairly simple notion and accept this is nothing to do with sisu?

Of course it might just be a Sisu negotiating tactic. Huddersfield may have been asking to speak to him without paying all or part of the six-figure sum - by saying 'No' that would force Huddersfield to cough up or forget it. Yes, the decision ultimately rests with Robins but Sisu do have a track record of seeking to extract maximum financial gain...

... Or maybe they simply want to keep him.

You said Ince was preferred choice. Where did you get that from?

Nope can't stand him either.

I'd like to know where it was stated Ince was the preferred choice. You trot this out every time someone credits SISU for appointing the best manager we've had for years.

As I said earlier, rather than admitting they made a good choice you'd rather waste your energy on some made-up nonsense story.

He'll go quite now. He has no answer. It was made up by keys in his bid to de-stabilise the club.
