Home to Coventry next. Given that nobody knows who may be in charge next season, anyone worried that Lansdown might invite a certain opposition manager up for a chat? 

Disclaimer: Just mischief making really... though I wouldn't be ****ing surprised. 😠

If SL lets Nige leave, I think Jason Euell’s name will be high on the list.

I wouldn't say 'no chance'.

My bet is Lansdown would suddenly find a treasure chest.

Whilst I agree lansdown would give robins more than what big nige has had it still wouldn’t match the budget cov has . He’s been able to spend some of the gykores money and will still have other money remaining in their budget . 
 

Obviously we all have differing opinions but mine is that if we don’t keep Pearson after this season we won’t get anyone better under the current ownership .

Well, we don't differ on this. 

The reason that I am (slightly) worried is that I think we have the best manager we have had in a long time. Just for clarification.

Yes. I think that you are correct. 

I don't like your first five words though.

More likely Andy King

Hope not. 

Not with any justification really, I have nothing against King, but if we were to go along the internal appointment route (which we all know, bar Robins, Lansdown will), I just have a feeling (nothing more) that Euell would be the best option. 

What the **** am I talking about? The best option is to keep Nige. Obvs!

But only after a long and extensive search. #Holden 

Please kindly note that this ISN'T a dig at Jason, more a poke at the intensive recruitment process undertaken when Holden was appointed.

HE WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

A new contract for NP is also my preferred option. 
 

But I can see a situation where if we don’t finish top 10, Nige is let go and Euell promoted. Conway, Vyner or Pring sold for decent money, Euell given about 10% to spend and expected to perform miracles.

I could see him coming here. But do we really want him? Someone who thinks Palmer and JD on decent wages are good signings…..yes he’s done a great job at Coventry but don’t think he’s a step up on Nige. However the current 14th place is grating.

So it would mean Lansdown hasn’t learnt from Fawthrop, Tinnion, Millen, Holden. 

Well Scott Davidson was chairman when Fawthrop was appointed, but no I don’t think he has learnt and I think he’d love to see an internal appointment succeed. Otherwise why keep doing it?

I would have had him here years ago. 

But now we have someone better. Who is a better fit. 

Robins wouldn't have the first idea how to do the job that Pearson has done here.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have to. And Lansdown has (allegedly) wanted him for years. 

It's scary

What is interesting is that last summer Coventry did exactly what we did, sold 2 of their best players Gyokeres & Hamer for mega money, like we did with Semenyo & Scott.

Difference was Coventry’s chairman didn’t give Mark Robins 80p to spend like SL gave Nige, but he got all of it, breaking their transfer record for Haji Wright & paying millions for many of the 11 that he brought in.

Part of me thinks therefore why on earth would Robins want to move on, he’s just been given the biggest budget in his managerial career, however the counter argument I suppose is if he doesn’t achieve this season he can’t play the poor Coventry card any more.

Because Lansdown likes Robins. So he will give him assurances that the wallet would be opened. And it would. 

Not for the bloke that has earned it though. 😠😠😠😠😠😠

Cov fans not overawed with their performances this season, feel like their funds from Hamer & Gyokeres not been spent in the correct positions. Simms has a lot more to do to convince them of his £8m pricetag. Particularly troubling them are having Liam Kelly & Josh Eccles in the midfield, with some injuries in those positions as well, which I think Kelly has just added to. Cov there for the taking if you ask me!!!

Scott Davidson didn’t want Fawthrop, he was outvoted by the board, SL was a strong supporter. You may recall Scott made that infamous quote that no other club in the football league would appoint TF as manager. Astonishing.

Tony Fawthrop...... now if there was ever a more nonsense bizarre appointment

Managed / ran some successful boys teams in Bradford / Leeds area , got his nose in at Leeds but never managed anything other than schoolboys in his life , and not a coach either.

His scouting pond was anywhere he could watch within a short drive from his home base in Yorkshire , didn’t scout opponents , just players

One of those in life who stumbled....or ....schemed....upwards

I think Coventry will be thinking the same about us.

With good cause as well.

I can see us getting a point from the next two home games.

In fairness he, Burnside and Leroy Rosenior did a good job after the Pulis debacle, taking us all the way to Wembley in AWS final. Still can’t forgive Louis for racing away moaning at the ref whilst Kavanagh fed Thorne for the winner (always wanted both of those at City).

That's for reminding me of that. One of the most unprofessional things I've seen a City player do. 

Also remember Billy Mercer had been injured for a while but then miraculously declared himself fit for the final, got beat at the near post by Father Ted (Kavanagh) and then went back on the sick list after the final.

If we are all guessing future managers I reckon if Lansdown could persuade Tinnion to have another crack at it he would, seriously. But I don't think Tinnion would be swayed. 

As for Euell, King etc I would imagine how Pearson exits would affect their loyality which would be to him rather than the club I would think, they would follow him if things were sour here.

Fawthrop did steady the ship tbf, and what a mess that was, he was very close to getting the job, Till his business dealings came to light, I think it was Davidson who said 91 clubs in this league would not employ him, far as I remember moyes took him to Everton 

“So close to getting the job” that he actually did.

To add to an already well stirred pot......

Might Nige take on the role of Director of Football - or equivalent, with someone like Robins brought in as Manager?

No. I don't know either mind. 

I think he’s already undertaking a role that allows him to have as much influence over the football side without having to deal with the “other side” like Finances and Agents.

Would have Robins here tomorrow 

I wouldn't. May as well bring GJ back as they are similar sort of managers. It could be argued that their achievements in the game have been very similar. 

I've watched enough of Coventry to know I'd not want that style of football here. Coventry fans are unhappy that he's pissed 25 million up the wall on players that look out of their depth at this level. 

That's why I compare Robins to GJ. Great when there is no budget but ultimately fails when there is a budget. 

Handing JD a 4 year contract is a prime example of why I'd not want him here.

Let’s hope their fans remain unhappy come 5pm on the 21st 🤞

The money Robins has spent this summer reminds me very much of when we gave LJ a war chest. 

Coventry fans don't rate their new signings, especially Wright and the consensus us that the money that has been spent has been spent badly.

So the counter argument would be, why would we want a manager who's seemingly spent 25 million plus wages on a load of donkeys?

I suspect it will be another game where we are going to have to try and break down an away team. 

Although Coventry do seem to have gone from being a direct team to one that has a bit more possession. 

From what I've seen of Coventry it appears that Robins sets the team up to get a point and hopes they can get a lucky goal. 

Their game against Huddersfield would not have been out of place in league two.

I like the management team we have right now atm, with Nigel taking a DoF role and moving Euell into his post with King into Jason’s place could work, Fleming is a great assistant too, full of character, players have respect for them all, but what do I know

I like James Piercy but blimey can’t you tell it is the international break.

This “story” is basically someone on the radio mentioning Nige, there’s no possibility whatsoever of it actually happening..
