No. I think we'll be his final club in management.His stock has never been higher, he's getting all of the plaudits that we know are long overdue and finally recognition for a great job over a sustained period, but that comes with a worry that we'll now lose him.
Surely teams with bigger budgets will be sniffing, is anyone else suddenly more concerned that we could lose him soon?
Yes, end of next season if we don't go up he may want a shot at the big time, I've said this for a whileHis stock has never been higher, he's getting all of the plaudits that we know are long overdue and finally recognition for a great job over a sustained period, but that comes with a worry that we'll now lose him.

He’s got to reach the play offs 3 out of the next 4 seasons and win them within that time to meet King’s target.How long is his contract ? How long did DK give him for the Playoffs/Promotion request ?
Won't move before then unless something drastic happens.
<edit> Will add, he left us to go to Huddersfield and Rotherham (?). Did diddly squat at either place. Bigger clubs may come in but with them comes different pressures and targets. He may not want them or be able to handle them. Mowbray has had a few clubs but only been successful at a handful.
Well King needs to back him otherwise we'll only be a top 10 side rather than a top 4 sideHe’s got to reach the play offs 3 out of the next 4 seasons and win them within that time to meet King’s target.
Agree with most of this. Think he actually had more control over the club when Sisu were here which i think he liked. Just judging by his interviews and people supposedly ITK he may have found it a bit of an adjustment when King first came in but sounds to me like hes loving it againNo I think he is here for the project at this point, I think its clear that there was a plan and we are getting closer and closer. I dont think he would leave at this point.. at least not to another Championship team or any struggling prem really. Why would he? he has almost total control at the club (and rightly so) where else that would be an upgrade would afford him that?
Im sure he'll use any interest to get a bump in wages like he did when Sunderland came sniffing. I just feel like this is now his project and he is so close to securing his goals.
Respect your optimism and hope you're right!No. I think we'll be his final club in management.
I doubt that …. When we eventually go our separate ways Robins will have no shortage of offers and he seems like a guy with football in his veins.No. I think we'll be his final club in management.
Most managers / head coaches bring their back room staff with them …. If you were hiring Robins you would want him to bring Adi with him. This is certainly not a barrier to Robins exiting.He's not a coach, and that's what most clubs go for now. He's a pure manager. Might be what saves him getting poached. You'd have to take him and AV together.
I think last season counted as 1, so that would be 2 out of 4 including the season we’re in.He’s got to reach the play offs 3 out of the next 4 seasons and win them within that time to meet King’s target.
Yep, they'd need to go together. AV says himself he's quite vocal with the manager which Robins obviously likes. Even if AV did stay, we would then need a manager who can work with him, and Robins would need to find a coach as good as AV.He's not a coach, and that's what most clubs go for now.

I think the only way he goes is if he takes up and keeps us up and resigns, leaving us on a high.I doubt that …. When we eventually go our separate ways Robins will have no shortage of offers and he seems like a guy with football in his veins.
Man Utd may be looking at him after Sunday as he would be a very safe and by their standards cheap option. Man Utd fans would welcome him with open arms (the English ones at any rate) and wage wise he would be lower than some of the continental big names.
However, i doubt Robins would go there as he seems like a guy who isnt motivated by glamour and money and is very humble and down to earth. The thing is here, it is his club. He literally has built it from the ground up and at minimum i would think he stays until he gets us in the PL.
Once he gets us in the PL and consolidates us up there like say an Aston V@lla type club, at that point he may leave if a huge club comes knocking for him, again in a few years it may well be Man Utd as that club is such a mess i cannot see them getting things right in the next 3-4 years.
What makes me laugh my ass off is some Leicester fans are saying they should go for Robins. As if Mark would even look twice at them...he wouldnt even look once to be fair.
I think the only way he goes is if he takes up and keeps us up and resigns, leaving us on a high.

Robins wouldnt even consider clubs like Wolves, WBA Norwich, Leicester Bournemouth West Ham Brighton Brentford and the such like. All bar West Ham are smaller clubs historically, so the only clubs i think he would be tempted by after he gets us promoted and consolidated in the PL are clubs like Newcastle Tottenham, Man Utd and Everton.Yep, they'd need to go together. AV says himself he's quite vocal with the manager which Robins obviously likes. Even if AV did stay, we would then need a manager who can work with him, and Robins would need to find a coach as good as AV.
They have molded the club in their vision. If they get poached by a Palace, Bournemouth or even a yo-yo club like Norwich or WBA they won't be able to do that. The mantra will be 'keep us up or get us promoted, and you've got one season'.
Id already name the stadium after him tbh.That's stadium naming stuff that.
Id already name the stadium after him tb
So not the Russel Slade stadium lolId already name the stadium after him tbh.
Yes i am sure there would be but Jim Ratcliffe is new to English football and i would think on Sunday he would have been thinking who are these Coventry lot and wanting to learn more about us and given Robins Utd connection, he potentially could see Robins as a safe choice to appease the die hard fans. Its a tricky one though as Man Utd isnt the same club older ones of us remember from when we played them regularly and it does seem their fanbase is now largely foreign, even at games a lot of the time, so Robins may not be sexy enough for them.There would be uproar in the entitled Utd ranks if they looked at Robins.
It sounds sexier when you say it i suppose and makes one feel christmassyS
So not the Russel Slade stadium lol

Leicester owners are more likely to go for another Enzo type. bit more glamorous than Robins. Ive always thought Norwich might be the ones who could possibly tempt him but as they are doing well at the moment I doubt its a concernI genuinely love that almost to a man (*or woman) you're saying 'no chance'.
Football and fans in particular have short memories. If, through no fault of his own, we do poorly next season, there will be taxi calls again. We're reasonably (*most) normal on here, can you imagine a toxic Facebook? People shout abuse after a single defeat.
Some say money isn't a motivation, but if a club offers him beyond our means and can serriously secure his families future, then he's no more immune to that than the rest of us.
I too hope Leicester isn't an option, but again, locally, he's known better, he did play for them and if Enzo is sacked by Christmas, I'd be amazed if he wasn't considered.
Imo someone will ask, he deserves the opportunity and I pray that we can match his ambition.
