🎙️​ Mark Robins' first interview as Stoke City Manager ❤️​

[@mattsb449]

An honest hardworking manager and a Coventry legend, best of luck at Stoke Mark

[@Tylerthe-u4f]

Hi matt

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Wish they asked him about Adi Viveash...

[@leedelmont4Yeshua]

Yup :).

[@psf8428]

Leeds fan here, Stoke are one of the realist clubs in this country, what a first class appointment 💙🤍💛

[@TimComley]

Good luck Leeds hope you go up this time around

[@stephenwilson9480]

Nobody cares your a Leeds fan.

[@andywhalley3669]

🤝🏻

[@barrybullsh1tter246]

Realist what does that even mean.

[@michaelwallden7261]

U are spot on!

[@samcoles1696]

Hearing him talk as the manager of another club breaks me. He’s a top manager

[@jamiemcclellan954]

I can’t lie that’s one of the best interviews I think I’ve ever heard. Wise man indeed COYP

[@DaveStevens-qw1xq]

Cov fan. You've done well there guys. Good luck. Gutted for us obviously but none of us can control football or wot goes on behind the scenes. Over the moon for Stoke.

[@omarks]

Looking forward to Mark's future autobiography to see what on earth happened at Coventry City in the period following the Manchester United FA cup final until Robins leaving. Best of luck Stoke, he's a great manager.

[@fin1131]

@@omarks Easy answer Doug King happened, downhill since then.

[@roywakeford8448]

So excited by this appointment. It’s been a rotten 7/8 years to be a Stoke supporter. I genuinely think this could be the start of something good.

[@mattws5784]

@@KidCharlemagne-n2r I read your previous comment but you’re very outnumbered in terms of appreciation of this man from fellow Coventry fans so I’m gonna assume it’s Coventry’s loss and our gain.

[@archer2733]

Cov fan, great appointment, wish Mark and the club all the best for the future

[@fordy362]

As a coventry fan wishing all the best for robins and hope he does well with you guys to prove he can do it with other clubs.. Apart from when you play us

[@leedelmont4Yeshua]

Amen...

[@flyoverfredusa]

Claret here, you were really good yesterday (we were shocking) and it's clear Robins will have a lot to work with. Good luck to him, always comes across really well.

[@chrismoffitt9369]

Cov fan here!! I love this bloke. Absolutely first class and wish Stoke all the best. I can’t for the life of me figure out what we were thinking letting him go. Good luck Mark 👏

[@James-jo1ji]

Great interview and great comments from Coventry fans 👏

[@ryanevans126]

Cov fan here good luck Mark u gave me my best memories as a cov fan I think he do well for urs u have to give him time tho to get the players he needs I hope it works out for him hes a cov legend

[@leedelmont4Yeshua]

Here here :)

[@Razmitaaz]

Give this man time, he could re-ignite a recent premier league pulse again. Will be held in high regard in Coventry for many decades to come.

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

From a Chelsea fan Stoke congratulations you've got one of the best managers in the EFL

[@SamCovington-fh7ek]

What's so funny

[@Spit87]

Most "Stoke" manager we've had in a long time. Feels like a good fit. Pelach was an absolute clown 😂

[@fin1131]

No qualms about his move to another Championship club, with the way our owner treated a club legend, no doubt Stoke are the winners here, great move for him/them, he will bring success and the good times back to Stoke City FC, good luck MARK, expect a great reception from the Sky blue army at the CBS, PUSB.

[@NeilPrice-zy2tm]

A huge welcome to Mark Robins, admired what he did at Coventry i hope he can do the same at the Bet365 Staduim.

[@Tonyioswfc]

Good luck Mark top man, and definitely a boost for stoke

[@brynwharton9516]

Great appointment at last there's nowhere for anyone to hide. Proven championship manager, if things go wrong from here we will finally find out if it's the players, back room staff or the owners who are under performing. Game on ,come on you mighty Potters

[@MathewParker-by4nx]

From the off Robins taking an indirect swipe at that knob who sacked him at Cov. Hope it works well for him at the Potteries, he’s a decent manager.

[@Mark-s3l9v]

Sunderland fan. Really like Mr Robins , class manager!

[@samcurry7477]

Cov fan here. Good luck Mark at Stoke, thank you for everything you did at Coventry. Marks a legend!

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Unfortunate that Mark could not finish the journey at Cov but Stoke have a golden egg here

[@theinquisitor5518]

I love MR as a Cov fan. He worked best with Adi Viveash but we will see how he does under a different owner. Good luck Mark.

[@user-ht4ho5vn4c]

Best of luck Mark from a Cov fan

[@petercross8871]

Mark has come in as Manager..... please give him the chance to manage the team...

[@Stokie23]

Brilliant. Good luck Mark !

