‘Sickened’ – Coventry fans react to Robins sacking

Date:

The Championship’s longest-serving manager was sacked this morning after more than seven-and-a-half years in charge during which Mark Robins led Coventry from League Two to the Championship, and within a penalty shootout of the Premier League and an FA Cup final.

Sky Blues fans have been reacting the news and you can share your thoughts as well.

Here are just some of the messages from Coventry supporters:

Troyston – This is absolutely horrendous. Robins deserves a statue for what he has done for this club. For about 15 years, this club slowly descended down the leagues all the way to League Two. He has transformed this club despite all the off-field nonsense. I’m sickened. I can’t believe my club has shown such disrespect to him. To say I’m in shock is understatement of the century.

Gafferuk – From no ground, didn’t own a player in the team at one point, nearly out of existence, a penalty away from the Premier League and a dodgy decision against Man Utd for a place in the FA Cup final to sacking him is a ridiculous decision. Coventry City FC what have you done?

Chris – Absolutely devastated. What a man he has been for the football club. It just doesn’t make sense. Mark thank you for everything you have done, us fans hold you in higher regard than our apparent owner. Gutted.

Mike – Mark ‘The Phoenix’ Robins brought us back from the ashes and embodied everything our club is about. He deserved so much better than this for his loyalty and success over the last 7 years. A truly awful decision. He had earned the right to leave on his own terms, whenever he wanted.

JT13 – As a rival fan of a Championship team I was concerned Coventry would be surging up the table again and that a play-off place would be taken up by them once again but now much happier after this announcement. Says it all really!
