I'm not so confident. I think Robins is fully aware of the constraints he's under and within reason will choose to stay regardless.
He's in a no lose situation for the coming season to a certain extent. If we do well it adds to his status, if we don't he could just say he was constrained by lack of budget and everyone would believe it.I'm not so confident.

He will run out of patience at some point if he's not being backed.

Again, Robins has been walking every season so far.

Pretty sure he's SpanishI think he's Cypriot so he obviously won't go back there but I'd imagine he'd have plenty of offers in the Championship as the season progressed and managers dropped off or perhaps in Europe.
Yes, but in the championship with significantly higher wages he’s not going to get all of it back is he. This isn’t FIFA.What people want is a sustainable club. At this level even the best run club will lose millions each season without player sales. To get those player sales you need players. If a shop can’t afford to buy stock it doesn’t stay open very long.
The vision sold to us is a team making the most of its means through good scouting and coaching and progressing players. That vision requires a small amount of investment each season that is paid back once we sell our better players.
IIRC Robins is pretty much net zero in terms of transfer spending. He’s always been allowed to reinvest what he makes.
A fee for O'Hare apparently hasn't been even agreed yet. Now we're talking about Robins resigning because he's not getting any of the funds that don't exist.
It is bat sh*t crazy on here sometimes.
I really hope he doesn’t read this message board and realise the extent to which he’s not being backedHe will run out of patience at some point if he's not being backed.
Nut jobs the fucking lot of them

Again, the same as every year.

I'd imagine so. Difficult to improve on last season when two of your best players have been sold and little has been made available for him this summer. That certainly would've been a big factor in him choosing to resign.

They probably need to budget for X amount a year to cover running costs and wages etc.
We didn’t sell anybody significant last summer. This summer we need to sell someone and won’t get all of the money back to reinvest. That is literally a sustainable model as you describe it.
I wish we had an owner who was a fan and would pump £20m extra in every year and never gets bored as much as most do. But let’s not pretend it’s “investment”.
But its not the same every year is it?
The last 2 years we have spent million plus sums on players, this year we apparently can't manage a single outgoing fee without sales.
Pretty sure he's Spanish

Is Cornet leaving them a done deal / close? Not really been following that one.
We have literally already made one.
Are you referring to the 'undisclosed' for Palmer from Bristol who couldn't wait to get of him?
Oh I thought you just meant a fee, I didn't know you would be moving the goalposts.
Doesn't matter if people want to get rid of things, according to some the club can't wait to get rid of O'Hare so does that mean it will be free?

Imagine if he didn’t go, Every female Cov fan will want his babies!!
I don’t think we know the actual details for Palmer, heard undisclosed and free and free but we’re taking on his £20k/week ages for a year.
Nick, its not an attractive trait when you can never be wrong. How did I change the goalposts, please read back.

You said we couldn't manage a single outgoing fee.
I gave you an example, then it doesn't count because they wanted rid of him and it was undisclosed.
That’s what I asked the Bristol City fan who posted it, whether it was hearsay or said at a fans forum. If we are taking on 20k a week then maybe he is the O’Hare replacement
Pretty pedantic point to use though.
It's clear what he meant. Any fee paid would've been nominal at best.
I'd agree with that. She does seem to be impressively persuasive though - remember how excited Pressley was when he joined... and we then went into admin and sodded off to Northampton.Didn’t Robins meet with Joy right before he signed his new contract? I’m pretty sure he’s gone into this with his eyes open.
