OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked (7 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

So 11th out of 18 over the calendar year really

Sure but we are including certain time periods , that's why really we should be talking about the start of this season only

Its not revisionism to say we started slowly that season

I give up to be honest.

You said he isn’t someone that can make an impact, he got us promoted at the very first attempt.

modern fans…

 

[Evo1883]

Let's see that from after the wolves game

Why such specific dates ? What are you trying to prove , the form fell off really after April 6th , we had 6 games remaining of the season ?

Fans on here agreed almost entirely that the team were fucked.

I didn't mention it tbf, you and others are putting these tables up.

He got us promoted 15 months after being appointed. That isn't instant. Lots of clubs wouldn't have been patient.

As I said I am in no way being disrespectful to what he achieved

It's an awful decision that is gonna backfire. King has lost a good % of the fan base with this. Strictly if we're going on results, yes it probably is hard to argue given calander form. But why have results been poor? It is pretty clear since the summer has he been undermined, with huge changes going on around him that he's had little say in. He has been effectively demoted to a head coach whilst in position. Clearly he wanted addional more experienced signings to bulk the squad and was blocked from doing so. We've got this dogmatic approach to transfers that just isn't going to work in the Championship. All of this has conspired against Robins and has had a huge effect on him and the team. Good luck to the players Saturday, coz I'd imagine this has split them like it has the fans and the atmosphere will turn ugly very quickly if we concede early. Whoever comes in has big shoes to fill, and if they don't get off to good start people will turn on King. 28/1 for us to get relegated looks a good bet.

It's extraordinarily strange for fans to overlap form accross seasons , especially one where we were having to bring tavares off the bench at Southampton away because players were fucked

It was his first full season, he took us over when we were 13 points adrift in league 1

People are constantly on about the calender year like it represents anything

How could he have got us promoted before that?
A couple of weeks earlier if we'd made the autos, that's it.

The clammer by some to disparage his time here is fucking sickening.

Most clubs of our statue would've expected to be in the top 2 all season

 

[Robinshio]

If it wasnt for an enlarged toe nail at Wembley last April, he would certainly still be in a job

 

[TomRad85]

Some do. I think you start the season with a clean slate but when that slate also gets covered in shit i would think last seasons form also comes into the decision makers consideration.

 

[bigfatronssba]

The clammer by some to disparage his time here is fucking sickening.

The only sickening thing here is your deliberate misunderstanding of my point

 

[Calista]

Robins has mentioned "Keyboard warriors" on more than one occasion

But apparently what the keyboard warriors write exists in a bubble and has no real-world effect. Players and managers are immune because they are automatons, and owners never think to ask what the fanbase are saying.

He wanted a cup run , he got a cup run at the expense of our league season in the end .

 

[MacReady]

Due to my weird brain my ability to show emotion is fairly non existent… but I’m actually sad about this. Robins will always be a legend for what he has had to put up with.

 

[David O'Day]

Lads, he's posting things to get bites. It's his thing.

 

[clint van damme]

Your point is nonsense I'm afraid.
Including the last months of the previous season when he'd only just got through the door and the close season in your timeline to try and exaggerate your fairly weak point.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

He got us promoted 15 months after being appointed. That isn't instant. Lots of clubs wouldn't have been patient.

yep, he should have had us promoted in a month

He's fishing Clint

Where have I done that?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

so he was a failure then was he?

He’s gone, you and your lot got your way- at least don’t now try to lessen what he did for us, it’s fucking disgusting to be honest

 

[Briles]

The only sickening thing here is your deliberate misunderstanding of my point

Know your audience springs to mind. If you truly believe what you say then fine, it's your opinion. But you wouldn't walk into a wake throwing darts at a photo of the deceased would you. So maybe go for a beer instead of trying to get people riled up for God knows what reason

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Should we have been promoted instead of Luton and then followed exactly the same way as them would the sacking of Robins have been more acceptable at this point ? After all, Luton should be one of the favourites for promotion but their start has been poor .

 

[Johhny Blue]

I disagree , I don't know many that do agree tbh

Time for a new poll

 

[Evo1883]

 

[bigfatronssba]

yep, he should have had us promoted in a month

I find it very strange that you consider 6th-10th in League 2 to be "instant impact"

Thankfully Mark Robins had higher ambition than you

 

[Evo1883]

Should we have been promoted and then followed along the lines of Luton Town would the sacking of Robins have been more acceptable at this point ? After all, Luton should be one of the favourites for promotion but their start has been poor .

Fans would have been even worse imo , rob Edwards wasn't with Luton long

 

[bigfatronssba]

Oh fuck off

You're not the only one thats annoyed you know.

I loved Robins.

 

[clint van damme]

Where have I done that?

In the initial post I replied to

What have I said about him that is bad?

Here. Not sure he could have got us promoted from L1 taking over with a few games left of a shockingly mismanaged season

10th in League Two ? What planet are you on?
