    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.

    Genuinely, I'd rather lose the next 2 and get in a proper manager. I do not want to see those fuxking clowns trying to be all clever "oh look at us" all over again.

    No, he’s already got lots lined up over the next couple of months, especially around the Christmas period.

    It will be Michael Carrick.

    We'll have sacked him by then anyway.

    He would relegate us.

    And then we'd rise again presumably?

    I'd take it.

    If things get really dire, bring him in at Easter to resurrect our season

    You never know he might resurrect the team.

    Well, if this is what our senior players want then it's 100% certainly NOT something we should be doing.
