I’ll be honest’ – Michael Rose reveals thoughts when his old boss took Stoke City job
Michael Rose worked with Mark Robins at Coventry City and has faith that his new, old manager can get the better of another challenge at Stoke City

Before leaving for Stoke 18 months ago, Rose helped Coventry get promoted to the Championship and establish themselves as the team’s backup in this league after Robins bought him. Rose has been given another opportunity at center-back since they were reunited at Clayton Wood this year, and he has helped the team get four points in the last two games.
“He’s simply very experienced,” Rose remarked. He has a thorough understanding of this level. He accomplished amazing things at Coventry, where I was also there and we, I believe, had a good time. He’s a great fit for the club, in my opinion, both where it is and where it aspires to be.
If given the chance, he is the ideal candidate to advance it because he has experience with challenging circumstances. “We had that at Coventry, which was a difficult club at the time, but he moved it in the right direction. It’s a good fit and hopefully he can do the same thing here,” the statement reads.
