    No it isn’t. He had no experience of the League he was coming into, same as Walter. They had both managed at the equivalent level in Germany, dumbass.

    Walter didnt manager in top flight?
    Walter didnt manage in europe?
    Walter didnt win a league?
    Walters never been promoted?

    So its not relevant at all it is

    Neither had managed in the league they were come into. We, so some say, should appoint someone with experience of managing in the league we are in. No different to Klopp, no experience of managing in the league he was coming into.

    Klopp had success with the best supported team in Germany.

    Going by the criteria of our fans on not606 they would have been up in arms about appointing a bloke from Denmark with little managerial experience at a senior level with no experience of the Championship.

    The intent was to compare Klopp with Walter though. Their comparative success even relative to Liverpool v City is a bit different.

    Yep farke is a better example and shows plucking foreign managers can work, but even farke had multiple promotions and success on his CV.

    Thomas Frank didn’t have any success before moving to Brentford.

    Farke had multiple promotions? From an amateur league he had 2. Didn’t win the league with the best supported club in Germany,

    Well there you go

    Thomas frank is a good example you can use

    And dont know what youre trying to insinuate with the best supported team in germany trope youve brought out twice

    He waw competing against the absolute juggernauts of bayern

    Klopp’s reputation was based on what he did at Dortmund.

    Don’t know the circumstances but on paper at least I am very surprised Robins has been shown the door at Coventry. I rated him highly even going back to Coventry’s financial problems. The expectation levels at Coventry must be huge to dump a bloke who did so much for them under incredible difficult circumstances to say the least . Whether or not Robins would come here is another hypothetical question given the clubs current problems but IF City are oiling the trap door you’d of thought someone will already have been on the blower and had a word with The Big Turk about Robins credentials and his sudden availability.

    I hope so. But he would have to allow Robins to be more of a manager than head coach (which hasn't been Acun's way so far, but hopefully he's learned his lesson), and to allow him to recruit his number 2 who Cov ditched I think at the beginning of this season.

    Surely Rob Edwards is next to be sacked? Lost 5-1 to Boro today. Coventry and Luton have been well below expectations.

    In one game. I can't believe anyone can say Robins wouldn't be a huge step up from Walter. He'll be useful if we go down to League One too as he knows how to get out of there.
