Now Jurgen Klopp is done at Liverpool, only Pep Guardiola at Man City has served a PL/EFL club longer. Simon Weaver at Harrogate Town has been there since 2007 (!) but Harrogate have spent most of that time in Non-League.
Around the same time Robins took over at Cov for his 2nd spell in charge, Newcastle and Brighton finished in the auto-promotion places for the Championship. đČ
Long may Lord Robins reign. Stability is a great thing for any football club.

I know this is consecutive time at a club, but Paul Cook at Chesterfield has been there for two separate stints for a while.
Seems that not having hair is a prerequisite for keeping your job as a football manager. Anyone else notice that all the managers sacked recently had hair?
Mark Robins with his vampire bonce should be okay and not fall victim to the baldies.
Probably sounds hyperbolic, but Robbins really is the most Fergie like of all of Fergieâs past players that have gone on to become managers. I get the impression that Robins is heavily involved and runs Coventry from the top all the way down.
Robins is a promotion away from a statue, hereâs to another 7 years
It’s interesting to note that most of the longest serving managers have been successful, in all cases they’ve been given time, and of course, varying degrees of ÂŁÂŁÂŁÂŁ as well.
Pep is well……Pep. Yes, backed with oil money. Yes, 115 charges etc, but you can’t fault the football his team plays.
Robins – Only now under new owners has he been given more then 2p to spend. Without him we would be in National League South, or worse, without a club to support.
Thomas Frank has done brilliantly at Brentford, were never in relegation danger this season without their top striker.
Mikel Arteta would be celebrating a title today if Man City weren’t so good.
Ian Evatt…….ok, he had a bad weekend.
Nigel Clough just got Mansfield Town promoted to L1.
Further down the list you got Kieran McKenna, who in the space of 2 years and 155 days, has taken Ipswich from L1 to PL. đČ
I think I counted on 16 managers surviving over 2 years (will probably increase before next season starts).
Kind of mad that Guardiola & Robbins are in this 8th years, meanwhile Weaver is just casually doing his 15th
Glad I’m not the only one who looks at this. Only five managers in a job for over four years, over 60% of managers in jobs less than one. Feels unsustainable.
Robins came in when Cov were on a seemingly permanent decline. Without him we would be playing in the National league South and ground sharing with Nuneaton Borough or Solihull Moors.
We will talk about about Mark the same way my Granddad talks to me about Jimmy Hill.
Iâm very much part of the Anti manager merry go round brigade, I hate how managers or really any part of the team aside from colours location and name change so often.
Itâs why I got so attached to Atletico Madrid as a team I look out for, 13 years with Simeone which you just donât see anymore, especially at the top level without constantly success!
Give Röhl a ten year contract tomorrow and let him build our club