[@stevecrowe8135]

Sky blue fan here, congratulations Mark, best of luck

[@timdoherty8152]

Very impressive. Not felt this positive in a long time!

[@calvinliu6304]

Welcome mark to stoke city

[@mr.maskmaker6609]

good luck mark,you have got a good one here stoke fans,from a cov fan, pusb

[@rebeccataylor7756]

Love everything that he’s said, especially that ‘there’s definitely work to do’ and ‘it’s a project no doubt’. I think that he is going to be the closest thing to TP that we’ve had since. Keep both Johns in their own lane, and let this man do things his way, and I think we’ll have some long-term enjoyment back. And I think the players are going to love playing for him!! UTP 🔴⚪️

[@Skyblues8419]

you have a good manager .give him time , from a Coventry fan

[@stevearcade]

Cov fan here. Really pleased for Robins to have landed on his feet with a managerial position that he can really do something great with. Stoke are very lucky to have him, and I hope he can bring the same sort of progress and positivity to Stoke that we at Cov enjoyed during his 8 year tenure. He took our beleaguered club from the fourth tier to a penalty away from the Prem, and completely rebuilt the vibe and mentality behind the scenes, and the club's relationship with the fans. Stoke are in a much stronger position than Cov were when he came to us, so hopefully he can elevate you guys beyond where he was able to with Cov. Best of luck to you all. 👍🏼

[@neilthorley359]

Welcome Mark hope this works out for my beloved club seen managers come and go alot recently where you get where you are losing faith in the club we've had more downs than up as a club let's just hope this is the real deal garn stoke 🙏 we'll be with you every step along the way ❤❤

[@DavidBeecraft]

Mark Robins is a legend for everything he did for our club. I’m still disgusted by what happened. There should be a statue of this man outside the CBS arena. Best of luck for everything at Stoke Mark. Many of us will be following you and wishing you nothing but the best

[@Tylerthe-u4f]

Good luck to you mark here at stoke, hopefully get the win Saturday, gets some hiid signings and also aim for olayoffs 👍👍

[@Jagabomb]

Cov fan, Stoke are blessed to have a man like Mark at the helm, still hurts he’s not with us. I’ll be hoping he can do a great job with you guys, will be following Stoke closely. Come on Stoke !

[@ramwinter2622]

As a Derby fan I really wanted him as our manager until now but unfortunately blind faith from some of our supporters towards Paul Warne prevailed. You’ve been in a mess yourselves for 9 years and there is no better manager to make Stoke City a force to be reckoned with once again than Mark Robins.

[@nickcam21]

You can give us millers Paul Warne back if you want 😅

[@ramwinter2622]

⁠@@nickcam21 Have him. 😂

[@garethprigg1448]

Welcome, Mark . As one other comment states , please let him manage the team. As he has achieved plenty with hardly any resources at previous clubs in the past.

[@YTDZ77]

Cov fan here, and I knew he'd get another job swiftly. Great appointment for Stoke, and I hope (and I'm sure he will) do a really good job for you. Mark will always be a legend.

[@brianlawson6006]

Top manager, You're fortunate to get him, Good Luck from a Sunderland fan

[@nathanaeljnp9735]

All the best Mark. One of the best

[@philiphost3349]

Cov fan here and i can only say stoke have got a great man,Robins is a hero at coventry, top man and he knows how to change a game, so dissapointed he was sacked at cov, i personally wish him well at his new club, obviously not when you play us, but good luck mr Robins and stoke city

[@jamkindness]

The love from Cov fans in the comments is super refreshing in today's football world! GL for this season 👌

[@philiphost3349]

Stoke fans you are gona love Mark Robins,,,,,,,, an upset cov fan watching this interview, best of luck Mark Robins legend

[@jpcskeff]

Cov fan here.. fantastic appointment by Stoke City. Good luck to Mark Robins and the club.. That interview just shows what the man is really all about.. He will always receive a hero’s welcome from us👍🩵

Great first interview

Come on lads let's do this 💪💪

[@adambartlett6277]

What a fantastic appointment!!

[@JamieJepson-n1v]

my best pal a miller saw some games with him when they had a -17 deduction got 10th, knew from then a good manager - good luck Stoke

[@swblade6190]

Robins is a class football league manager. My opinion is that WBA would have been a better fit for both parties. However, it's time the long suffering Stoke fans saw some reprieve as since 2018 they've had a terrible time of it 👍

[@Steven-t6r]

A win on Saturday hopefully 🙏

[@nathanfoxe8028]

So excited under Mark coyp 🔴⚪❤

[@lewisfrewin8756]

Our loss really is your gain, a once in a generation manager. He saved CCFC, gave us some incredible football and all hope and belief again About no one at Coventry aside from the owner himself thought getting rid of him was a good idea and we will rue this decision i think But regardless, Mark what a legend, thank you for what you did for us and all the best at Stoke

[@lindasnape9081]

Welcome and Good Luck!

