Apparently they are after one of the Arsenal coaches that their new sporting director worked with before.
I wouldn't be worried about Robins leaving at all. He's an absolute legend and I want him here forever, but the club is at a place right now in which it can attract some top class managers. We're not scratching around looking for Russell Slades and Andy Thorns anymore. Maybe I'm a bit blinkered but if the worst happened then I reckon we could go after the likes of a Liam Rosenior or a Steve Cooper (maybe even a Graham Potter - OK maybe that one is too far). But we're a club that is in a place to attract a top boss now I think.
I think it’s more about Robins’ appeal to Norwich, rather than the other way round - teams seem completely unable to resist the idea of hiring their former players as managers sometimes. I don’t think he’d be in the conversation for them otherwise.
Wouldn't say I am worried about Norwich specifically, but more interest in Robins means that potentially his head could be turned.
Interesting term head being turned . Apparently Arsenal assistant manager is the bookies favourite.
Overall I dont think our performances were as good as our position pre April suggested. Only basing view on Norwich on our home game against them but they were really poor. No idea how they produced an amazing set to results to qualify for play-offs.
Apparently so
Andy Thorn was a legend mate as he looked a bit like John Sillett (at the time some fans actually came out with that gem on CWR!)
Norwich were the 7th best side in the league, and we saw why. We were in fact the 5th best side, West Brom 6th in terms of real performances over the course of the season, including cup games, if you get my point.
They probably would both have gone up but for Ipswich having a such a brilliant season.
Ipswich were predicted to be in contention to go up if i recall. They were brilliant but perhaps its not that suprising, their wage bill for instance dwarfs ours. I think the top 4 had close to the top 4 highest wage bills, with Norwich and West Brom next on the list.
If Robins was 10 years younger or his track record was good at other clubs apart from us maybe some PL might be interested. Think it's too late now unless he gets promotion with us .
Yeah it’s conveniently forgotten that he was the fans’ choice and a big part of the reason we ended up getting relegated.
Surely one of the funniest moments of the season when we sang ‘1-0 to the sexy boys’ at Norwich
But at least it's flat.
After 46 games where you finish is where you deserve. Ninth and 9 points adrift . Yes the FA cup defeat undoubtedly effected us but let's say we'd have taken a few more points we'd have struggled to finish 6th.
