Karl Robinson approached by Albion

[Codner's Wallop]

Apparently we've asked permission from MK Dons to speak to Robinson about the manager's job.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Sounds a good move, reckon he'd keep us up if we back him with transfers in January.

 

[BBassic]

He's done very well at MK Dons. Is he the right guy to come in and save a beleaguered team from relegation though?

 

[*Gullsworth*]

yes please

 

[Codner's Wallop]

The source is Three Counties Radio, so seems authentic. Would also suggest we're quite serious about his chances of taking over.

 

[Albion Dan]

That would be a shocker! He's never even managed to get MK Dongs in the play offs in Div 1 has he?

 

[spanish flair]

yes please

Why. What has he done to make you convinced he would be a good Championship manager?

 

[jasetheace]

Feels like the cheap, compliant 'Do as your told and work with Burke' option.

He finished fifth in his first two seasons and lost in the playoffs both times. Since then it has been 8th and 10th place finishes, although this season they're currently second in the table (a point behind with a game in hand)

i hope this is some sort of joke we need someone with expeirence of the championship and hes not that man

 

[blockhseagull]

Plays a good brand of football, but would argue he isn't exactly ripping up trees in a division below.

Would have probably been a fair appointment in the summer with rebuilding and him able to shape a side over a few seasons, is he the type of manager who can come in and change things quickly and save us though ?

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

This is a BRILLIANT move but it won't happen. My sister says there is no way on earth he is leaving MK Dons soon.

 

[Nathan]

He hasn't done that well at MK Dons. They have one of the higher budgets for the league and he has been unable to get them out of League one.

If he is our target I think we are planning for next season already, he certainly has plenty of experience in that division.

 

[trueblue]

I'd far rather have someone with Championship experience in the current situation. Failing that, he'd probably be the next best option. Just worries me that he's not actually achieved anything....

 

[GreersElbow]

He's smashing league 1 with MK dons, promotion from league 1 sounds better on the CV than leaving a high flying club for a club languishing at the bottom of a league just above them.

I wouldn't be too happy with this appointment just on the fact he's not done a job with MK dons yet is one reason enough.

All of this for me ... I'm not exactly anti, but very definitely 'meh' and hope we can do better

 

[grummitts gloves]

Does he play 2 up front?

 

[Driver8]

If we are looking at successful league 1 managers surely Rosler is a better bet.

 

[HantsSeagull]

god i hope not
