Clarke scored for fun here as well but hardly played under Robins.
Robins has been a success at every club he's managed. People have short memories.
My point entirely, MR didn't have a clue in knowing how to adapt when McGoldrick left and he certainly didn't get the best out of Clarke who was also scoring goals for fun at lowly Scunthorpe.

I'd love to punch that c**t directly on the nose
If Robins had anything about him at all or even an internet connection, he would have known too. The man fucked us over.
You seriously underestimate the impact of a manager if you think our form was because of McG, rather than MR, it's a very naive viewpoint, because if what you're saying is true, then Thorn or Shaw would've got exactly the same results with McG? Rubbish. Secondly, considering McG got 1 assist (in the league), how did Baker go on a similar goal rampage in the November-December period!? MR was so much more influential than McG, firstly for McG, the system suited him, McG came out and publicly praised his methods, MR signed players which strengthened the squad, Moussa, Bailey, Adams (3 of the 4 we had to keep on in January). The manager is responsible for everything that goes on durning the match, team talks, individual roles, MR was the main reason we did well, without a doubt. Perhaps he could've done better and probably would've had he'd had the summer transfer window, because Thorn was just plain wasteful with out resources.
For those who listen to the Nii Lamptey show, they worked out if you wiped all of McG's goals, we'd only lose 9 points. Case closed.
Only 9 points - not brilliant then without McGoldrick, probably would have been hovering just above the relegation zone.
Even after McG, we were still picking up points and Clarke was scoring goals for us, from January, to late Feb (after SP's 1st game so about 6-7 weeks), he scored 8 goals and was on course to smash his Scunny record, had his injury not kept him out, so on Leon Clarke, you don't know what you're talking about.
He's a weak man. Pressley has come in, had nothing like the backing from the board but has risen above it and motivated a young team into what is really a better position than that c**t ever did.

Interesting that people aren't saying 'the main reason for SP's success is Wilson*' or some other ridiculous notion - cue one twat.
*Who is, alongside Clarke, both on course for beating McG's goal tally of 16 (?) by 1/1/14.
These types of threads show how fickle people are, if I was MR, I would've took the job at Huddersfield, off-field aside, 3x his salary, with a team a league above, I was bitter when he left, but, now, you have accept that it was logical for him, where's the loyalty. Robins if he loses 10 games in a row? We'd want him sacked.
What you have to remember, that the one, and only thing SP had to his advantage over Robins, was preseason, where you could work on things like fitness and tactics, players like Moussa last season, had no preseason.
I'd rather have SP as manager, what he has achieved so far was unreal, I thought we had the team for playoffs, but needed to add players, but he's got lares who people doubted (Wilson, Daniels) and they have performed admirably, he's got these players performing near the top of the ability, but this set of players will only get better (bar Baker and Webster) and that is a scary thought for the other teams in the league! I find it amusing to see the idiots who were calling for SP's head are now his biggest fans. Moral of the story: when Fergie rates a manager, he knows what he's talking about.

Excuse me...?

So you knew at the time of Robins' appointment that SISU were about to stop paying the rent and potentially put the future of the club in doubt?
Why hold a grudge? His successor is out-performing him, with considerably less backing. I want him to fail Huddersfield, always have done, but I don't blame him for taking a better job, when he has no reason to be loyal to us, but the 'sky blue blood' quote made
For me, it's done and dusted, over, we have SP, who's using the youth academy to it's max, got the team scoring for fun and has got team selection totally right so far. CCFC are in a better state (on-field!) and that's all I care about. MR didn't 'screw us', suggest he left us in a worse state, he left a good squad, and his successor is doing better than him, it looks like we've got a decent deal out of his departure, tbh.
Actually, the 'fickle' part was aimed at people saying 'it's because of McG' before he left, the only one who said that was psgm1, because if the circumstances he left, it's been 'legitimised' by a handful of wrong people. :facepalm:
The relationship between a manager and a club isn't the same, for MR, managing CCFC was a job, just like managing HTFC, and opportunities come and go, and frankly, you've got to take them, Huddersfield have a better team, in a better league, on x3 his wages, the opportunity was probably too good to turn down, especially given the board couldn't give him assurances. I haven't forgiven him but I don't really care about it now, it's football, it's the nature of the business. I'd have a long list of people I hate if I held onto every negative feeling I've felt towards a manager or player, and considering I'm younger than most people on here, the list for you older lot would be double mine. You move on in life.
