Why hasn't Mark Robins got another managers job yet?

If Davey managed it, surely Robins can?

 

cos he was useless!
He nearly bankrupted us, barely keeping us in the division........,and then demanded an even larger budget for this season!
He suggested it was impossible to keep us up unless he was bank rolled.

This has clearly concerned every chairman in the land!

Thus, he is still out of work.

 

LOL yes he nearly bankrupted us, of course he did. And when did he demand a larger budget? I don't recall this at all. I recall him objecting to having his budget slashed and to having his captain sold but I don't recall him demanding an even larger budget.

ps, Hill has spent over £1.8 million so far this season, I wonder how that compares with robins' budget last year.

 

Could be he is looking for the right job rather than the first one that comes up. He did well with Rotherham and kept us up, so might feel he has a good chance of a Championship/League 1 post.

Didn't Davey actually get two jobs in a month or something after leaving here?

 

im sure if he wanted one he could get one quite easily, ventura are always setting on so dont think it would be a problem.

 

Just a thought but maybe he isnt actually allowed to get another managers job for 12 months or something? He did after all leave a contract

 

Go on tell us how you know all this?
Or are you just typing complete ballox!!!!!!

 

He's applied, or reportedly applied for a couple of jobs since he left us hasn't he?

 

Mr Robins, thank-you for your application for the position of team manager at xxxxxx fc. Now, can you tell me why you left your previous position.

I left because Barnsley FC offered me a transfer budget for the following season that I considered derisory. They also stated that I would have to bring in players on lower wages. Finally, they told me that they intended to sell my best player in order to balance the books. I considered that by staying, I could only harm my future career because I did not see, given the budget I had been offered, how I could avoid the club being relegated.

And has your successor justified your view of the situation at Barnsley Mr Robins.

Well, no actually. In fact they are doing better than they were when I was in charge.

So, is your successor, in fact, a better manager than you were Mr Robins.

There is a bang as the office door closes behind Mark Robins as he leaves.

 

He left Barnsley because he was given his notice

And his position became untenable. He asked for time to think about the new budgetary constraints, he never said he found them unacceptable. That's not his side of the story, that's directly from the club. His hand was then forced by the actions of the club who handed him his notice. How can you possibly hope to move a club forward and attract new players when you are serving a notice period? It's a ridiculous position to be put in and Mr Robins took the only possible route out of it.

As it happens I think Keith Hill is a better manager than Mark Robins, but that doesn't mean that events took place how many people seem to remember them.

 

Simon Davey was reported to have applied for them too but he has publically stated that a contract clause stopped him from taking a job within the first 6 or 12 months. Perhaps Robins applied for a job but the prospect of having to pay compensation to Barnsley put potential employers off? That probably isn't the case but it could be I would assume.

 

Mr Robins, thank-you for your application for the position of team manager at xxxxxx fc. Now, can you tell me why you left your previous position.

Barnsley FC made it clear that my club captain and most influential player was to be sold against my wishes and I was informed that my budget was to be slashed to an unworkable level. I was also told that the club was to change it's policy on loan signings and that from now on there would be very little activity in the loan market, instead relying on our own youth players. I tried to engage in an adult discussion with Barnsley FC about this like many managers do in many different jobs for many employees. Barnsley FC's response to this was to give me my notice and I felt that rather than seeing out a contract at a club where I was clearly not wanted I decided it may be best for all concerned if I left immediately as having a disengaged employee cannot be good for neither the employee nor the employer. I believe I made a responsible and quite frankly selfless decision as a lesser person could have chosen to continue to receive a healthy salary whilst putting in very little effort.

And has your successor justified your view of the situation at Barnsley Mr Robins.

Well, having brought in many loan signings at the expense of some of the clubs academy players and spent over £1.8 million pound my successor has managed to lose the same amount of home games already as I managed in an entire season.

 

Youth players not used.
Anyone remember Derby away this season.
Keep up the good work Keith.
There is a long term strategy to obtain assets and help those assets with loans until they are ready.

 

Do you think we've improved under Keith Hill?

 

Cos he's really ****???

?????

 

Re: Cos he's really ****???

i think the answer to the original question is, who gives a ****........or yellow

 

Re: Cos he's really ****???

No surprise to me clubs haven't taken a punt on him. Having so little faith in his own ability that he took his ball home wouldn't have gone down well with potential employers. Sticking with us and giving it a go even if it didn't go well for him would have at least made him look like a trier. He'd be very lucky to get anything better than a mid table league one club.

 

In some aspects we've improved, in othets we've got worse. In some games we're far better and in others we are absolutely terrible, far worse than under Robins.
