They comfortably had the biggest wage bill in league 1... Thats money spent.
They got promoted from league 1... Not league 2 and league 1 like Robins... What's your argument?
They comfortably had the biggest wage bill in league 1... Thats money spent.From what I can see they spent a similar amount to us - Agard was £750,000 the same as Godden
I can’t see them going down
we’d cease to exist as a realistic competitive club if we are relegated
tbf, Steve Cotterill is an entirely decent manager.They comfortably had the biggest wage bill in league 1... Thats money spent.

Totally irrelevant though, when we already have an entirely decent manager at the club already.
He won League 2 with Notts County - he has more promotions on his CV than Robins. They are totally comparable
If they don’t they won’t be far off they looked very poor last night
I think you're going down a rabbit hole with this really. His job at Cheltenham was astonishing, given his budget, and where the club was when he took over, steadying Portsmouth given their circumstances was a top, top job, his firing up of Notts County was remarkable.I agree he's a decent manager... But he never did what Robins did... That's all I'm stating and it's a fact
Again... No
Cotteril never took *A basket case of a club * from league 2 to the championship rebuilding it from top to bottom.
It's a nonsense comparison, and totally incorrect
Many managers have won promotion from league 2, doesn't mean they are Robins equal...
How many managers have taken a club like ours, in our predicament... To 2 promotions in 3 years in the football league... Please try and tell me
We've played 2 seasons after this at somebody else's ground to throw into the mix

Ok.. I accept that he's a decent manager... I stated this.I think you're going down a rabbit hole with this really.

You could equally argue Robins has done none of that
How about we just agree that Robins has done enough that considering his future is the very definition of insanity. That's the fight we need to have here, not running down other capable managers
Robins finished 6th in league 2 it was hardly massive success I’d have expected him to go then if that had not been achieved - even Presley achieved survival in league 1 when we were far more a basket case
Lol - surely that’s down to when both took the job. Cotterill took it before Christmas iirc and Robins with 10 games remaining. Cotterill never had the chance to manage to Bristol City in League 2 as he turned it round quickly to finish 12th
Oh dear, pressley had a pretty good side handed to him... Then when he sadly got the opportunity to build his own... Most of us spent matches flashing phone torches at each other
One of the worst managers I've ever witnessed at the club
I dont get the laugh tbh... You are comparing a situation where the club had good spending power and a healthy wage bill, to a club that went down to league 2 and started again effectively.
The Bristol argument is frankly absurd, the situations not at all alike and I don't... Once again... Get that comparison
He also won promotion with Notts County and Cheltenham
In terms of Robins, Ainsworth has achieved 2 promotions too with a considerably smaller budget both times than us
Don't give them ideas ffsIt's a nice idea but we've already got plenty of options in midfield. Plus I think he retired several years ago. How about Bakes and McSheff?
If some people really would rather keep Robins then have a shot at staying up they belong on a different forum.
If some people cannot see how Robins has transformed this club then they belong on a different planet.
Also for what it's worth - our track record in appointing new managers to achieve instant success - well let's just say it's not been over successful.
Better than Milne a man who was interviewed for the England job? Someone who worked on no budget from the mid 70’s and recruited bargain talent?
I’d even put mad as a hat Gould’s achievement of survival in season 1 as an achievement
Phil Neal managed a respectable top flight finish with a very poor squad
Then there is Sillett
He hasn’t transformed the club if we get relegated
Let me understand this; you rate Gouldy and Phil Neal as better managers than Robins?
This is the same Robins we are talking about - the man who inherited a team in absolute free-fall and has engineered two promotions back to the Championship with limited funds whilst playing outside of Cov? And playing some of the best passing football I have seen in my time watching the club.
Clueless doesn't begin to even start to cover your lack of football knowledge.
Was going to like this post until I read the final sentence!
Last time I checked we had 3/4s of the season left.
You last called for a taxi for Robins in December; 3 months later we were top of the league by 5 points with a game in hand. So just for once please have a day off from your own negativity and stupidity and get a grip.
We didn’t win an away game but by that logic Pendry was only a decent coach for our home games. Our home form was good and it was the same players for both.The mistake Strachan made was to show to much loyalty to the pathetic Pendry, Vivash shows how important the coach is. But Strachan should have gone the previous season when I might be wrong we didn’t win a single away game.
The whining excuse is Robins has achieved promotions and now has a poor team and its not his fault. Robins has spent more on one player than Gould on the entire squad in a higher league.
Phil Neal achieved a top flight finish of 11th
Robins has never to be knowledge achieved that