[@riteandleft]

Fantastic interview.

[@AlanPlant-n3c]

This is a manager who will get us where we want to be given time. Let him do his job and give us something to get the bet365 rocking good luck mark robins top man.

[@TravellingTW]

Really good guy, wish him all the best

[@SkyBlueArmy-zd3qi]

Good luck still missing ya at cov :(

[@StokieSeth]

Let him manage the team He is a proven championship manager . If it doesn’t work here we will know what’s wrong with stoke The owners? The backroom staff? The players?

[@pottermusLAG]

Welcome to stoke Mark good 🤞

[@robertmason6366]

Good Luck Mark....legend

[@nathanhaldane7455]

I’m really behind this appointment was sad to see what happened to Schumacher tried to get behind narcis and new immediately it was the wrong choice but what a manager this guy is top class bloke come on stoke

[@MarkCusworth-i9m]

Wow top appointment

[@TimComley]

Good luck mark

[@ianbarlow9246]

Things are look bright for stoke.

[@offaofmercia3329]

Cov fan here and wish MR all the very best. When I think of Mark I will aleays automatically think "Wembley trips". Need there be a better recommendation for him than that!

[@LordFlashheart.11]

Message to Coates and Walters....LEAVE HIM ALONE AND LET HIM DO HIS JOB!!! GOOD LUCK MARK AND WELCOME 👍🏻👍🏻

[@grahambyrne7868]

Tough game coming up Plymouth 😊 💚💚💚

[@Cj-simpo]

Damn we gonna lose to plymouth😂

[@mechaishida7588]

As a Coventry City fan, I would wish you the best of luck, because although the majority of us hold Mark Robins in extremely high regard, the success he got credit for was due to the coaching partnership of Adi Viveash and Dennis Lawrence. Long story short, I hope there is a decent assistant or coach to assist Robins, or he may struggle. He got found out pretty quick this season, without Viveash and his tactical ability. All the best, and this is just a heads up, guys. 👍🏻

[@kylewale5998]

There’s only one Mark robins ❤ best of luck , play up sky blues

[@atakodaz]

Welcome mark!!❤️🤍

[@Niblonian88]

Doug Kings mistake is Covs loss and Stokes gain. He gave us some of our best ever days at Coventry - Kinda hurts that he's at another club but the very best of luck to Mark.

What a brilliant manager, please give him time and don’t sack him after a few months if he doesn’t win every game

Here we go again guys 😂

GIVE HIM TIME up the potters 💪

here we go 🔴⚪

welcome to Stoke City Mark Robins

[@Marc-xc9uo]

Let’s just back this manager and stick with him. 3 managers already this season and it’s only January.

[@TheRagingTornado]

well, 2 head coaches and a manager, to be pedantic, but I completely agree with you.

[@Marc-xc9uo]

@TheRagingTornado Haha, yes you are right to be fair. I have a good feeling about this appointment.

[@TheRagingTornado]

@Marc-xc9uo me too pal, Robins is a top manager especially considering some of the battles off the pitch he has faced at other clubs, which will only help make this job a bit easier for him.

[@housestomping]

Hope he does well for is... comes accross as a top bloke

[@ChrisJones-wv4lj]

Give him time !

[@lionelmessi3000]

Your going up

[@jameswilkinson8105]

Mark robins barmy army

[@glynjones5588]

OK now we've got a real appointment let's get right behind him and the lads and we'll done Mr Coates

[@Doggomorph]

Here we go steven back at Plymouth

[@wayne_ghost]

I miss Mark 😔 🩵

[@robertmason6366]

Stoke need stability and they will get it with this man. This was a coup as I thought he would be looking at lower level EPL clubs.

[@theeuropeancyclepaths8206]

Good luck

[@davidandrews8963]

Nice easy start Plymouth at home Good luck Robbo 💥⚽🥅🏐♥️🙊🙉🙈

[@MostlyLoveOfMusic]

Wish they asked him about Adi Viveash...

[@finplayz6614]

Great to see mark back but just don’t seem right not at cov

[@marshallluddite]

bless him, still hates stu[id questions from reporters and media, watch out bbc stoke....

[@thomasdraca6866]

Sounds like a good bloke..my dad lives in Australia and has supported stoke for more than 50 years...he reckons this guy will do the job...good luck from George draca..

[@grahambyrne7868]

Why did Coventry get rid 😮

[@robertmason6366]

Because Mullet head King thinks he knows football.

[@simonmullock2551]

Win lose or draw, we need to STICK together
