Exclusive - mark Robins to be named (24 Viewers)

I was just wondering, who did he play in goal?

Joe Murphy

 

---

[Grendel]

He was Andy Thorn's signing

No he wasn't.

 

[PVA]

Bloody hell, he must be desperate.

Good appointment for us though, our best manager in at least the last 10 years.

 

[Jimmy Hill's Chin]

Is McGoldrick still playing or retired as we could have him back? Even a retired McGoldrick would be better than the Yak.

 

[sw88]

Makes you wonder; why now? Why not when we appointed Slade if he was that interested in coming back? Who knows, had we got him, we might be a point or two closer to safety

 

[wingy]

January transfer window

Does that mean we paid a fee or did Scunny let him walk?

Still at Ipswich but injury prone, would fit in nicely here

 

[1ccfc]

Just said on sky sports Robins lined up as replacement!

 

[hill83]

I'd be happy with him coming back. Didn't leave in the best way but he was good while he was here and I've got no time for crying about the past. A good manager is a good manager.

 

[Otis]

Now confirmed by the Coventry observer. . I will await apologies ! My soucrce bang on again!

What can you tell us about whether we will be relegated or not?

 

[Great_Expectations]

If the length of contract is until the end of next season, it at least indicates some form of pragmatism and plan from above.

It allows him to observe and make decisions on the existing squad and also get the wheels moving on potential new recruits for next season.

I also much prefer our odds at Wembley with him in charge, as opppsed to Slade. Ineffective long ball at Wembley for the only match we have to cheer about all season would have been incredibly disappointing.

 

[Ibby]

If it is Robins, have SISU made some promises to him for next season? Since he left us he has pulled no trees. I dont like this move sadly.

 

[no_loyalty]

Does that mean we paid a fee or did Scunny let him walk?

From memory I think he was on loan at Scunthorpe from Charlton, his loan ended and Robins got in and signed him up

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Does that mean we paid a fee or did Scunny let him walk?

He was only on loan at Scunthorpe, Charlton let him go for free as they didn't want him

 

[Otis]

Do you think les Reid will credit me as I was actually the exclusive to break it not the observer hahaha

Maybe you ARE Les Reid.

 

[weecohawena]

Another mercenary.

Give it Ricketts.

 

[chiefdave]

It puzzles me that we are still in the death grip of SISU and yet Robins appears to be coming back under that same circumstances which made him jump ship in the first place. I'd like him to give it a second go but unless there are circumstances that we're not party to I can't see him wanting to come back.

The more I think about it the more I think there has to be something else going on. Clearly he's not just going to come in for the last few games and take us to the inevitable relegation. With that in mind why would he come to manage a L2 club working on a shoestring under SISU? He can't be that desperate for a job.

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Does that mean we paid a fee or did Scunny let him walk?

We got him in on loan initially and then signed him permanent. He was on loan to Scunthorpe.

 

[fernandopartridge]

When did we get Clarke in as Mcgoldricks replacement?
Genuinely can't remember.
Think it was the summer.

Robins signed him January 2013

I've heard him coming back is written into Bigis contract for when he played 29 games.

I wouldn't have thought he's desperate financially but I think it's like an addiction.
Hopefully it is part of something bigger.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Robins has still got 2.5 years left on his original contract

 

[SkyBlueRuffian]

Has anyone got the list of players Robins had when he was here 1st time?

[Grendel]

Just for the record his stats at Huddersfield and Scunthorpe are about the same as mowbrays here over his whole tenure. Not great but hardly a disaster.

 

[scottccfc]

Robins signed him January 2013

Clarke debut was the jpt game against Preston, didn't he also score the winner

Do you are singerspores source. Makes sense now.

 

[torchomatic]

Whilst I think it is too late to save this season I feel genuinely optimistic at the thought of the return of MR. I hope the contract is at least 18 months.

What a brilliant night that was.

 

[Otis]

Who were Robins' backroom staff last time he was here? Anyone remember?

Oggy with his clipboard is obviously a given of course.

 

[CJ_covblaze]

No he wasn't.

It was. Thorn did the deal and he ended up coming in after Robbins was announced.

 

[Grendel]

No it was home in a 1 nil defeat against Shrewsbury. I believe both he and mcgoldrick played together for the only time.

 

[Fergusons_Beard]

Am I the only one completely confused by this? One of the main drivers for him leaving was the off field issues, which have only worsened since he left.

What am I missing?

Personally though I'd take him back, especially compared to the others in the betting....

You're missing the fact he hasn't got a job......

He did indeed. He was marginally offside. And yes, what a brilliant night that was.



It was funny when Moussa did the same to them at their own ground, by scoring the equaliser in the last minute, after 7 added-on.

Just saw Kevin Malaga's name!

No he came when Shaw was here. Waggott signed him and there was a strong suggestion that the player wouldn't come if thorn was in charge. Thorn was sacked and in he came. Thorn tried and failed to convince him to come when we were in the championship.
