Thanks for the insult.

Are you feeling confident of getting anything today because if you are you may well be alone.

Read the social media comments from Stoke fans at half time. 45 minutes with a new manager and there were so many moaning about the football already. Madness.

Stoke won 1 in 11 before today , they're on a bad run but mentally just 2 points behind us which surprised me though it was more

They might be but it was there last home game and they got a decent draw at Burnley after it.

We should judge Lampard in the same way that we think Stoke fans should judge Robins

It still makes zero sense to sack Robins, the only argument people have for it is that he was exposed without a suitable assistant... So find a suitable assistant then!?!

Ok, maybe Robins was a part of the failure in setting up an ideal coaching set up after Adi and Dennis went. But if the rumours are that Doug vetoed Robins bringing in an assistant - then he's been set up to fail.

Accept some blame in messing up the coaching structure, but for the love of God don't get rid of a proven, loyal, successful manager of 7+ years! (Especially for a nondescript man like Lampard 🤮).

Have another go at restructuring the coaching set up, which is what we've had to do for a new manager anyway.

Unless Robins was literally being obstropolous and a complete arsehole by refusing to work with any Assistant Manager in the world, then persevere with him, at least until the end of this season. Unless Lampard gets us promoted, this is never going to sit right with a large percentage of our fan base. And Doug's excuses for acting when he did have already been proven utter nonsense. Middlesbrough away was class, it's typical City under Robins we'd have gone up to Sunderland and won after the Derby defeat, and then no one could argue we hadn't turned the corner.

Obstropolous?!? Where's Suzy Dent when you need her?

He’s partly responsible for the current mess we find ourselves in and you know you’re on rocky ground when you’re making up an alternative reality to justify why he shouldn’t have been sacked.

Their managers last an average of 17 months according to sky sports ……
All the money any team could wish for & they all fuck up

Those figures will be skewed by the tenures of Hughes and Pulis I would've thought.

From Lambert through to Robins today, they've had eight permanent managers in seven years. Realistically it'll be far less than that time-wise.

Mark isn’t a fast starter so may have been a bit of naivety to choose Stoke- also feels like he hasnt had much say over the coaching set up there and we do know how much he relies on that.
When he came back here, other than the JPT it took us a long time to get going in L2 and Stoke certainly don’t seem to have the patience/desperation that SISU had with managers.

People who think our squad is terrible should take a look at that Stoke side. Without Cannon there is not much there. People mocked Robins for looking at BTA but he walks into that team.

Add in the likelihood of getting sacked in 3 months and that the job is based in Stoke... can't really see the appeal.
