As many worry on letting the likes of Vik or Gus move on, who have we made mistakes on under Robins?
Bigi
Enobakahare
McNulty
Willis
Burge
Bayliss
Stevenson
Thomas
Biamou
Hiwula
All had their best spells at City, many were disappointed when each of them left, begging them to stay and saying how we would be better off keeping them. Tbh I did myself particularly with Bayliss and McNulty. Many I'm sure I've forgotten but those are the ones I can think of who looked to move for better and whilst it may have worked for some in the short term financially, the club got it right every single time. That must be pretty unrivalled.
The only exception I can think of is Hyam, but even there we managed the better of them and finished above.
Robins has been vindicated every single time and all those who left for higher or to further their opportunities have failed and we've gone past them. Most said Vik after his loan period wouldn't make it, but he got the best from him too.
As we look now Hiwila 1 in 20 odd for Ross Co, Biamou without a club, Burge at Northampton, McNulty in 3rd tier USA, Willis on trial at Shrewsbury and on it goes.
I hope Hamer stays, but he has a valuation and we have a system and style of playing. Forget the owners, forget the players, the only genuine important assets imo are Robins and Viveash.
