Highlandmagar Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Why would Robinson want to come back to Scottish football? The Scottish Premiership, outside of the two scumbags, is no better than League One. -13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would anyone be happy if they found out that someone doing the same job as they are doing now was getting paid more five years ago than they are currently?. Unless we are talking a SAF that had been there for about a decade or something, and that never applies to any Scottish clubs these days. No doubt in my mind, Jim was probably offered improved terms to stay, though his mind was already made up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I mean I guess some Motherwell fans looked at Robinson going to Morecambe and thought, "League One from upper reaches of the Scottish Premiership? That's a step down. It's only because of the money". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Happy enough with this given the situation we found ourselves in. No guarantee of success with any manager, but he's done fine with Motherwell before and is less of a risk than some others. Doubt we'll lose him to someone else ala Goodwin but as long as he can deliver a few decent finishes it will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great business by the club, we've got in an experienced and proven manager with minimum fuss and about 72 hours after the last one left. Looks like he cost us about £150,000 grand less than we got for Goodwin too, so more money for the squad in the summer. These days, you can never tell if anything is photoshopped.. ..I almost didn't bother checking this until I noticed it was the official twitter! Welcome aboard Mr Robinson.

Archie McSquackle Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I suspect that St. Mirren will do neither.I don't think anyone needs to be particularly great this year to finish 4th and qualify for Europe. While I hope it's Motherwell, St. Mirren must be thinking they'll never get a better chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 As long as you don't go to sell your entire squad (or let them go out of contract) each summer then he should be a great fit. That's what killed his motherwell career and almost got us stuck in a relegation battle. We have learned from this and have offered longer term contracts as well as reducing the amount of duds being Brought in on "a chance" they are any good. Still keep your expectations in check. He isn't suddenly going to win the league or guarante European football. Also he might sign his son again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'm uneasy with this signing in the sense that I'm fairly ciontent with it. I had a horrible feeling since Friday that we were going to panic and end up shitting the bed by appointiong some rookie OF arsehole. This seems like a good, solid, appointment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got a great squad and are going into the final third of the season in a strong position. We absolutely may never get a better chance to finish fourth. Robinson doesn't even need to change much - just maybe some tweaks around the edges, and keep us on course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very best of luck tobyou and Robinson. He was impressive at Motherwell. Maybe he just wasn't comfortable fighting a relegation battle in League 1. After all look where le left Motherwell when he walked. Edited February 22, 2022 by Highlandmagyar Tier 3 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I'd be delighted to get him at United and as mentioned above good that the St Mirren manager post isn't some kind of modern apprenticeship scheme for some OF bam to try his hand at management. Jealous. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was charged, went to court but was found not guilty. However, you are right, the fact it went to court, together with the bullying stuff (if true) paints a picture of someone who isn't very nice. Surprised the kibble are happy with all of this. Unfortunately with these sort of incidents mud sticks. He was found not guilty regarding his partner (she's 18 years younger than he is, that raised my eyebrows, tbh), so that should be the end of that, but we all know (alleged) domestic abuse cases are very murky waters. The thing about bullying young players is also a concern, but it could depend on how you define bullying. I'm afraid these things are going to be thrown up constantly. although they don't appear to have been (much?) of a concern at Morecambe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
