Mark Robins For Me

Of course, any appointment is not without some risk.

Robins would have had Rotherham in the play off's without the points deduction.

He is clearly "working" there and yes, without either belittling Rotherham (who I have always had a soft spot for, as they were Norwich's opponents the very first time I went to Carra') or bigging us up, we would be a step up-even if, without that deduction, they could have been playing us next season (I know, without that deduction and if we go down!)-for him.

He's had bugger all money there and has got them playing good football, winning games and doing well.

He also, though how relevant this is, I don't know-"gets" Norwich- I would hope, though the club to him now will be unrecognisable to the one he knows.

He could work with Butterworth (who I suspect will replace Gunn, come the Summer anyway) and Chippy-and not come too expensive?

Fairly logical all round then, so obviously a non starter.

  - out of interest, which mistakes? (NCFC) - Charles21, Apr 23, 10:22:46

      - That is true. But it is about taking the lesser gamble. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:26:07
        
        It is, but ALL the great managers were inexperienced at some point, you can't rule someone (NCFC) - megson, Apr 23, 10:57:53
- We don't have any money to pay compensation (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:08:55

    - I mean for another manager (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:20:39
      - Ahh. Sorry. (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Apr 23, 10:33:30
  - A contract given then on the basis of one good result. Utter incompetence. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:16:38
  - a promise of a full-time job and a big fat bonus might've helped persuade them (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:20
    - But only if they kept us up i would hope. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:17:32
    - ^^^ dependant on them keeping us up... (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Apr 23, 10:16:50
      - maybe (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:17:42
        
        OK, not sacking, but not renewing (n/m) (NCFC) - duke of york, Apr 23, 10:21:01
        
        They should not have to sack him if the deal is only till the end of the season... (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:19:32
  - If that is true then that is madness and we deserve to sink lower. (n/m) (NCFC) - jimbo, Apr 23, 10:14:35
