If you go back a few months and had the choice of:
a) lose both Gyokores and Hamer
Or b) lose MR

Which would you have honestly chosen?

 

[fatso]

Would definitely of been our greatest manager of all time, until that 1 fateful decision .......






Letting Dabo take a fucking penalty!

Not his fault the opponents scythed Hamer's ankle

 

[hamertime]

Without him there is nothing. Many came before and failed miserably.

Didn't we discuss this to death just a few weeks ago?

I was gonna reply ‘in the dugout’ but then I read the thread

I don’t recall. Apologies if I missed something.

Yeah during the playoffs it was "where will MR rank if we go up" or something? Lots of people ranked him top regardless, some said it was silly to compare eras, others stuck up for Sillett (and Gordon Milne in a few cases) but generally they were regarded as nothing by comparison to MR.

Just behind Kenny Jackett for me.

Different question. I was asking only about tenure. Too lazy to look it up. I have people for that.

Ah so just who is our longest serving manager? Can the AI look that up?

As you can see, people are answering that he's the best!

Fair do's. Long way to go!: List of longest managerial reigns in association football - Wikipedia

People still think you're asking if he's the best though!

 

[Finham]

So Fred Everiss managed WBA for 45 years, 9 months and 30 days.

Thanks for the research.
As for other people’s input I only have the King’s English to work with. They either get it or they don’t.

Can you imagine the state of the "Sky Taxi for Robins" threads should Robins break Fred's record in 39 years ( by then aged 92-3)?

Handi bus for Robins

Not even close, keep MR

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

In terms of impact, there is not a Coventry manager who has turned the fortunes of the club around like Robins has since Jimmy Hill.

Doesn’t mean he was technically the best football mind. But Robins is very comfortably Top 2 of all time.

I’d have rather kept Robins than Hamer and Gyokeres. A manager with good leadership qualities are in shorter supply then a quality midfielder and/or strikers.

 

[bawtryneal]

He ( and Adi Vivash) will take us back into the Premier League.

 

[Hertsccfc]

A for me, although I suspect Viveash is also very important.

It’s not a secret, Robins has credited his team along the way! MR has out together a good team on the pitch and off it!

Include Dennis Lawrence to that too! Remember when he stepped in for MR and Viveash and we battered Sheffield United 4-1!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Getting Robins and Viveash to sign 4 year deals was the best signing of all this year.

A

manager over players every time

Unless the manager is Thorne or Slade and the players are Hillsner, DaCosta, Kastaneer, Agogo etc. Then there’s not much to choose between.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Any updates on the original question?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

If Mark Robins gets us into the premier league then, number one.

I see you missed it as well
