His assistant is the one he wanted to bring in after Adi that Doug vetoed

Be very interesting to see if he states that openly or not. If he does there will be a few questions from our fanbase and rightly so
Guess we’ll see how Chris Ramsey does with him.

Curiously any luck with the player’s name who’s coming in?

Why will there ? I think we know the answer ??

Doug decided to fire him and didn’t want to add to the compensation billl he already had coming with Adi, Robins, Boateng, etc.

I think King made it pretty clear that he was constantly prodding Robins to bring on board a proven assistant and by the time he reluctantly proposed Ramsey King had decided his time was up.

If Robins is as bad as some would love you to believe they will get relegated as their players are not as good as ours.
Some good players at Stoke, they shouldn't be in a relegation battle. I'd imagine they'd be more than happy with midtable in their current position though.

I can't believe some of the comments (from the usual suspects tbf).

If, as expected, this happens and he comes back on the 8th March, I hope he gets a f*&king brilliant reception. Forgetting the start to this season and the debate about whether he spunked eleventy billion £s on the current squad, he was the main reason our club climbed from the depths of despair to within a couple of kicks of the EPL and into the FA Cup SFs. Ultimately the success under Robins potentially help rid us of Sisu as well.

I'm lucky enough to remember 87....a lot on here won't. Under MR, we had a few trips to Wembley including a couple of memorable days that will live with me forever.

Yes, people can point to AV and DR as helping massively but Robins was the one constant in our rise from the depths of L2 to almost getting to the EPL.

It seems that maybe some think it's cool to hate on him because of the last 6-9 months. Pretty sad really.

Good luck to him wherever he goes. He's a decent bloke and deserves any good thing that comes his way (apart from when his teams play us, obvs).

The truth will be that he'll get a cracking reception and will deserve it. I just can't see Stoke keeping him that long given their record so hopefully it works out.

This. In spades. Well said.

Hopefully he'll be keen to reunite with Austin and take Dasilva and Binks off our hands.

Doesn't need a good goalkeeper though does he. The one at Stoke is the one that we should've signed instead of Collins. 🙈

That will save Stoke a lot of hassle.
You know what it's like with these assistant positions, everyone who applies actually wants to be head coach!

When he walks in to training on day one and sees a proper goalkeeper actually stopping some shots

This makes me bit sad. It's one thing sacking him. It's another seeing him take over another club

Just think how you're gonna feel if Mark Robins gets Stoke into the playoffs. 🤮

Hear hear.

Think MR deserves a break from my usual "don't applaud for the opposition" rule.

Not afraid to say, I love the guy, he made me love my club again!

I don't think he will but if he does it doesn't mean he'd have achieved it here.
In the same way if it all goes wrong for him and they get relegated doesn't mean that would have happened to us.

His time here was what it was and only a fool would look on it as anything other that very successful, but new chapter for both parties now.
