It's almost as if people can change their opinion of a manager after only a couple of wins in 4-5 months.
What a shock!
Amazing how many people have changed their mind of SP since i posted this thread wanting him to leave last October, unbelievable jeff!

We may not be a big club. But we are bigger than clubs that get into the Prem. If those clubs were down where we are now what would t
heir gates be? If and when we get back up there what would our gates be?
Agree. Don't get all the "poisoned chalice" stuff.
It is a poisoned chalice because the chances of you achieving success with this board behind you is nil.
Meanwhile you do as you are asked, in SPs case reduce costs and bring through youngsters and you still get the sack.
But that won't stop people applying. Football managers can't expect to stay in the job long anyway and it's a good screw while it lasts.
And I suppose none of our problems were down to SP not having much of a clue?
For an up and coming manager this would be a great job if you were confident in your ability. Imagine being the one that does eventually turn it around. We've dropped so low now that the one who does it will be held up alongside Jimmy Hill.
I've said this 100 times. Things change.
I like my neighbour Dave, but if it turns out tomorrow that he's a peado I will no longer like him.

Now the council are out the picture surely Mark Robins should re-apply ofr the position.
Mark Robins has over 2.5 years left on his contract.

It wasn't, but thanks for your input.

Don't see the problem with someone using us as a stepping stone. It would mean we're doing well and not scratching around at the bottom of div 3. Plus it would give you another reason to moan about our owners. It's a win win surely?So out of this list of 50 how many do you think are going to be nobodies and how many are going to be somebodies?
Let's face it. Anyone with genuine credentials will either not consider us or use us as a stepping stone like Robbins did. Talk of Sherwood being the favourite before taking the Villa job are laughable. We'll end up with either a complete rookie with no real track record in management, a nobody or someone using us as a stepping stone to pay the bills until a proper job comes along.

A fair few will be useless no doubt. Doesn't change the moving of the goalposts by you from "Nobody will want to come here" to "meant nobodies lol"
I haven't moved jack. You must have mistaken me for someone else.

In that case it's a no lose situation, you do well, you get all the praise and your stock rises as the first manager in a generation to get some success at Coventry City, you do badly, it's the owners fault.
so it will be a rookie or virtual unknown as Steve Pressley was.
Absolutely bang on ! And it took him 6 months to get the act together. Of course the big difference was the financial support he got from Derrick Robins AND he also proved to be good football manager who could get the best out of players, so a rookie doesn't bother me, but a rookie with little or no support from those appointing him does.and Jimmy Hill
Who exactly are the board. Used to be 8 or 9 of them. Nowadays I think there's only Faggot and Wisher.This was obvious to me. Skme posters were like who would take this job? Here is your answer. 50 people within a day. Always going to be the case for me. Coventry city are a big club and for the lower leagues we will always attact attention.
Out of the 50 plus it's the boards job to get it right from the time wasters but the man we all want is at scunthorpe.
Tony Mowbray is the new favourite
Seemed to have forgot about him. I bloody hope it isn't him. Failed everywhere he has been
