Karl Robinson approached by Albion

[Brighton Mod]

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

My thoughts exactly, whats on his cv?

 

[TSB]

My thoughts exactly, whats on his cv?

Never been relegated*



Or promoted. Or won anything whatsoever. Never managed in the Championship. Refers to himself as a "genius". Widely thought of as a complete muppet.

Same as Garcia, Poye and Hyppia, must be on to a winner.

Quite looking forward to having someone with a bit of character and the potential of the odd touch line ban. The last two ? Dear God on the personality front.

Willing to be proved wrong but I'd like something completely different.

More than happy with Sherwood too.

At least two technical area bust ups a season else I won't be happy.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I had not considered him, and chuckled when I first heard he news, but having read a little about K R , I am starting to like the idea.

He has achieved success at his level, seems an intelligent up-and-coming manager. His win rate is better than Hughtons but a little less than Sherwood. NB Sherwood has only managed Tottenham. It a world away from the bottom of our division so he is inexperienced too.
Yes I am warming to Karl. Although if we like him , why was he not interviewed last Summer?

 

[Westdene Wonder]

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

A good move, Dons play attractive football,if we can dispose of our dead wood and make some fresh signings in the summer then Robinson could be worth a try

 

[Husty]

Whats that then?
1 goal a game
No attacking midfielders
Sideways passing
This obsession with our style is getting ridiculous as for one we struggle to score goals on a regular basis...Time to change if we're to progress.

Well said, it's been a problem for some time that our 'style' is wholly ineffective.

Pooh poohed by the betting expert on Radio Sussex this morning.

Tweets coming through that we are in advanced talks in the last half an hour.

 

[Mulderbauer]

May have ben mentioned earlier but Richie barker is part I his set up and a good reason why they have kicked on this year. Richie does the coaching and day to day with players which frees Karl up to manage various aspects of the club. Still a risk though id go with pulis...if available every day of the week. We need to get out of trouble first and foremost.

 

[Mackenzie]

If Robinson does get the job, do Milton Keynes have any players that we would be interested in? They must have a couple of decent lads given their results this year. Would The Bear come with him?

 

[Eeyore]

All originating from one unreliable account.

Befair have suspended betting on our new manager!

The mickey mouse outfit that is Betfair Sportsbook has been suspended (probably someone has had 50p on so they've shat themselves).
The Betfair exchange is still up and running where you can still back Robinson at 4/1 if you wish.

I recall that is not unusual overnight.

 

[Don Tmatter]

It did make me wonder when I read that TB was coming back over that were things quite advanced in regard to Hyppia's replacement, couldn't see him coming over unless he was interviewing candidates.

 

[Safeway]

Whoever our first choice is, we'll balls it up. It's what we do.

I expect he'll want to conclude this before Christmas, I'm assuming his wife and son are still in Australia.

 

[symyjym]

If we did want him we would have to pay some compensation to MK. Does anyone know what his contract length is currently?

He'll want it done and dusted in time to get back for the Aussie Millions - not sure they'll be to bothered about Christmas for obvious reasons.
