Magister Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Is it a record? In tonight's Chron Robinson is quoted as saying " when I come to leave I want......" Is he the first manager ever to talk about leaving before his new team has even kicked a competitive ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he the first manager ever to talk about leaving before his new team has even kicked a competitive ball. Oppositely, many wanted Darren Kelly to leave before a ball had been kicked.

Lee Sinnott Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Nope. Lots of managers, in their first few days/weeks, mention that they want to leave the club in a better state than it was in when they took over. Next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Indicative of the world we live in today.... Which is why I'm no longer going to sing (Insert Manager's name)'s Blue & White Army any longer..... We should sing Latics' fans Blue & White Army instead.... Because tis only us who persist. Gone are the days of Frizzell, Royle et al.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostofcecere Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Wasn't the average life span of a manager about 14 months? He'll be gone one way or another by around then, it's just modern football. No board, manager or player has any loyalty, only the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
