Shows massive intent and even give the guy assurances of a free release if a bigger side comes in for him during his spell. The longer he is out the game the more realistic it is. Agreed. Give him what he wants for a season wages wise, if he gets us up then if he gets a better offer he can go. If you don't ask you don't get and it would at least show the board are showing a bit ambition rather than just talking about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peter LaFleur Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Just now, Ludo*1 said: Worth noting that Robinson left Motherwell because he felt he had taken them as far as he could and indicated he'd only like to stay in Scotland if one of the top teams wanted him ie, a side that can challenge for the top 4 every season. Obviously that's unrealistic on his part and his expectations will need to come down if he's thinking of managing in Scotland again but with all due respect, I don't think he's at League 1 level yet regardless of your intent. Yep, there’s not a hope in hell. I actually thought Dundee would have had a realistic chance of getting him when there was talk of unrest with McPake. Promotion will scupper that though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll know absolutely nowt about league one. We've failed miserably so far bringing in players who have played at a higher level. We need to change our strategy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on his expectations and what our actual hopes for the future are now for our American overlords. I see him going down South tbh. Still think he holds himself in a very high regard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 He'd have decent contacts, be able to bring in players that would have better ability and graft. He seems the type that wouldn't suffer fools gladly. Any manager with a bit of nouse would have at least got our shower of shite putting a shift in. M&M who were out their depth even had us top for a long spell and we were woefully bad. Robinson I think would have had this league won by Christmas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FFC 1876 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Robinson done a great job with Motherwell for a couple of seasons but his recruitment last summer had them absolutely shocking this season. Signing Jordan White in the premiership should be a jail sentence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 No wonder you lads are currently burning your club to ground if you're expecting Stephen Robinson as manager after finishing 5th in League One. Fucking hell. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they haven't recognised the glaring requirement for strong, proper, autonomous leadership after the "M and M" horror show, they're just wasting their time. We need a million times more than someone who can put on a coaching session, just grateful for the opportunity and happy to be subservient to whatever Holt wants. Not at all convinced that his presence and interference will prove especially helpful in securing the right person. This decision is make-or-break. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
