Stoke City is serious about stopping its long-term slide, they have to make one option.
Mark Robins has been with Stoke City since New Year’s Day,
when his hiring as a traditional football manager with extensive experience
building teams from the bottom up was widely hailed as a good move for the club.
However, being the third incumbent this season suggests that Robins is not with a
club likely to give him the much-needed breathing space that struggling football managers rarely have.
Since Stoke’s Premier League relegation in 2018, the good, the bad, and the indifferent have come before him, indicating that the bosses or head coaches haven’t always been the issue. Nor has there been a lot of money spent, much of it wasted.

So where does this leave Robins ahead of two critical games – at home to play-off chasing Watford on Saturday and then a trip to Coventry City a week later?
Despite defeating Swansea, Stoke has already lost to Norwich and Middlesbrough to pile up.
