Think it's fair to say the appointment and speed of it surprised even shocked us all. Don't think for a minute it was a case of thank you and goodbye Mr Slade then a phone call saying hello Mr Robins fancy a job ! His sudden departure from the post in 2013 was just as much a surprise and shock. Amongst the reasons sited by MR at the time included not getting certain assurances by his bosses and lack of help from CCC, so what has changed ?
I never held anything against him jumping ship, was probably the only effective thing he could do against issues and more importantly Tim Fisher and Steve Waggott.
Fisher is still here recently. spouting cutting budgets and player sales, hardly encouragement for any new manager.
Issues with ccc affecting the club still there really but shifted from Council to primarily Wasps who won't talk due to JR2
Situation here potentially worse than 2013, probable relegation, imminent loss of training ground, loss of Acadamy cat 2, no home ground in less than 18 months, proposed further budget restraints, player sales maybe enforced and chief protagonist Tim Fisher still here and spouting.
So what has changed for MR to even consider a return ? What assurances has he had ? Does he know something we don't know ? Does he know Simon Jordan ? Yes there's more question than answers, at the moment.
