Why would it shock you ? He's Achieved more in the last 7 years than almost every manager in the EFL

I don't necessarily mean the current position in the table, I mean stature of club. I would think he could do better than Hull. Just my opinion, of course.

I think hull are a good club , a very good club these days .. the problem is their owner might not give robins time to make his mark

Well, that's what I mean really. Robins has had experience of poor owners, so why would he jump back into the fire again?

He has only succeeded under adversity - thats why - when given tools to achieve and with expectation he fails

Because that's when he had success?

If he went in at a team throwing money about, well you can see what happens.

A penalty kick away from the PL and a poor VAR decision away from an FA Cup final?

I'd worry more about the delusion that he's going to stroll in at a Top Championship club. (as of now in the table)

Without a win against Wolves and an unexpected comeback against Man U it was a failure as it was going backwards in the league

He's more than capable of working at the top end of the division as he's done it for the last 2 years ?

Which is what I said earlier. It's weird. People saying that WE'RE still going on about Robins. The hypocrisy on here is pretty breathtaking.

Oh OK. So without the stuff that WASN'T a failure, it WAS a failure. Gotcha. "Unexpected comeback". LOL.

Well there has to be a top championship job available in the first place doesn't there ? Most teams at the top don't sack their managers

More internet points at stake, are there? I don't care who offers him a job or if he never gets another job. Lampard is our manager now. I'm just trying to reiterate that I don't think he was a failure at Coventry City. I think if we had a survey of fans then you'd be in the minority. Still, bookmark away.

The goal for the season was to challenge for the playoffs and we finished nine points short - it was obviously a failure

The cup run was great fun, but it was a literal sideshow and highly unlikely to be repeated given how favourable the draw was

If he was only offered a job by Fleetwood Town that would not change one single thing about what he achieved with us.

After hull the team had nothing to play for , finishing 9 points off is meaningless may aswell have been 20 .. king wanted a cup run and he got one at the expense of the league .. finishing 9th was one of our best finishes in 25 years

It was a good season

it would be ok if they said “he did well but I never took to the bloke”, it’s the making things up and lies I don’t get.

The discussion was about if he would or should go to a club better than Hull.

Yet again you jump in on about unrelated nonsense.

I think if you’re a club with realistic promotion chances there are probably managers with better CVs at that level you’d go to before Robins.

Don't see Hull and their owner as a good fit for Robins tbh. I can see him being a good fit for one of the League 1 clubs that should really be in the Championship. Bolton, Charlton etc...

I think that would be a better career move for him. Hull seem to operate quite erratically.

We had nothing to play for because we’d had a crap start to the season.

King may have wanted a cup run (who doesn’t?) but no-one was under any illusions that the league performance would decide whether Robins stayed in the job. Hence why we had a nice cup run and then sacked Robins a few months later regardless.

I'm not too sure you realise what you are trying to jump in on, are you? Who is saying Hull are a bad club?

Just weird trying to post over and over without really saying anything.

We finished 6 points worse off than the season before , in terms of league performance we practically stalled .. but the cup run was incredible .. it wasn't a bad season at all up until hull we were probably on a better trajectory than the playoff season
