Since Robins has come in or just the past few weeks?
They have brought Ray Gooding back
It's a bit of a worry on the Fisher and Seppala being good people quip. Think the judges might have something to say on Seppala on that one.
Trouble is bridges have been burned. MR might well want everyone to pull together, but pretty much every fan wants Sisu out.
Going to be a big conflict I feel. As fans I think on the whole we have always backed the managers here, at first at least anyway, but that positive statement about the owners is not going to go down at all well with the fanbase.
Not a good start I don't think to wanting to get the fans on his side.
If we end up challenging for promotion next season (yeah yeah, I know) the fans will bang on about how Fisher and SISU have learned from their mistakes, and how they're not that bad really.The fans will love him if he wins games even if he says Hitler was right to bomb Coventry.
They'll hate him if he loses games even if he marches with a Sisu Out banner.
Such is the lot of a football manager.
Yeah, get that, but can't remember any other manager of ours being so glowing in their praise of our owners.Oh yes, Robins should join the Trust. He's got to keep the owners sweet as much as possible, we don't want a terrible relationship between him and them as it'll only make things worse. He should have swerved that question but he answered in genuinely I believe.

Thing is, as Blackpool especially proved, a one-off good season doesn't mean there are good owners hanging around. FWIW I believe Robins when he says he wants to build a club... I actually believe Fisher(!) when he says similar, but they're hamstrung by who owns us, and other external circumstances.All any of us really want is a successful club. If Sisu finally manage that I'll (grudgingly) support them. I just have no faith that they can.
A lot of scouting these days is done on line. There's a few systems (think one is called Scout7), basically you subscribe and get access to all players data, video etc. Even if we don't have something like that in place it can't be more than a phone call to get it set up.How hard is it to make a bloody database to keep things in? I'll make them one for free! Staff can use it while at the club, when they leave they dont have access to it.
Most of that is pretty hard to argue with. The Fisher and Sepalla are good people bit is odd, to say the least, but he's worked with them and would have had more contact with them than anyone on here so who knows.

This is the bit I love about the appointment of a new manger, the early press conferences, saying all the right things, the optimism.
Couple of months down the line, (weeks in Slades case), he's a wanker and you want him driven out of the club so you can go through the whole charade again!
Fisher pays his wages... he's not going to bite the hand that feeds himNo, not that we heard anyway and I doubt it. It was pre-recorded from this morning.
Interesting that he spoke to Talksport before other media. Same with TF...it's like they've become our official media outlet now.
Also interesting that he said TF is a good bloke. The whole situation just confuses me more and more....what good is he delivering to the club that encourages Robins to say things like that?!
Yes that's what he saidWas that last Sunday as in 2 days ago?

That's Pressley, Mowbray and now Robins who have said the club has no infrastructure. Why? I thought Venus was putting that in place? I hope Venus is told to get on his bike
Nick did i read that Venus is off sick with Stress? Or is that another word for doing some gardening?Surely what Venus should be doing.
I thought TM reinstated the scouting system when he took the job full time because SP had taken his laptop with him? What happened to it? Was it dismantlemed again the moment he left? Did it happen when he was still here? If it was was that TM's call or was the rug pulled from under his feet? Maybe it's a reflection on the playing budget and TM had no choice to dismantle it? By my reckoning that's the second time in as many years we've had to build a scouting system we apparently don't have. What is going on behind the scenes exactly? That statement alone asks more questions than it answers.
Have they?
Surely TF has earned that right before Venus? Venus has only been here 5 minutes in comparison to Fisher and unlike Fisher Venus wasn't here pre Mowbray. What's Fishers excuse?
I have a mate who runs his own engineering business and employs about 20 people and he is the biggest c**t in the world with regards how he treats some of his staff and customers but outside that environment he is a really nice family orientated guy , very generous and very supportive so it's a view taken that his staff think what a horrible c**t he is and I think he's a great guy. I don't know Fisher and therefore refer to all that I hear and read and make own opinion that he is a c**tAgreed but he could've swerved it. He would surely know the feeling towards TF.
I don't think a scouting system essentially belongs to a manager, surely the club should be putting in place systems so they retain this information (business intelligence i think they call it thesedays)
If that is true I am well over the moon the guy is a legend with the youngsters. To boot I have spoken to him in the past at the White Lion and he comes across as a really likeable guy and his contacts and knowledge within in the game are still goodThey have brought Ray Gooding back
Here you go. This is what TM said he wanted before taking the job full time back in April 2015 'Match my ambition and I'll stay' Coventry City boss Tony Mowbray tells club
Here's what Waggott had to say Coventry City chief executive busy putting together a new scouting network
That was 2 years ago yet we are still apparently in the same same place structurally. What's the betting that give it two years we'll still be in the same place structurally but MR will be long gone and we're bottom of the league again with SP having just signed on as manager and the same nonsense about building the club, direction and good people gets regurgitated again. That's the pattern that seems to be forming anyway.
I have to assume that something else is going on behind the scenes that makes MR more comfortable that it did beforeAs for the owners looking for direction the only direction they need is to the door. Seriously if they don't have direction by now they never will. Sounds like MR has been sold a line or two to me.
