Is Robins Stoke manager? If you think we could get Neil then I don’t see Robins as much more of a reach.

The four main factors will be:

1. how much they will be getting paid
2. How highly they rate our current squad and what they think they can achieve with it
3. What sort of budget they are told they will have in Jan
4. What the board are telling them the minimum requirement is for this season, and if they think it’s attainable given the above. Although if point 1 is high enough then they probably don’t care if they get sacked anyway so will give it a go

I think Robins will be a harder sale, similar stature of club, less of a jump in finances compared to Millwall, and probably backs himself to finish higher than Wall anyway.

Maybe less of a jump but still a considerable jump (this season and probably next anyway). It will be more if he genuinely thinks he can get Stoke up this year, if he doesn’t he may view us as a better route to the PL longer term

Yeah I think he'll fancy his chances at Stoke more than us this season and the gap won't be so big next with likely a lot of squad turnover again.

Once parachute payments run out us and Stoke will be a similar level financially whereas Wall will still be a level below.
 
Would love Robins, he’s one I wanted a while ago, but I doubt he’ll leave Stoke for us now.

We will likely be looking at unemployed managers now, who would want to risk their career on a basket case like us now?

We still have next season as a parachute payment team though and will likely raise another chunk from player sales, so yeah depends how much he backs himself in that scenario.

My Bristol City mates reckon they spent less than a mil this season on new players and are currently in the play offs so, if you get the manager right, you don’t need to spend too much as this league is really **** in terms of quality

Ornstein is usually quite reliable. Should probably prepare for this Tonda bloke getting the job.

Fair enough. I just don't think that with the context of current league positions that we'd appear a big step up from Stoke even with parachute payments. Whereas from Millwall we would.

As I said last week I'd still definitely ask the question but I wouldn't be confident he'd take it at which point I'd try Neil who I'm confident would.
