Can’t believe what I’m reading, 4 games into the season! We are lucky to have Robins and should be careful what we wish for.

Don’t think anyone’s said they want him gone, someone mentioned if he was to leave,it’s carried on from there

Don't think anyone has been calling for a change of manager but questioning some of the goings on is well within our rights.

Fingers crossed you are right though and MR takes us to the champions league.

Preston and Norwich are just average teams, but we made Norwich look like a top-two side on Saturday. It was an easy game for them, and it was actually their first win of the season. As for Oxford, they’re a poor team and will likely be near the bottom of the table by Christmas. If we’re clinging to decent performances against a newly promoted side that won’t do well in the league, then I don’t know what to say. We struggled against Oxford and only won due to a last-minute back pass. With a £40 million squad aiming for the playoffs, we should be doing much better.

Oh give it a rest. They won with a deflected goal having had very few other chances. It was by no means a good performance from Cov but your post is over the top

 

[fernandopartridge]

It was £18m in the 22/23 accounts, looks like the articles been removed from the club site after the refresh

Fairly sure it'll be £20m if not greater by now

 

[fernandopartridge]

My source here is companies house for all clubs - the wage website is nonsense and based off pure guesswork.

Since our wage bill of £18.46 million we have sold O Hare and Palmer and every summer signing (including coaching staff) are additions.

Kelly, Godden gone too which is probably £500k - £1m off the bill

that companies house figure 18.5 million is for the whole club, 196 staff, I was trying to compare playing budgets ours was well down the list

 

[Grendel]

Your right the 18.5 million is based on 197 employees, the ones ive put are players wages

They aren’t - most employees are stewards - so we spend £8m on other employees and other clubs spend £800,000? Are you being serious?

No it isn’t. It’s made up nonsense.

You cannot of been at the game, they were doing triangles around us. It was easy for them.

that was the worst performance under robins.

Big enjoyer of FGR away then were you?

That wet February match? I was there. It was woeful.

Actually bro change your fucking username. Even I'm getting confused wether I posted or not. For real this time!

It’s not 18.5 million just on players wages, that’s the whole club, can’t make it any clearer, our PLAYERS wage bill isn’t 18.5 million

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

It’s not 18.5 million just on players wages, that’s the whole club, can’t make it any clearer, our PLAYERS wage bill isn’t 18.5 million

And about 120 of them staff will be on hourly minimum wage. The player wage budget will be a lot closer to 18.5m than it is 10m

It prob will be this season,

 

[Grendel]

No it isn’t but most employees are part time. Your spreadsheet shows some clubs wages as about the same as the total wage bill in the accounts and some are miles out.

The figures you show are total guesswork and you clearly haven’t looked at the data. Your wage bill suggests Fabio Tavares earns £2k a week more than Van Ewyk and Binks earns £1.5 million a year (according to you 15% of the total wage bill). Poor Josh Eccles earns only a third of the wage of Tavares.

The only comparison you can make is a total wage bill as the proportion of commercial to playing side should roughly be the same

Just been talking about Robins in general with a couple of mates a moment ago

I have a nagging gut feeling that I can't shake, that at some point this season, Mark Robins goes

Whether King pushes him, or Robins decides he's taken us as far as he can I don't know

Just reckon this is the last season of him

I can't give any rhyme or reason why outside of gut feeling but yea

I’ve felt that. You wonder how long until Robins thinks he’s taken us as far as he can, I’m might be wrong.

I’d agree with this ‘gut feeling’ mate, as I’ve had it also. There are a few factors that have contributed to it, however I sincerely hope he stays, nonetheless.

He stays unless we fall way off the pace I think.

If it happens it would be a massive you don’t appreciate what you have till you don’t moments.

I don’t think he would be sacked mid season and I don’t think he would leave mid season. If anything happens it would be at the end of the season.

I can't even specifically pinpoint something and say 'yea this is why'

I know I sound like a fucking clairvoyant from a Facebook mother's group but I just feel it's his last season

That's exactly where I'm at - though I hope it's wrong.

It would make sense if we don’t make it this season and have to do more player sales and a rebuild that King would want someone else to have a go.

 

[San Francisco]

Think he’ll go if we miss out on the play-offs by a significant margin.
No way he’ll leave mid season unless we’re relegation threatened by Christmas.

Like you and seemingly a fair few others I have the feeling it will be his last season in charge of team affairs.
I do think he'll have a job for life at the club in some kind of executive/ director position though (should he want one of course).

Think a lot of its down to viveash going.
There's a nagging feeling Robins wasn't on board with it.

Anyone else think that play off final’s as close as we get ? But then you look at that team in the play off and realize why we didn’t win it

for some reason I thought we had a way better 11 than that ?

I thought that at the time and still do.
