Too many cooks on the case now. The intention was to 'show appreciation for the work completed by Robins'. As soon as you start including other people on the flag, the list of people becomes too great and it waters down the message.

He also might be sacked by Christmas or be managing Villa. Will people really think he is a legend then? 'Sent to Coventry' is perfect. It relates to the city, it isn't putting a controversial rank on his achievements and it is appreciating him right now in the moment.

Jimmy Hill left but still a legend.

MR will leave some day but always be a legend to us.

.... and fuck other fans

Perhaps I am thinking a bit too literally, I still don't like it though.

The very first post was spot on. Simple and to the point. It seems everyone just wants their own design now.

Not at all true, though I did plump for "Otis and Robins' Sky Blue Army" in the end

The more this goes on the more I think no text. Just a stylised image of Robins and the two tone colours will do.

Yup and then as it is passed over our heads, we can all be equipped with felt tip pens and write our own slogans on it

Sent to Coventry.

It is a nationwide known phrase about Coventry. We have just claimed it as our own.

We get it, but Robins wasn't sent to Coventry, he came of he's own free will.

Good to see someone agree with me on this one. The phrase just doesnt make sense in this scenario.

Yes the phrase means "no one's talking to you"

That doesn't apply to Mark Robins.

Look, mate, I used to rent my TV off Radio Rentals and that didn't make sense either, but I still did it.

Can we not just have King Robins like everyone else? When he leaves we can just change it to fucKing Robins.

Tommo1993 · Jun 15, 2020

Whoever’s in charge, I hope you’re not one of those who manage to spell Robins’ name wrong! I’ve seen some dumb variations.

King Robbins/Robin’s

I think legends never leave sounds proper passive aggressive about him leaving before and also grasping and desperate about the idea of him leaving again.

agree, hate it.

Could almost put "...right? RIGHT?!?!?!" at the end of it

robbiekeane · Jun 15, 2020

Sent to Coventry, or no text for me

I don't know how to use the filter thingy, but this picture would work well in the distorted filter with The Special Ones across the bottom and the 2Tone pattern either side.

Yeah, but because that is in black and white, you can't see his Sky Blue blood.

Hill making a banner reminded me of this work of art he made a few years back!

Still, it's better than whatever this is

steve cooper · Jun 16, 2020

There is a deeper meaning to the phrase "sent to Coventry" though, in our context.
It is widely thought the origin is this.
The phrase sent to Coventry comes from The English Civil Wars of the 1640s. The Royalist troops, nicknamed The Cavaliers, who were captured in Birmingham by the Roundheads, lead by Oliver Cromwell, were sent to a Parliamentary stronghold prison in Coventry.
The fact that people in Birmingham (troops) were sent to Coventry, is the reverse of what happened to us.

Good thing about that one is we could just get a patch to sew over the initials if MR left. Unless our next God-like manager is black.
