PFree Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Please no, don't appoint Mark Robins - okay, he's done okay with limited resources previously but we all really need a lift at the moment and I'm sorry but this appointment wouldn't achive that? Is there a single person on here who is looking forward to the bookies clear favourite being appointed? I appreciate money is a consideration but results happen for a reason and we really must have somebody in who can take us to the next level. I'd love to see Dave Jones brought in - he has the Championship experience, track record and contacts within the game to make it happen and really make a difference - if it's possible, please, let's have him!!

Pederho ll Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 An MR appointment will tell me that the board have lost all of their drive to push this club forward. It will also signify that Lansdown has had enough of pumping money into our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Another +1 here. Love to see someone who stalks the touchline, showing passion, inspiring, motivating and demanding effort for the full 90 minutes from the whole squad. From what i've heard so far the guy is McInnes.... but please not Robins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club is at a low enough ebb at the moment and IMO the appointment of MR would do little or nothing to lift the fans, or the image of the club. He may do ok, but the signs are certainly not promising from his previous work. If we do go the MR route, no amount of bigging up by the board is going to convince the supporters that this club still has ambitions of moving on to better things.

bangers Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Mcinnes or Jones for me..... We are a team with high aspirations and Robins has no experience with a side like us.

bangers Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 You know, there is potential that Robins isnt being seriously considered. Maybe the board will shock us and announce Mcinnes and Jones as the final 2. No, maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I don't think the board give a toss what the fans think,and decision will be based on finances,and not progress,hope I'm wrong though The problem being that football is a game of opinions and we all have different views. I don't want MR or David Jones. MR = dull middle of the road easy option for the board showing no ambition.. DJ = ex Cardiff manger even with best team in league failed to gain promotion or keep players under control . Time for a clean sweep young ambitious manager required but he must be allowed to manage and bring in his own people. Del Boy McInnes for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I agree Taunton_City. It seems as if we have some arrogant fans who believe their 'opinion' is better and more valid than others. Give the bloke a chance. Didn't Colin S say candidates weren't just being judged on their past. If Robins gets the job its because he did well at interview too. Perhaps all 10000 members can sit on the interview panel so we get who we all want. (Shame he doesn't exist). What if he gets the job City fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betelgeuse Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I've spent the past few days studying the 3 main guys linked to the job. In order of my preference: 1) McInnes. Highly thought of and would bring something new and fresh to the club. Ok not the most experienced but seems to have been a leader on the pitch throughout his career. I've heard a lot of positives about him and I think he'd be worth the risk. 2) Dave Jones. Very experienced and has a decent record with most of his clubs. Can attract decent 'named' players. Maybe wages and money in general might put the board off? I don't think the current board are strong enough to cope with the demands he might bring. I don't think the board are positive enough to take that chance. 3) Robins. Obviously people will look at this as the easy and cheap option. If he is appointed then the fans will say they went for the easiest option and that won't sit well with the fans and i doubt would bring many floating fans back. Robins seems to be a guy who can get something out of average players and average teams but could he take us beyond that? For me, if we appoint him I can see us having these exact types of conversations on this forum in 2 years time! I think he'd keep us up but next seasn we'd be one of those 13th-20th finish teams. I think the appointment will show us what sort of ambition the board has for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFree Posted October 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Oh FFS!!! What is everyones problem with Mark Robins!!! From my perspective, it's not a "problem" I have, it's more that other candidates have more experience, proven track record and contacts within the game - what does MR bring in your view? On a personal basis I just feel the club needs a real lift at the moment to get everybody back together, and in my opinion, I don't believe that after a truly awful period in it's history, having chosen the "cheap option" a MR appointment would send out all the wrong messages once again?

marmite Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 The most high profile managers on the list may not get the best out of this club. If it was that simple, we would all know who we would like. Having said that, I can't see some of the names on the list being any more inspiring to the fans than KM was when he was appointed. The club needs a massive instantaneous boost. We can't go another 10 or 15 games trying to get it right. Robbins does not get my enthusiasm up so for me he would be a no! However, whoever gets the job will get my support for at least the rest of this season (ticket). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
