is probably getting a good deal of satisfaction from the fact that he lost out on the Notts job to Kevin Nolan. If you recall some 18 months ago it was between these two for the manager's job. He has turned his disappointment to a solid achievement and it looks like he has a team that can negotiate League 1 to finish in its upper reaches
Mr Hardy plumped for Nolan's enthusiasm and relative raw talent against the vastly experienced Robins. I think we would be churlish not to admit that at Cov Robins has built a young challenging team at relatively low cost and that this has proven a better strategy than the combination of old heads and rejuvenated first teamers that Nolan put together.
Did Hardy make the right decision? Is it just a matter of patience?
So nothing official then.
Coventry have got several talented young players who came through their academy. No doubt Nolan would build a good young team if he had the same.
The OP seems to be an unwarranted sly dig at Nolan after a great 18 months for him.
Not true. I actually read this from at least four sources. Maybe they were exaggerating but I'm pretty sure Robins was on the shortlist. Let's say I might be right. So what's your response to the comparison?
And no, it's not a dig at Nolan. I'm quite happy with him but there are lessons he can learn from Robins.
