If he had no intention of leaving, why did we offer a new contract?

Christ always someone negative isn't there. Maybe they wanted to lengthen the contract, offer more money, reward for good performance, remove any previous clauses.

To annoy you

 

[Skyblueweeman]

If he had no intention of leaving, why did we offer a new contract?

To reward him for what he's done so far? To demonstrate their commitment to each other to ward of interest from other parties? To show the fans that the owners 'may' have finally woken up and are prepared to hang on to something that's actually beneficial to the club?

Have any of those for free mate.You're very much welcome.

They're going to talk to Viveash to extend his contract too. With the confirmation of Sunderland making an approach this feels like a real statement of intent, fantastic news all round.

Yes, you beat me to it. Viveash clearly a key part of the staff both from a coaching point of view and the contacts he has in the game from his time at Chelsea. Great news if we can tie him down too, has done an excellent job of filling Steve Taylor's shoes and becoming MR's trusted right hand man

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

Great news - well done to the club and now moving on to maintain stability with a new contract for Adi Viveash.

 

[luwalla]

interesting Sunderland did ask for permission then... doesn't not state how long the new contract is for does it ?

 

[skyblueeyesrevisited]

I have heard from a reliable source that his new contract is as player manager. He’s fed up of our misfiring frontmen.

 

[cooperskyblue]

That has made my day!!! What brilliant news! He thoroughly deserves a new contract! Can't wait to see the hero's reaction he will get tonight!

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

Excellent on so many levels, we don't have to start again with a leap in to the unknown, we haven't strengthened a rival and we have stability within the club.
Coventry City have just given themselves a massive vote of confidence and now we can build of the two and a half years of progress made since Robins came back.
This has been a bad week on the pitch but a positive end which will lead to a brighter future.

Bloody SISU. Bloke had no intention of leaving and we offer him a lucrative new contract. Probably means we won't sign a striker in January.

You're surely on the wind up now, right?

 

[Skyblueweeman]

When we the last time we had a manager sign a new contract (and not their first one I mean...)?

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Bloody SISU. Bloke had no intention of leaving and we offer him a lucrative new contract. Probably means we won't sign a striker in January.

It's a cynical ploy to sell more 3rd kits tonight, they will cash in when Utd sack Solskjaer and come calling for Robins.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

If it fitted on one sheet of A4 then it's 29.7cm long.

Sorry. Slow day at work already.

More likely back of fag packet, such was the haste with which it was written!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Amazing news, Robins is our king!!!!! Also fuck sunderland haha

 

[shmmeee]

WTF I love Sisu now?

Best news of the year.

 

[weecohawena]

You're surely on the wind up now, right?

How dare you.

 

[Alkhen]

Fantastic news, love the man. gotta be close to club legend status now.

Another byproduct of a silver lining: whoever Sunderland now approach will know they were second choice (at least)

 

[Skyblueweeman]

How dare you.

I'll take that as a yes then.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Club is on the up.

 

[hill83]

You're surely on the wind up now, right?

Bet he wasn't before though, but now he can pretend he was. Basic internetting.

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

For starters, it's good that they refused Sunderland permission to talk to Squeaky!

 

[covcity4life]

Robins signs new contract and a new kit all in one day. We are being spoiled.

yes we are the luckiest fans in the world lol

 

[covcity4life]

great news mind you. lets get promoted!

 

[chiefdave]

Great news. Nice to see it sorted quickly. Indicates that Robins is happy to stay and the clubs offer was fair. Much better than months of negociations dragged out.

 

[clint van damme]

I may be jumping the gun but I can't believe Robins signed this extension without having some assurances on us being back in Coventry in the near future.
Let's hope it's not just wishful thinking.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Sisu will sell the club on the up

 

[shmmeee]

Sisu will sell the club on the up

Stop I can only get so erect

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Stop I can only get so erect
