Funny that... (3 Viewers)

Since the departure of Robins, the whole rent row has escalated again with bank accounts being frozen?

Clearly Robins knew something was about to kick off, so jumped ship!

Don't blame him to be honest.

Funny that no one thought the rent was preposterously high until we got relegated or were staring down the barrel of such.

I don't remember a single thread until we were set fair for third-tier football

Robins would have had no idea about the latest part of the rent row saga, he is a football coach, not an accountant or lawyer.
Why brief him?

Robins would have had no idea about the latest part of the rent row saga, he is a football coach, not an accountant or lawyer.

But he asked for assurances from Seppala as to whether he'd have money made available to him for transfers etc and those assurances weren't given.

So regardless of whether he knew the exact reason, he knew something bad was about to happen and left.

I too don't blame him.

And did I not say his reasons for leaving were probably down to money (triple the amount for him at huddersfield AND no money being given to him by CCFC etc) as the reason he was leaving!

Strange I was shot down by a few people.

Seems to happen on this board a lot lol

Everyones life revolves around the 'almight dollar' as you said it or in simple terms...money!

No one is any different.

Here's a good way of looking at it:

Your in a job that you like. You'd like a payrise and you've asked for it. You'd also like a little extra cash for your department so you can make it the best department there is in your company.

Unfortunately they wont give you a payrise and they can't give you the money you need to improve your department which is a little gutting as you do enjoy your job and the company you work for.

Then someone offers you a job paying you more money and giving you some funds to improve the department you'll be working in.

The answer is simply. You take the job and offered improvement money and you leave your current job.

There's no two ways about it I'm afraid.

Robins left us because we're in the shitter financially, just like he did at Barnsley when they wouldn't give him more money to buy transfer targets!

Can't say it any clearer than that!

Please stop comparing the role and responsibility of a football manager to that of the average office job. It is not at all comparable.

Sisu not paying rent for over a year seems to go against that. I'm sure a lot of us, who don't need to personally worry about how we're going to pay the rent on the Ricoh, were not privvy to that utterly useless information to our personal lives!

While the job isn't the same, we are all human in the end and our reactions to this proffered situations are the same.

We all want money, we all want a stable life and we all want the recognition we deserve for the jobs we do.

Robins does a damn good job, we can all admit that. He wanted more money to bring in players that would help our promotion push.

He also wanted more money because to be fair, for the job he did, he should have been on more.

SISU obviously said no to both and so he went somewhere else!

So while the jobs aren't the same, the situation and human reactions behind it are!

SISU stopped paying rent when relegation was probable, as I stated in my previous post. Ahead of that time, it had barely been mentioned. If it is the issue that is so perilous to the club, as is now claimed, then why wasn't it flagged as such by them? And if it had been, we'd have been discussing it on here ad infinitum. But we weren't

In January? Not probable... Possible at that time. I'm not going to pretend I know the ins and outs, but why would anyone talk about it until it was known it was a concern.

We were rock bottom in January. Of course relegation was probable.

They took over the club in December 2007. Their due diligence didn't flag the rent, which is now supposedly the biggest threat to the club's survival. And from December 2007 to early 2012 it wasn't mentioned by anyone. Thereafter becoming huge. Wonder why?

Robins said as much-"I sought assurances, the board were unable to give those assurances to me". Same as a few weeks back when he said "the stadium situation will be sorted"-well it obviously hasn't! It doesn't take a genius to work out that the failure to resolve the rent situation played a major part in his departure-the increase in salary obviously played a part too. And before people say "ah, but he defended the board!", yes-and ACL claim that the board agreed a deal: it was then rejected by the owners.

Hell, relegation looked probable by the Leicester game...you only had to look at the team-sheet, our league position the previous season, and the players who had gone!

Ahh, shoot me down!
