Just a reality check Pete.
Live in the moment man… Things weren’t great before, hence Robins got sacked.I don't feel particularly excited about the game tomorrow, no. Tbh I just feel kinda exhausted and fed up with the whole thing and apprehensive about the future. You don't get to sit there and say 'its the club you support - you've got to be excited.' That's just not how it works. You're either excited or you are not.
I think Robins did more for this club than anyone in decades, and IMHO dismissing him was unfair, rash and an unnecessary risk to the club.
However I'm with you on this point Nick. Jimmy Hill created the Sky Blues, galvanised the whole city in support of the club, and transformed the whole of football itself in a number of ways. His statue makes sense. Mark Robins was an absolute gem of a manager, and deserves some kind of permanent recognition. But not a statue IMHO.
Fair enough, that's a perfectly understandable view. Like I said, I think there should be some permanent recognition, it's only a question of what form it takes. Have other clubs got multiple statues (genuine question)?Hard disagree. You achieve something that most fans haven’t seen in their lifetime you get a statue. Just because he didn’t transform football doesn’t mean he didn’t transform CCFC.
I dunno, I always live in the moment and am a joy seeking carefree soul, Middlesbrough away felt amazing. First time I've felt that real buzz leaving a game all season, and like we were on the cusp of turning the corner yet again.Live in the moment man… Things weren’t great before, hence Robins got sacked.
Whoever the new manager is, it’s a fresh start and opportunity for new perspectives and approaches that hopefully drive us forward. Personally, I’d have given Robins the whole season but now a decision has been made, there’s no point being down about it.

I was waiting for thatWe’ve had 5 of them in defence this season
That's the thing - I'm not really down about it; as others have pointed out - it is only football. It's more that I've really enjoyed the past few years, was invested in the Robins/CCFC journey and still had high hopes for this season. Obviously we live in hope but I can't help but feel the good times are over and we are heading back to the grind of the 00s.Live in the moment man… Things weren’t great before, hence Robins got sacked.

I think his interviews this year have often alluded to his dissatisfaction with what was going behind the scenes saying things like loans not my remit. Cannot discuss an injury due to data protection? Yesterday he had a dig that he was restricted to what he could say.Robins is distrustful of the media. There were run ins with Turner at the CET. His post match interviews on CWR were rambling match reports
When he's asked more pressing questions, injury updates, performance levels or transfer business he shuts it down immediately, with short, snappy answers.
wise old fox!
However, a very gentlemanly interview today. Seems he’s genuinely sad to have left the club, and resisted any digs at King.

Did you want Robins to get the sack? If so when did you decide he had to go and why?I think a lot wanted him sacked at the time. I think the statue is a bit silly to be honest
So you're not arsed about the football club you support because the Manager has gone?
There's a game tomorrow, no different regardless of who is in the dugout when it comes to looking forward to it.
Really? The club is bigger than any manager or player.I probably wouldn't have sacked him even if Lampard came with guaranteed quick win promotion.
Unfortunately what followed it was a proper shit showI dunno, I always live in the moment and am a joy seeking carefree soul, Middlesbrough away felt amazing. First time I've felt that real buzz leaving a game all season, and like we were on the cusp of turning the corner yet again.
Now look what we've done
But did a minority of fans keep calling for his head, and then support erecting a statue for him?

I get why you are questioning that and it is fair enough. Obviously it is an easy throw away line when your not making that decision. In reality if I was the owner I would take the easy money - you'd be an idiot not to but I am a fan of Coventry City not a fan of the Premier League. Obviously I want us to win things but the journey is as important as the destination. Ultimately and above all else I want a club we can be proud of.Really? The club is bigger than any manager or player.
