He absolutely does.

If Nathan Jones can get a Premier league job then so can Robins.

I am a bit concerned about Norwich taking him this season, Dean Smith is under a bit of pressure there.

Robin's will always be the king at this club.

He has way too much goodwill here.

He will be dead man walking waiting for the sack elsewhere. Like 90% of other managers.

Was it 8 wins in 45? Other clubs don’t get that as they don’t trust them and are impatient. There aren’t many managers who’d still have a job on that run.
He finds a way time and time again to reinvent the team and go again

That’s the skill

He’s our Fergie. Just a perfect match between club and manager.

Exactly. We deserve credit for that. Not once have there been any serious calls for his head. The odd flouncy post on Facebook doesn't count.

Elsewhere things can get poisonous very quickly after a few bad results. We've never stopped singing his name. We've shown incredible loyalty, understanding and patience. Couple that with our passion and vocal backing and we're an unstoppable force

Lovely to see but .... hmmm. Maybe I'm reading too much into the body language but Gyok didn't look happy or interested when McFadz went to celebrate with him. And at the end, you can see him having a private chat with McFadz as they walk away from the fans.

Now hopefully, he's pissed because he didn't get the hattrick he deserved. Or he was unhappy McFadz didn't pass to him when Captain Marvellous went on his Oggy-esque rampage forward But compared to Tuesday when he was happy to point to the ground and tell Singers Corner that this was his house / he's staying at the club / he had a dodgy Balti the night before. Just seems a dramatic change in attitude.

I think you're reading too much into it - he was probably annoyed not to have scored that header.

Great comparison to be fair. Ironic that he saved his job and learnt from him.

Defo something in longevity and sticking with your manager through the bad times (so long as they're not a total basket case).

For all their faults (and there's many), getting MR in twice has probably been their best decisions.

He deserves his shot at the PL, but surely it needs to be with us?
I know there’s no guarantees we will get there this year, but IF Ashley does do the deals we hope he will, we must have the best chance for years.

Robin's has done remarkably well and long may it continue, but don't underestimate the importance of Vivash to his success. they are a team and should he ever go then Vivash would go with him. i just hope he stays and see's through his job by getting all the way up from league 2 and back to the premiership. My lord he would be a God around here! The truth is I'm backing him to do it. It may come sooner than you think if Ashley gets the club by the January window.

Football League paper can be brilliant but also absolutely shite.

Look at these ratings and comments...

Apparently Hamer gave the ball away and was booed. Bidwell 6? Sheaf 6???

He's done a great job at Luton twice. Nothing wrong with taking a bigger job when it comes.

Luton prob won't be able to offer him a shit at prem let alone stay in it like soton can.

Was that loyalty before or after “I’ve got sky blue blood” said a week before joining Huddersfield…
