    I like simple things....

    Correct, but honest self-reflection isn't something the broader fanbase does. We have never filled out our stadiums, regardless of league, spending or ticket price. There is always an excuse, whether it is the need for a new stadium, more investment, lower prices, better owners, better...

    3 years !

    Three year deals are about standard practice for most managers and players, aren't they?

    Sack Robins now!

    Behave. AT was judged over 18 months, not three games.

    Sky Sport reporting an ADMIN problem

    Press conference at 6pm.

    Robins is....

    We will never know how Ince would have done. And if you like Robins you ought to give credit to the men for having him high on their shortlist.

    Richard Keys

    It would mean more if Keys named a name - then we could properly evaluate his inside knowledge. By giving no name, he's just sewing doubt into the minds of fans about the man who is eventually named manager. Ignore.

    Are the players doing this on purpose

    As miffed as they might be about the bonus situation, to deliberately play badly would sabotage their hopes of receiving them.

    Coventry Bottom Of League

    Just see it as collateral damage from the AT sacking. Line in the sand, new manager, PUSB.

    I didn't say it was a better points record - I'm saying the outcome would be the same!

    .

    Do you realise that AT was winless in his last nine league games? That his limited L1 record was at a relegation points-per-game pace?

    So Ray Ranson is at the game

    Beggars can't be choosers.

    Who Do You Miss?

    John Eustace and Stern John were booed out of the club prematurely. Also miss Thompson in midfield - sad the way his career ended up.

    "...the lads all wanted Shaw & Carsley to take over because they really like them"

    It should be. But then, being fat and unfit and depressed should be enough motivation to get people to diet. Or health concerns should be enough motivation to get people to quit cigarettes. Doesn't often work. Generally, people are more complicated than that. Mike Brearley's (often said to be...

    "...the lads all wanted Shaw & Carsley to take over because they really like them"

    Just my tuppence, but I wouldn't have much hope for that manager. Instilling belief ought to be about inspiring the players, motivating them to overachieve, setting expectations of championship performance on the pitch and the training ground. I don't think it is arrogance that the players...

    "...the lads all wanted Shaw & Carsley to take over because they really like them"

    You will get players backing effective managers and ineffective managers. It is not always a sign of a soft manager.

    Ince, Robins or Shaw

    But remember McGinnity went that route when he sacked Black in favour of the glitz of Peter Reid - Mr "Instant Success". Indeed, the best two managers we have had since relegation have been relatively low-key. The problem with a lot of these 'galvanising' figures is that they are bringing the...

    Why is everyone so Anti Paul Ince?

    1. He has had five managerial jobs and hasn't lasted 12 months in any of them. 2. His career is trending downwards - Blackburn to MK Dons to Notts County. 3. The guv'nor reputation. The fear is that he'd be Boothroyd v2; not sure if that personality is what is needed at the club. 4...
