  • Sure he'll walk into another Championship job if he wants to, so that's some comfort.

    Mark Robins sacked by Coventry. Not doing amazingly this year but you’d think he has credit in the bank.

    A manager is always 3 games away from getting their P45

    This is up there for one of the craziest decisions I've seen for a while. Robins I thought had so much credit in the bank that he'd get the time to turn things around. Won't be out of work for long I'm sure, Hull should probably be straight on the phone if their owner hasn't lost the plot.

    Or Cardiff, they're still looking aren't they?
  • Wouldn't be at all upset to see him as Charlton manager (not suggesting we sack Jones)
    Godden could have a word...
  • Rumours they want to take Bloomfield from Wycombe, that would shake up L1 a bit. 
  • Utter madness.  I can only guess something happened in the background that we aren’t privy to like he was sniffing around for a job and CCFC got wind of it.

    if not then it’s absolute lunacy from them

    Coventry were 17th in the Championship so despite being the 3rd longest manager at one club in the top 4 tiers after Pep and Weaver at Harrogate (his Dad's Chairman) Mark Robins loses his Job.

    When you sell your main striker Viktor Gyökeres to Sporting Lisbon for 20 million who would've thought they may struggle once a guy with 41 goals in 110 apps leaves !

    45 goals in 43 games and 15 assists at Sporting Lisbon has elevated him to top trumps and  helped Reuben Amorim get the gig at Man United.
  • Absolute madness from Cov, he surely is so far in the green with positive credit 
  • Really surprised at this.  Wasn't so long ago they absolutely battered Spurs for 90 mins, then somehow lost in injury time.

    That statement reads like an endorsement of his time there and reasons why they won't sack him, but they did anyway! 
  • Odd as well, given they had a great comeback against Luton the other week, so its not like the players weren't playing for him 
  • Someone isn't happy about it

    I can see why they aren’t happy. Owners generally don’t succeed as chairman in this day and age
  • Wolves will be looking for a new manager if they lose against Southampton so wouldn't rule out them going for Robins 
  • Crazy decision by Cov.  Give it 2 years they will be back in L1 close to going bust again and wishing they still had him.

    Because their defence also has more holes in it than usual?
  • Gareth Ainsworth linked with the Shrewsbury vacancy. It's weird how unsuccessful he was at QPR, but he had a great record at Wycombe.

    Given where they are in the table, you've got to wonder if its more than just a Manager problem, given they finished 18th last season and 20th the year before - Looks like their delayed execution wont be put off for much longer if they continue being ran the way they are.

    as Simon Jordan likes to say 'its more nuanced than that'
    different squad of players being the main one

    Can't believe Ten Hag is gone. He was doing a great job and should have been given more time 



    RVN will put himself in the shop window for a decent managers job even though unlikely to be United as every loss is a "disaster" as Ex United players go on about ad nauseam on various TV and social media platforms.

    4 matches later:
    Ruud has definitely put himself in the shop window for a Managers job after 3 wins and a draw and the mood just relaxed at United as soon as he was interim.

    Great players don't always make great managers but RVN has a chance if he can go to the right club with a decent infrastructure and ambition. I wonder where and at what level that will be at ?
  • Lampard linked with the Coventry job. I hope they crash and burn.

    Probably similar to PSV. I would like him to continue his trend of managing former clubs- Hamnburger SV in 2. Bundesliga? Doubt he'll go for another English club other than United (please don't link him to Coventry)

    I have a feeling that he probably feels like he's been shafted by United. I suspect when he went to United he must've thought that Ten Hag isn't going to last long so then the job will be mine.
