SkyBlue_Bear83 · Sep 19, 2012

Press conference coming at 6pm

jon92 · Sep 19, 2012

well see how long til people get on his backs? give it til saturday?

Paxman II · Sep 19, 2012

It's going to be very interesting how the players will now respond in the next match. 3 years gives some stability so players will need to perform. They also know Robins signed with every intent of being backed in the loan market and to do his utmost in acheiving promotion.

Stand by your beds chaps!

SkyBlueJot · Sep 19, 2012

Good Luck Mark Robins, I really hope you can unite the playing staff, the supporters and prove the sceptics wrong.

It's not going to be easy!

PUSB!

Skybluestu82 · Sep 19, 2012

Very promising that he has been working with the premier league as club support manager, working alongside Paul lambert and tony pulis on youth development side for the prem.

This has to be one of the most important points of is signing!!

mr_monkey101 · Sep 19, 2012

best managerial appointment since eric black (yes i know how that turned out....)

we all need to support him and the players and treat this all as a new start for all (even david bell )

What took him so long? Not impressed with the delay.

Gaz · Sep 19, 2012

Really happy with this news.
I think he is the best we could have realistically got.
Also slapped a tenner on him @ 12-1

Probably just for the media in general. I doubt we're big enough news to get live billing at 6pm on SSN-or even CWR!

I think it will only be on CWR and not ssn.
Could be wrong though.

Sky Blues · Sep 19, 2012

It's been widely acknowledged on here what a huge challenge Mark Robins has ahead of him to turn this club around, so please can we give him some time and support to do it and not jump on his back the moment we lose one or two games. Good luck Mr Robins, you'll need it!

kevinleftpeg · Sep 19, 2012

Good luck Mark. SORT OUT our players & give us our pride back asap. TAKE NO PRISONERS!

sw88 · Sep 19, 2012

Harrah! Let's hope no one has told him he was second choice

usskyblue · Sep 19, 2012

Bang goes his sackless record

scroobiustom · Sep 19, 2012

:welcome: Hi Mark Robbins :wave: Bye Kevin Killbane

CovLis86 · Sep 19, 2012

Best of luck mark. Hope the best for you and my beloved club. Wish all the success! MARK ROBBINS SKY BLUE ARMY!

Lord_Nampil · Sep 19, 2012

Great appointment we need to back him now! Forget the start of the season, our first match is on saturday! and i am interested to hear what connections he built up in his time working for the premier league!!!

Personally I think this is as bad an appointment as the new England manager Hodgson. Both play pedantic, defensive, boring football that plays not to lose rather than playing to win and both are imo not up to the job.
He might keep us from relegation (which might or might not be a good thing depending on your long-term point of view), but I don't think he will do anything more than that, especially with the "backing" of SISU to "support" him.
Oh well, best of luck mate - you're going to damn well need it!

Pretty sure fulham and west brom fans will disagree with that.

sky_blue_up_north · Sep 19, 2012

Just confirmed its defo on CWR, 18:00.... and if he lasts 3 years he will be our most successful manager in recent times.

Wow, I think Hodgson is the best England manager since Sir Alf!

Whys Hodgson such a bad choice for England? I'm quite happy with him at the helm, as I am with Robins coming here

DazzleTommyDazzle · Sep 19, 2012

Welcome and good luck!!

Now I don't want to appear unrealistic, but what are the chances of everyone agreeing to give him until at least Xmas before demanding that he's sacked???

ashbyjan · Sep 19, 2012

Knowing our fans it will be 4.45 on Saturday before someone calls for his sacking

stupot07 · Sep 19, 2012

Feel uninspired by his appointment especially after reading the view from the Barnsley fans.

Can we not just give the guy a chance and make our own judgement?

Skybluestu82 · Sep 19, 2012

I'm actually feeling unusually optimistic about Robbins. Think he's really the right sort of manager to turn us around and give these spineless bunch of muppets the kick up the asre they really need.

Think he needs it to go well just as much as we do as well and for once I think we are all in the same boat!!

Same tbh, maybe his style of play which was described as boring was dictated by circumstances of being one of the smaller clubs in the league

Yes, and I will make my own mind up. However doesn't alter the fact I find it an uninspiring appointment, just a cheap option.
