Not saying it isn't but Mark Robins is sometimes portrayed on here as a bit special, he was doing okay nothing more and was similar at Huddersfield. The trouble here we have been in the doldrums that long any new manager who wins three on the bounce is hailed the new Messiah, then we come down to earth with bump.
If he was what people made him out to be on this site. He would have achieved at Huddersfield. Apparently here he took over the worst squad ever assembled by man kind and achieved. Yet at Huddersfield he was given cash and did nothing.
The squad prior to DMC drew with Yeovil who got promoted ( was a disgraceful result at the time, apparently) drew with Sheff Utd ( where apparently today a draw with them against 11 men is good) and drew with Bury ( poor result)
MR right place right time ok manager knew the right additional players to bring in. For everyone that worked for him, he bought another in that clearly didn't) so not that much genius really.....
Our managers start at the bottom of the hill I am afraid, you can't be that unlucky that many times when it comes to hiring managers. Robins looks good because he ran before it went to rat shit. Eric Black and Roland are the same they got sacked before it went shit.
Gordon Strachan was a good manager and proved it after he left us.
We are a club in constant decline if we got an owner like Southampton, Brentford or Bournemouth did . Our average managers would suddenly look amazing until we got to level playing field. Unfortunately when heading in our direction I think our playing field is the middle of league one.
