Mark Robins emphasized his desire to manage in the Premier League, stating, 'I really would like to manage in the Premier League before I retire. I turned 55 at Christmas, so, I'm really hungry.' His ambition is clear as he steps into the role of Stoke City manager, aiming not only to rescue the club from relegation but also to guide them back to top-tier football.
Highlighting his fit with the club, he mentioned, 'When this opportunity came up, once I met [club owner] John Coates and [sporting director] Jon Walters, it just confirmed what I thought and what my feelings were. They are die-hard Stoke City supporters, and the Stoke supporters - I'm really looking forward to working for them.'
Robins noted the uniqueness of each club, saying, 'Each club's unique. What you can't do is [say], 'I did this there,' and, 'I'm going to repeat that there,' because they're two totally different cities, different clubs, different environments, different stages of development - it is in that sense totally different.' This perspective underscores his intention to tailor his approach to Stoke City.
