Robins: City Supporters Deserve The Best

Last updated : 28 May 2018 By CNS Sport

Coventry City manager Mark Robins has said that City supporters deserve the best after guiding the Sky Blues back in to League One.

Robins told the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner: “I don’t want to touch on what’s happened in the past. It happened, there’s no getting away from that, but rather than go back to those days we look forward to what we can do moving forward.

“We’re playing at the Ricoh and hopefully we can have a good relationship with people, building bridges where needed, because the connection between players and supporters is massive and fundamental to building anything.

“I don’t know what the future holds but there’s a feel good factor there.

“The supporters were unbelievable. – the expectation comes from and for them because they back the team. Since I’ve come back they’ve backed me and the players and for me the reconnection between the players and the supporters is everything.

“You could see that today because they were so behind the players. They have been all season – the support home and away has been phenomenal. You want to entertain them, of course you do, but you want to try to win for them and thankfully we can say that today.

“You try to kid the players that it’s only another game but of course it’s not – it’s a big, big, big game and you need a big-game mentality. Young players who started to struggle a little bit found their feet and that was really pleasing today.

“The players deserve all the credit because they’re the ones who go out and get the results -– a brilliant Cup run capped with promotion.

“Can we get a little bit of help? Can we recruit as well as we did last season and do it again? Coventry City supporters deserve the best in my opinion and we’ve got to try to deliver as close to that as we can.

"I said when I came in that it’s not about me and it really isn’t. It’s about the players, and it’s about the supporters and it’s about reuniting a club that was desperately in need of it – galvanising them.

"I’m delighted for everybody connected with the club. It finishes on a real positive for everybody and I think that’s where we can run with it."
