How robins does elsewhere doesn't mean anything in relation to wether he was a good manager here .
How robins does elsewhere doesn't mean anything in relation to wether he was a good manager here .The solution to whether that may be correct is how Robins gets on in his next role (presumably without Viveash), hopefully with a patient Board. If he only ever achieves L1 mediocrity, we might have a better idea.
I'd be even more worried if Lawrence, Vivesh, Robins and Boddy left!! But at least we still have Alec Williams - we should build the team around him!From Robins interview with the CT a while ago.
If you’re Doug and reading that you’d be a bit worried when both Lawrence and Viveash left wouldn’t you.
Who's that?I'd be even more worried if Lawrence, Vivesh, Robins and Boddy left!! But at least we still have Alec Williams - we should build the team around him!
Yes, without wanting to disrespect the OP the idea that Robins was just the face of Vivesh was clearly one that has been pushed over the last couple of days but the first 3 posts comprehensively answered this question and at least one of them was Robins out.I would say a combination of everyone involved but that doesn't mean they were irreplaceable
Robins had a 51.5% win percentage in his first spell without Viveash or Lawrence.
Ahh but who made the biggest and most holes Adi or Mark or Dan?Yup. It's like trying to pick holes in a lump of cheese that's already very holey.

The disagreements stem from whether you believe that Robins was capable of recreating what we had before in the absence of Vivesh. I do, Doug and Nick apparently don't; but we will never know.
Oooo what infoI've got to admit, afrer last night and some info I've received today I think letting Robins go was the correct decision.
I think it's been handled badly, think it's dragged on longer than necessary and think some of the bullshit which people have swallowed didn't need airing but ultimately its the correct desicion.
I hope the new man insists on a clear out and his own team coming in.
Oooo what info
I am surprised you've changed your mind. Nothing more than thatWhy you wowing cam?!
How did they unravel?I posed this question a few weeks back, and was shot down in flames for being disloyal.. it does seem to me that things began to unravel once he left. But then again the entire structure has changed since so who knows!
Exactly why and where we've arrived at today... the former structure not being what it used to be .. a successful structure...How did they unravel?
To be fair, we did have David McGoldrick in the team who scored 16 goals in 22 games, who I believe was signed by Thorn before MR arrived.I would say a combination of everyone involved but that doesn't mean they were irreplaceable

So many factors isn't there. It's not as simple as if you are a good manager, you are a good manager anywhere.How robins does elsewhere doesn't mean anything in relation to wether he was a good manager here .
We were in the top division for a good chunk of that time not lg2 and 1. Therefore using win% is pretty flawed as a comparative measure.Robins had a win percentage over 50% in his first spell at our club without Adi Viveash.
Adi contributed to our success and I don't want to knock his accomplishments but which Coventry City managers have achieved a better win percentage since World War 2 than Robins achieved without Viveash?
Has anyone done better on that measurement of success?
Lol what?We were in the top division for a good chunk of that time not lg2 and 1. Therefore using win% is pretty flawed as a comparative measure.
Very much doubt he was anywhere close to being in the running for England.MR missed the England job by weeks
I think he is saying "small fish, big pond" for a lot of the time (top tier), then bigger fish, smaller pond during Robins' first tenure. Implying that the same management set-up would never have worked in the top league, therefore he wasn't the most successful post-war manager. At least, i think that's what he may mean!!!Lol what?

I very much doubt it.It's going to be Carr isn't it?
I very much doubt it.
King said we needed an elite tactician that we don’t currently have. He can hardly turn round and appoint Carr who was already on the coaching staff after that.
