Invite applications or permission for formal approach?

[Nil desperandum]

I'm confused. Robbins seems to think he's been offered the job, in which case whoever does get offered it is going to feel like the bridesmaid. If we make a formal approach surely it doesn't necessarily mean we want that person as manager but that we'd like to talk to him? My take is that we'd prefer somebody doing a sterling job at another club and snatch him away rather than a dole wallah. Anybody shed any light?

Thats it, and now Coventry and Robbins can run around claiming what a massive club they are because they wouldnt let him come here They get some kind of hard on mentioning Sunderland. All the teams in this division do

Robin's basically just admitted that hes not up to the job yet and he was only one on a shortlist anyway, so it's hardly big news.

I don’t even think we’ll have approached them. A new contractdrafted and agreed in less than a day seems unlikely and what better way to endear yourself to the fans more than saying another club was after you.

I think you'll find it was Robbins who's the billy big dick here and not the club.

Tim. He'd better get out before he becomes an institutionalised man though

My mistake, but we have already had it this season with the gobshite from Peterboro, and last season, that player who we tried to sign but went to Charlton, I dont think it was a goals bonus he got, I think it was a bonus every time he mentioned Sunderland

We should invite applications. Any manager who thinks its beneath them to apply isn't worth hiring.

They get some kind of hard on mentioning Sunderland.

Coventry revealed a new black and white third kit yesterday and one of the first replies to the tweet was “Will we be wearing it against Sunderland? They love black and white”
