Just interested to see if feelings have changed or not? I’ve added a third option for those like myself that are now undecided.
Shouldn't the poll be "are you a city fan through thick and thin"?
Yes we've been shite now for around half a season, and we're all fucking sick of it, but we've had massive changes of staff, and a number of players in and out.
A win yesterday and things would be looking up going into the break. But we are Cov so it's never going to be that simple.
Imo (fwiw) I'm giving MR the whole season, I feel we owe him that for picking the club up out of the gutter and giving us something to be proud of. There were loads of times under SISU were he could of spat his dummy out and fucked off (again) but he stayed and turned it around.
In many respects he's become a victim of his own success, as expextation levels have now rocketed. And he's been badly let down by some players who cant/won't take responsibility when it matters.
I think he needs an experienced no2 ASAP
And we need a couple of experienced heads in in Jan.
It's the same poster starting the threads.Are we going to do this every week?
The whole season - even if it looks likely that we will be relegated? Madness.Shouldn't the poll be "are you a city fan through thick and thin"?

Very intrigued by the lack of a taxi thread from a certain poster. Maybe because it’s not as edgy a thing to say as in the pastIt's the same poster starting the threads.
It appears they want Robins gone buy haven't got the bollocks to actually come out and say it.
Plus most of the players will want to fuck off so it will be a total rebuild with little funds available. I suppose Thomas, Kitching and EMC would at least have found their level though.no because being a City fan through thick and thin is a given for most if not all regular posters I would imagine - supporting Robins is a completely different question, and actually the talk about Robins going is with the aim of improving the club, not because people have stopped supporting…
the issue with giving him the whole season is quite simply that if this form continues we will be relegated - and his ‘legacy’ becomes somewhat tarnished, plus we are then faced with having to recruit a replacement with a whole different set of circumstances and a completely different brief
I’m on the fence, but I think it’s more a question for me of is it better the devil you know…? if we do change, it needs to be quick though as any new manager will need time before the January window to understand the squad and what is needed

Not a superfan at all, not by any stretch.Not the superfan stuff again.
We support the club, not the manager.
If the time is right for him to go (and I’m not saying that it is), then “supporting the club” means calling for a new manager

Just a bang average fan that's learnt not to have a knee jerk reaction to yet another shit start. And a fan that thinks we owe MR the chance to turn it round.
This is the first season we've not seen signs of progress under MR. (Yet)
Are we really going to throw him under the bus after 9 matches?
Noas an aside, if we were to go down would you advocate sticking with Robins to take us back up again..?

Tbh I'm not sure if these "polls" are helpful at the moment.I literally said “I’m on the fence and I’m interested to see what everyone else thinks”. If I wanted Robins out I’d just say I want Robins out, why would I be arsed what anyone thought about my opinion? I don’t want Robins out atm but if things carry on like this for a while then yeah I would be Robins out, I’ve not created a poll just to try and disguise my true opinion, I’m just interested in what everyone on here thinks
Tbh I'm not sure if these "polls" are helpful at the moment.
Especially the morning after a poor result when feelings are still bitter.
I want to see a new no2 to give MR help with tactics and the use of subs, which is something we have lacked for a while now.
Also a no2 who can get the players motivated more, as MR doesn't seem the type of manager to do it on his own.

Realistically, he is gone long before we get relegated but guys, seriously, what is with this mindless panic. It's unhelpful. If the fans stay with the team we will be well clear of the bottom 3 regardless of who the manager is.as an aside, if we were to go down would you advocate sticking with Robins to take us back up again..?

The next poll will be at half time of the next game.Really? Again?
Jesus.
Let’s just wind up this forum even more shall we?
We lost, we were shite, but let’s give it a bit more time.
Not at all.isn’t all that the manager’s job though? so in essence can we get a number 2 in to do the job for Robins??
without saying it, you’ve pretty much just outlined the reasons for getting rid of him

Every manager needs an good assistant.
Brian Clough was heralded as one of the best managers of all time, but even he struggled after Peter Taylor left.
The great Liverpool teams had the knowledge of people within the "boot room"
To help the managers.
MR has not had the same results since Lawrence and Viveash left, so it's a team effort that's required, it can't all be put on the shoulders of the manager.
And I'm sorry, call me an old fart, but I don't buy into this modern day nonsense like having a "sleep coach" and a sports psychologist and all that soppy bollocks.
Get a proper no2 who knows the game inside out, not some wet fart with a sports science diploma.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure he wants Robins gone but also wants to wait until that is the majority opinion before saying it to avoid taking flak. Hence the polls.It's the same poster starting the threads.
