I suspect we get the 8k - 10k diehardsRobins has been here 4 years he’s done his part. Maybe just maybe he’s took us as far as he can.
if we get relegated how many do you think we’ll average next season in League One? It won’t be the 17k Boddy is preparing for.
when it comes to culture, you bring in someone who buys into that culture. Brentford do that and by the looks of it so do Barnsley
4-5k midweek against Fleetwood TownI suspect we get the 8k - 10k diehards

I'm wondering if maybe close season they'll consider adding in another coach, maybe Doyle? Might get a bit feisty him and Adi though.
I think we need a forwards coach, even if it's part-time.
And doesnt that tell you something...Norwich, Southampton and Leicester kept their support in League one. Ours are like rats leaving a sinking ship.I suspect we get the 8k - 10k diehards

On Robins. He should see out the season and go. Why would you want to manage a team where the ungrateful bastards that support them are calling for a change at every, and I mean every, opportunity? Ideally I would like Robins to stay and build on his great work but, like Strachan, I suspect anything he does would be doomed to ridicule and that helps nobody.
Personally relegation would not be the end of my world, I go to support Coventry City and have never gone to watch the opposition so it is not critical to me that I will be watching Newcastle United next season or Cheltenham. I would prefer to be in the Championship on the up but would understand that maybe we were punching above our weight and it wasn't to be.
My replacement for Robins would be Ian Evatt, who has turned Bolton around and happens to be from our fair(weather) city.
We go back 9 and 20 years vecuase they were the only times we stuck by a manager passed their sell by date.I think what you are hearing is a very vocal tiny minority, I actually think most Coventry fans understand what we are up against this season. I would like to think the majority are not heard as they realise that our position is either expected or slightly better than expected, so the the managers future isn't on their radar. I think it may only be 3 possibly 4 people on this site that are advocating a change at this exact moment of time. That is really small considering the large membership on the site. They are having to go back 9 and 20 years respectively to find the rare example where we stuck by the manager and it was a bad call.
In our situation even if we are relegated personally I wouldn't be sacking him, however understandbly there will be more asking for it then. I would only see it as a bad call if we didn't make the play offs in league one, which is all most were hoping for last year, when we caused a very pleasant shock.
So for me stick with him relegation or not, if it is relegation give him a chance to get us in the play offs, if he fails then consider change.
Do you not think it’s not punching above our weight to finish above Rotherham, Wycombe and a team in turmoil with a 6 point head start?And doesnt that tell you something...Norwich, Southampton and Leicester kept their support in League one. Ours are like rats leaving a sinking ship.

again, if we were fighting or at least showing like we had an idea what we were doing I’d be ok with it. Currently the team looks rudderless
we have 9 games left. We should be finishing above Rotherham, Wycombe and Sheffield weds.
if we go down it will be a disaster. You’re talking about waiting to see if we don’t come up next season? What if we don’t - then it’s even harder to come back up. We’ve been down that road.
you already know the fickleness of our fanbase. The club cannot afford to go down.
Have a day off. We beat Derby a couple of games ago and Brentford a couple of games before that, hardly rudderless.We go back 9 and 20 years vecuase they were the only times we stuck by a manager passed their sell by date.

I know mate, you have to go back that far because we never stick by our managers and continually sacking them hasn't worked well that often .
Anyway 9 games... 2 wins, 4 draws, 3 defeats
did you defend Slade this much? Surely needed time?
You know what I really hope he proves me wrong. Really Do - happy for you to recall this lack of faith by myself.Have a day off. We beat Derby a couple of games ago and Brentford a couple of games before that, hardly rudderless.

more than happy to admit I’m wrong if Robins keeps us up.

You may call it garbage against Wycombe, I call it another point gained. Yes I would have wanted three but it is what is it is. 4 points from 3 games and why do you base a season on the Luton and Wycombe games?Who we beating, based on last week’s garbage?

You definitely live in scapegoat city my fellow Sky Blue.

Have an @ yourself you tool...
"one team from the Premier League's "Big Six" of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, had made a bid of $10 million for Dike -- currently on loan at English Championship side Barnsley -- that was turned down. "
Source: Orlando rejects Dike bid by English club
Orlando City SC has turned down an offer from an unnamed English team to acquire forward Daryl Dike, a source has confirmed to ESPN.www.espn.co.uk
It's stupid to ask for names, there are a thousand and one perfectly capable managers out there.
Because we went for a big name rather than capable managers. When we had a good one we sacked him for Peter Reid...How come we didn’t manage to find one the last twenty years then?
Think he managed Kidderminster for a bit. Then didn’t he have a heart attack?What became of Thorn? Is he still in football?

Hi mate, I don’t see the part where it says Barnsley are buying him for £20 million?
| No, but you @'d me because some Barnsley lad said they wouldn't be paying much more than £1.5m for him which is clearly bollocks seeing as they've already turned down $10m. |

Why is there a big clamour to get Doyle back as coach?
Doyle wouldn’t work under robins again but i agree the manager the squad are not exactly a mentally strong unit,Robins is bottle jobIt was just an example. Maybe the players have got used to the same faces around the training ground, or the same old routines, and it needs freshening up to get the players fully focused again. Someone of a Doyle style temperament that expects nothing less than 100% may help, plus on the touchline being more animated than MR and haranging officials.
It was Brian Clough who said that if a manager went, the chairman should go with him.How come we didn’t manage to find one the last twenty years then?

Mark Robins has revealed how torn Michael Doyle was about leaving Coventry City.
But the Sky Blues boss insists the midfield legend will be back at the club he calls home the minute he hangs up his boots.
“I had numerous conversations to see where he was at and he was conflicted with how he was feeling. I just tried to help him sort those feelings out and go and play because you can’t turn the clock back.
And when he’s got it out of his system we’ll talk about him coming back and assuming a coaching role at some level."
Said it in Twitter on Saturday, but since James has come in, he's completely stunted Kellys influence on games.
Pre James, Kelly used to control games, but now hes just playing a bit part.
James is the new Joe Cole. Just shoehorned in regardless of his actual impact on the game or how many others in the team it disrupts.
Terrible signing.
