Mark Robins is a top candidate for the Coventry manager job (1 Viewer)

[notacovfan]

Hi there,

I am not a Coventry fan but have heard today that Mark Robins is one of the leading candidates for the manager job at the Ricoh. Apparently he very nearly got the job before Thorne was given it full time. Fits the bill having made Rotherham and Barnsley perform above expectation with a limited budget. He is one of the managers to be interviewed and stands a good chance of getting the job, especially as no compo would be needed. He also came close to getting Brum job in the summer. Was told this today by someone who worked with Robins at Barnsley, where he fell out with the board.

if he fell out with the Barnsley Board.... he won't get very far with ours

I'd be happy with that appointment.

I remember the rumours when Thorn was appointed about Robins

I'd be pretty happy with his appointment. Did make the Barnsley squad look ok if I remember correctly?

 

[skyblueman]

Yep I'd be content with that - must admit I'm sh#tting myself with some of the names being flung about on here - please end this misery soon!!!!

btw I love the way you stress you are not a Cov fan in your name and post as if you wish to distance yourself as far away as possible from our club

Good decision

This wouldnt surprise me at all.

Be a reasonable appointment but would prefer Wise tbh

He kept them up which I assume is always there aim at the beginning of the season with no disrespect to them

Didn't pull up any trees while he was there but did a steady job by all accounts

my top man is Wise, but i would be happy also with mark Robins. His teams do play decent football.

I prefer Robbins to the other options

 

[Black6Osprey]

Wow, Robins he got Barnsley playing okay. If he gets it our meteoric rise to greatness will be underway

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Interviews will not commence till next week

Does Robins tolerate players who are total p*ssies? If he does then no thanks. I want a manager who they'll be scared of.

The fans will like Robbins as they have actually heard of him.

AB got the sack for being a disciplinarian didn't he? (alongside the hoofball tactics)

I don't think so, I think the fact that we have a bit of knowledge on him means we can more accurately form an opinion on his suitability for the job. A lot of us have heard of Ince, Dickov but I don't see the fans liking them

It is natural fans will be more wary of an unknown quantity, doesn't mean they are opposed to him
