Not worried. Is it really an attractive job? The losing mentality has stunk out the place since the start of last season. A complete rebuild of the squad is required, there's too many players there who are overrated off two good seasons under Wilder and you clearly won't get much time to turn it around as they've already binned a manager with 2 Champ promotions on his CV and a history of turning around poor starts. There doesn't seem to be much Premier League money left to sign new players either.

Think they might go after Daniel Farke anyway.

on leaving Bramall Lane on Saturday I thought that Sheffield United was the job for Robins if he was to leave us, close his home, big club, financial backing.

A quick look on their forum shows there doesn't seem to be any financial backing. They're even questioning if Slav walked because there is no money to spend.

Robins is originally from Ashton in Manchester and his kids and grand kids now live in Leamington & Warwickshire area. He mentioned himself before on CWR.

I think MR will see this season out with us, but I wouldn't be surprised if he went at the end of the season if the right offer came in.
I don't think he would want to abandon us or any other club mid season again.

Sounds like it’s going to be Heckingbottom. Their fans are very underwhelmed

Seems like an appointment based on finances more than anything else. They've only just dropped out of the Prem, surely they could have opted for someone slightly more profile? Or is something going on behind the scenes there?

Does Robins still commute from Ashton to Ryton?

next ones through the ffp tumble drier?....................Derby, Reading, Sheff Utd? couldn't happen to three nicer Clubs, although rumours are Cardiff and Stoke may be having a lean time of it, even with the 365 money, they can't just whack it in anymore. We can but hope!
