Taxi cancelled for Robins (8 Viewers)

Robins works miracle at fearless Coventry
He arrived in the Championship with a tiny budget, tension between Coventry City’s passionate fanbase and detached owners, and having to groundshare. So what he has achieved is little short of a miracle.


In the past four years Mark Robins has won the EFL Trophy, the League Two play-offs, the League One title and, after Saturday’s results, kept Coventry up with two games left. “Play without any fear,” he kept telling his players, and they did, doing their manager and the famous shirt proud.

I have still yet to see anyone that was calling for Robins’ name a viable replacement

To be fair Grendel was right, Jackett did become available soon-because he was sacked, but still

If Robins got sacked and was replaced by Jackett that would be depressing as fuck

Not available now actually but likely will be - perfect manager swap actually other than Robins seems adverse to heading south

Never change buddy

Did I ever claim you said that? All around this time you were saying 'I wouldn't sack him but' and would then go on about Barnsley and Luton sacking their managers to stay up, Jackett would be a perfect swap etc. You aren't stupid enough to outright call for it, so you give yourself just enough wriggle room

Classic lazy journalism - found out and surrenders

I've just seen the post, absolutely hilarious, up there with his Taxi thread. He literally said Jackett would be a good swap for us if we wanted to survive. Unbelievable

I of course did not as ever a silly attempt to distort my narrative

Yes you did, how can you argue when it's there in writing.

'He was advocating a swap for Kenny Jackett'

'No I wasn't'

'He would be a perfect swap for Robins'

'Nah it was out of context, I win'

He says he wants to swap Robins, later on in the day we go and beat undefeated top of the league. You couldn't write this stuff.

 

[Grendel]

Because the context at the time was not to be sacked and exploring alternatives unless the approach changed. Much the same as the award winning “hear me out” thread - context and understanding is the key

You also have O'Day recommending we go 1 up top and 4 in midfield when we spank them playing 5-3-2

 

[Ccfcisparks]

So now will you admit you were wrong by wanting to swap Robins for Jackett?

The context being you literally said it would be a perfect swap then made multiple posts justifying why that was. I said you advocated it, you did.

 

[Evo1883]

You definitely alluded to Robins needing to change tactics in the league 2 , hear me out thread ..

This season though in this thread you literally wanted him gone .

Either way , it doesn't matter now

The purpose of this thread was that you wanted Robins out.

To be fair there were several posters on this thread that basically were a couple of millimetres off saying sack him .

I’m glad those idiots don’t run the club. It was people like Boosh who basically has no thoughts or opinions of his own, just echoes our G

Which is correct, but around that time G was consistently saying 'I wouldn't sack him but...'
