I do think if Brum come back up they'll have a bit of momentum and carry on doing well
As I said I hope not, can't stand the arrogant fuckers

Not many teams successfully bounce straight back up from L1 in their first season. I don’t think Birmingham will get promoted this season, 2025/26 ought to be their year.

I just think of the time when we got relegated from the prem and a lot of us had the view it would do us good, allow us to rebuild and we would piss the championship. The same can be said when we got relegated to league one with many thinkng we would come straight back up and we all know how that worked out.
the problem wth being the big club in league 1 is you are everyone else's cup final and as well as the cloggers kicking you off the pitch they all put that little bit more into playing you along with playing at some shit hole grounds on a midweek night in February. Alot of their so called big signings will be in for a shock a long with their fans

Eh leave them to it, I'm still not sold on the owners and the new stadium is as laughable as it is pointless, but Stoke have shown its useless having wealthy owners if your recruitment is dogshit.
Do think they'll come up though, as mentioned, league 1 is pretty rubbish atm. Football is healing to an extent, the Championship is now mainly full of Championship sized teams.

It's not Liam bloody Vaney is it - I had to block him, clown - I am out of those Facebook forums anyway - you could write what most people on them know about football on the back of a fag packet

Being a 'cup final' for smaller teams doesn't help, but signing a bunch of absolute no hopers, many not even at league 1 standard in reality was the main problem.

Agree - but you could say that about nearly every team in this league.

That and retaining Andy Thorn. Imagine if we’d hired someone like MR soon after relegation and allowed him the summer to recruit and clear out the amateur mentality that clown had instilled.

Robins was in the frame for the job that summer but they’d have been outrage if the experts hadn’t got their way. He should have been sacked within the first few games as it was clear he’d take us down.

Yeh that's the one. That forum makes me laugh more than anything, we really do have some real simpletons supporting us. Worryingly I think this might be the place where the slightly smarter fan discusses all things CCFC. Troubling thought I know.

Retaining him made it a near certainty that we weren’t going back up. As it was, he would probably have done the opposite

Yep, said it a few times. Remember the first game after relegation, an easy win at Stockport. Said to my mate on the way out of the ground, "we're gonna piss this league..." Twenty-three years later....

Funny you should ask that question, I was sat here thinking how long does Robbins have left of his contract and when did he sign his current contract?
All the money from transfers you would hope some has been kept back to possibly improve his contract and keep him here to carry on with the progress we are making
but of course there are some who think that a taxi for Robbins was needed instead of continuity

Future Cov managers are a bit like future prime ministers somehow all the obvious contenders - Michael Doyle, Cecil Parkinson, Graham Alexander, Penny Mordaunt, John Eustace and David Miliband never quite get there.

Just interested, if Robins can’t get us promoted this season or the next, how long would give him? Only hypothetical but I’d personally say that he has 2, maybe 3, more chances and I wonder if the pressure from fans and Doug would start becoming too much?
(I assume we get promoted by then anyway but just makes you wonder what would happen if we finished 7th every season.)

I thought he was meant to be absolutely rapid? He’s always looked very quick when I’ve seen him live but reading the latest Turner article where he was speaking with a Blues reporter, he is quoted as saying ‘I wouldn’t say he is particularly quick’.

Mark Robins has a strong reputation in the EFL and could have been one of the determining factors in Coventry's capture of Brandon Thomas-Asante.

Just a hypothetical question whilst we’re waiting for Asante announcement, not that deep
I'm not surprised. It's the reason I was so reluctant to give his name, which I do regret. I'm not on Facebook, only on Twitter, which I barely use.
A friend did point out to me the day after I gave away his name on here, George Smith pops up. I've had a little look, he's not giving out names of apparent new signings coming in, that'll be because he doesn't know them. I didn't bother calling him out.
