A manager is always 3 games away from getting their P45
420 matches in two spells with 387 of those in his most recent seven year stint. You don't last that long without knowing what you're doing especially at a club like Coventry which has been in turmoil for most of his tenure. In the summer of 2023 they sold Gustavo Hamer and Viktor Gyokeres for a combined £36m. I'm not sure that he was given all of that to build the team. He won't be out of work for long that's for sure.
Talking about Gyokeres, of course he scored hat-trick against City this week to make it 23 goals in 15 games for Sporting this season and a total of 64 goals in 67 appearances since he left Brighton. For just £1m!!! The £20m that Sporting paid Coventry looks a relative snip, given the likes of Arsenal and United as potential purchasers and this has to be one of Tony Bloom's biggest financial mistake. Not that he makes, to be fair, that many of them.
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.

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.
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.
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 ?

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.

Checking their recent results, they haven't even been that bad. They lost their lost game vs Derby, but won the previous ones against Boro and Luton.
