Frank or Mark? (17 Viewers)

MR gave us some great times - Frank has started well you can see the difference in the confidence of the players from the terrible run we had after the Manure semi final - Grimes a good addition - just need three points off Stoke in a couple of weeks

Funny how he's gone very quiet recently.
Perhaps another victim of the Warwickshire hunt ?

Don’t compare them just enjoy Frankball while we have it and reminisce of Robins-taka from the season we won league 1

More likely the Berkeley one.

I'm surprised at the number of people on here citing Lampard doesn't want for money as a reason he wouldn't take another job with higher pay.

There are loads of people who don't want for money and could live comfortably for the rest of their days who will willingly debase themselves of someone throws a wad of cash at them.

The whole tenet of capitalism is that no matter how much you have you can always want more.

I'm not so sure.

Nearly 10 years ago Robins found out the grass isn't always greener on the other side. When he came back he stayed until pushed. Lampard has already previously got the push. He won't need the money as he earned more in a year than most people in a lifetime.

With us he has the chance of taking us from near the bottom of the Championship to the Prem. He has some very good players, a chairman that will back him and some of the best supporters backing him wherever we go. I can't see a top side coming in for him yet as he lacks the experience needed and is still unproven.

Would he leave us for a newly promoted side or a club in the bottom half of the Prem if we don't go up this season and they come in for him? I don't think so. Our club is turning into something special and you can see he is enjoying his time with us. Why risk it to take on a job where there will be a good chance of getting the sack.

I think he’d want to actually achieve something to have on his CV first. I think he’d have to get us promoted and not getting hammered week in week out in the PL before he got a better job. If we don’t go up and he leaves for a newly promoted side in the summer or shortly after, if it went wrong it’d be another failure in the PL for him.

Frank won't jump ship early. He will have learnt the hard way. He's an incredibly wealthy man who won't need a payday.

He certainly is wealthy, drove up to the CBS in his Bentley.

Wealthy? Would only have been 1 weeks wage as a player

Wait till you see his watch collection... He could buy a row of houses in Coventry with it.

What car did Mark Robins drive?

I, for some reason, just imagine Hans Moleman.

(Oh no, I just made my last payment...ohh....)

Without Russell Slade there would be no Robins.

Absolutely Deity.

It's all about evolution.

He doesn't strike me as a Bentley kind of guy, tbh.

Also probably still ok to use the present tense; I doubt King made him hand over the keys. "No, Mark, as well as everything else, you're walking home."

If I'm honest, I was just setting up the Simpsons bit that sort of backfired and I would like to bail out now.

Better luck next time. What a nice young man.

It's like the QI question. Nobody knows.

You’re right because he wouldn’t have needed the inter cities fairs cup
