With the likes of Palace, Bournmouth Everton and West Brom still without a manager there’s likely to be a managerial Merry go round. Would you be concerned about Robins getting poached by likes of West Brom, Bournmouth or Swansea if cooper was to leave?

No.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Nope. Sky Blue blood and all that.

Never had an issue before. Actually, hang on...

But still, nope.

Click bait, pointless thread alert!

No team with big budgets will be looking at Robins... they'll all be after bigger/more exciting names or those with Championship promotions on their CVs.

West Brom linked with Appleton from Lincoln.

West Brom linked with Appleton from Lincoln.

He played for them, and has been caretaker a couple of times.

I heard he ran a good cleaning rota

What teams will have big budgets then
apart from those armed with parachute money.
These are very different times clubs are
announcing massive losses and they are for two seasons back it’s no coincidence that clubs in all divisions including the prem. are looking for managers. Im not saying the aren’t clubs with bigger budgets than us put I think players on five figure wages will reduce significantly.

I thought Wilder would be tailor made for a club like WBA

Clubs are always looking for managers? The average tenure in the English game is about 14 months I think

King Robins has been awesome for us so far but the teams mentioned would go after much bigger names than him

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

1. King Robins has been awesome for us so far but the teams mentioned would go after much bigger names than him

   Correct, Palace and Everton will be looking for big names so I can't see the knock on affecting us . Lampard to one of them

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Infact Lampard to Palace, Terry to WBA and some foreign no hoper to Everton.
Panic over

Crikey. Expectations like that you're setting yourself up for one hell of a downfall.

He said to me in another thread that he doubts Stoke and Blackburn can pay players more

 

[slowpoke]

Where is their finances coming from then both are millions in debt.

Their owners invest money or take out loans like we have...

You mean the chicken brigade at Blackburn you are jesting of course, I can tell you and this is from relatives that the very future of Blackburn Rovers is a big concern to their fans. I’m not saying there aren’t players there or Stoke on more money than we pay our top earners but they are on old contracts

Awkward...

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Agreed. My in laws are West Brom fans. Think their Chinese owners are pretty stingy so don’t want to pay decent money.

 

[slowpoke]

The financial shit in football is starting to hit the fan it was always going to. there will be change and unfortunately victims we ain’t seen nothing yet.

Both Venkys & Bet365 are worth over a billion. They might decide to rein things in a little, but their losses are still a relative drop in the ocean in reality, unless they decide to pull the plug of course. That's possible at Blackburn I guess, but not Stoke where the owners are fans. Even at Blackburn their financial picture will look a lot rosier if they sell Armstrong for say £30m.

I agree with the Stoke bit but their “big” club title is wilting but the Blackburn fans are very concerned only a couple of years ago near neighbours Bury disappeared and Bolton almost the same. As for £30 million for Armstrong twelve months ago possibly but wishful thinking now in my opinion

 

[CDK]

Not worried about robins getting poached as for likes of West brom think they'll want a bigger name same as b.mouth.

 

[Tommo1993]

Nuno very close to being confirmed at Palace

I fear for Wolves this season they faded alarmingly after Christmas tough job for the new guy.

Which clubs are the 'likes' of Palace, Bournemouth, Everton, West Brom and Swansea. or do you actually mean those teams?

Got a long way to go to beat the Facebook forum, someone on there suggested we should sign Josh King the other day, left Everton “so should be cheap”.

I've been 'banned' a few times from that moronic group for saying that they're all a bit special
