MARK Robins is believed to have cleared his desk at Coventry City’s training ground as he tries to force through a move to managerless Huddersfield Town.
The Telegraph understands the Sky Blues boss is keen to join the Championship survival battlers despite City rejecting a formal approach from the Terriers.
Town made the 43-year-old their number one choice to replace Simon Grayson and although Coventry insist he is still their manager, it looks increasingly likely that the club will be looking for their 12th boss in just over 11 years.
It is believed Robins – who has been at the club just under five months – is locked in talks with club chiefs as he looks to engineer a move to West Yorkshire
He has a release clause in his contract which says the club are unable to stop him leaving if an interested club stump up a six-figure compensation payment, although it is understood that has not yet been triggered.
Although Robins was at Ryton today he did not take training, and suspicions were roused that he was considering his future when he cancelled a pre-arranged meeting with the Telegraph at the training ground minutes before the appointment.
It is understood that first team coach Steve Taylor and fitness coach Darren Robinson are also set to leave and have already said their goodbyes at the training ground.
