dont no if anyone has seen this morning but mark magic robins has gone to really short prices and odds on favorite for the huddersfield job with several bookies.now one bookie i could say there guessing but several im now worried

Otis · Feb 11, 2013

Que sera, sera. Whatever will be will be.

It's out of our hands, so I wouldn't worry too much if I was you.

I don't think he'll leave, but if he does there's nowt we can do about it.

Mick Scoop · Feb 11, 2013

Why would he want to leave the Sky Blues for Udders field? Seems MR is the bookies favourite for every managerial vacancy they must be making a fortune from these mugs who think he is going anywhere.

Otis · Feb 11, 2013

He's obviously going to be constantly linked with everyone isn't he. Not worth worrying over.

LJC_CCFC · Feb 11, 2013

Huddersfield will probably appoint mark Lillis who has been their caretaker as under him they've beaten palace and drawn with Leicester and Cardiff

cmoncity · Feb 11, 2013

just seems odd pretty much every bookie has him at odds on fave

rupert_bear · Feb 11, 2013

He will be linked with just about any northern based manager job, Manchester City could be vacant soon !

TrueSkyBlueLiam · Feb 11, 2013

F**k the bookies. He's been odds on favourite before and stayed and he's already turned down approaches from Donny and Blackpool, so stop worrying guys, he's here for the long run

ccfc92 · Feb 11, 2013

He doesn't seem the kind of person to jump ship. The only time he's left a club, is Barnsley, cus the board was messing him about, so fair play to him. I'm glad we don't have a yes man.

Houdi · Feb 11, 2013

Yes Robins may turn out to be a great manager,but fans claiming he is the best Manager since Jimmy Hill,seem ridiculously premature.The jury still remains firmly out.In the first few weeks of 2013,at home we have lost and not even scored against Shrewsbury,Crewe and Yeovil,hardly 3 giants of the game.Last season we were playing and losing to sides like Southampton,West Ham,QPR and Thorn was castigated by everyone,yet now we struggle to beat team like Carlisle and the reaction is stangely muted.
Hopefully long term Robins will prove a great manager for us,but winning at Stevenage and Hartlepool with all due respects,is not quite as difficult as trying to win at partisan ground like Elland Road or the New Den.

More money and the real prospect of Championship football next season?

You must have been looking at another forum. Most were lapping up defeat after defeat. Actually thorn has been described on here as the best since Hill.

I am sure that he was also being touted by some as the future England manager.

Robins met delegates from Huddersfield at the weekend.

Apparently he is not enamoured with SISU.

Real · Feb 11, 2013

I'm glad our manager is being linked with jobs and is odds on, because it means he's doing a good job here, and long may it continue.

Stevearcade · Feb 11, 2013

It's not Robins, but CCFC. We've had a rotating door for some time in the managerial role. If I were a bookie, seeing how he has shown promise as a manager and that City have had so many managers in the last decade, I'd put him odds on for any move. But I think he wants to prove his worth by getting us promoted and settled into the the Championship. I mean look where we were when he took charge. If he succeeds in making us a serious team and stable in the Championship by this time next year, that's a hell of an impressive thing to put on your CV. Then he can get head hunted by a premiership team, I think that's his career game plan. Until then, unless things go belly up, I see him hanging around. (Or rather, I hope that's his game plan and he hangs around)

I wonder what the chances are of this being utter bullshit.

He wouldn't have any reason to complain about SISU, since he has been in charge here he has been backed by them and been able to bring in several signings.

And luckily enough our board never ever messes anyone about, so we can all breathe easily.

Bull shit, who could fall out with SISU.

Totally trustworthy

There is more chance of a Pope using twitter then retiring......

Right, time for the news

ohitsaidwalker king power · Feb 11, 2013

I like him.. he's done a great job and I hope he stays.. but if he wants to go... then let him go.....no point if he's not with us 100%.

ccfc92 · Feb 11, 2013

why are we even considering this as fact :facepalm:

lordsummerisle · Feb 11, 2013

If he does go, there is this brilliant manager available now.

Just look at his CV.

big decision time for you know who,
fingers out of the proverbial & time to quell all,
a statement from the duplicitious fraternity beckons

dongonzalos · Feb 11, 2013

Many will disagree.

However I think if we paid our rent and stopped publicly shouting about haemorrhaging hundreds of thousands every month.

I can't help but think Doncaster and Huddersfield would think they could take the manager if a team just out the top six.

Who can attract 30000 fans.

Yes Huddersfield are in a division above. However surely Robins would go with the potential

Just think the football world see us as a club in financial melt down

No the bookies just make it up as they have not a clue

georgehudson · Feb 12, 2013

an immediate rebuttal should come,
however we'll have to wait for a considered reply,
TF to SW, 'how can we dress this one up'
JS 'what's it worth to us then ?'
probably the most vital decision to make since their 'rescue?' of the club,
we wait

Funniest thing I've read in a while! I'm surprised they're not claiming Thorn signed Tommy Hutchison,Ian Wallace,Dion Dublin and Robbie Keane too! Not surprised some describe AT as our best manager since Jimmy Hill if he was as good as described here...That's what I call 'spin' ;-)

Sky Blue Pete · Feb 12, 2013

Brilliant article

torchomatic · Feb 12, 2013

I'm not worried. I think he'll stay.

The thing is we should all be flattered that our manager, the manager of Coventry City, is highly regarded by other clubs. We've not had that for a while have we?

sw88 · Feb 12, 2013

When was the last time we had a manager 'poached' from us and didnt leave through being sacked?

I'll wait for the apology when he is announced up there today or tomorrow. :facepalm:

Great, so you'd rather this not be "utter BS" to prove a point.

I was unsure that Huddlesfield could afford a 6 figure sum.

WestEndAgro · Feb 12, 2013

Robins now 1/10 clear favourite by a mile on "The sack race"
