For those who think Robinson is not at “the level we should be aiming for” - I honestly don’t get the hype some on here have for ex-Hearts players cause none of them are at “the level we should be aiming for” imo. neither is Robinson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, pundits in Scotland haven't a scoobie and spout out the first name that comes into their mouth. I haven't a clue but would hope the Board are looking at better candidates than the likes of: Hartley, McKinnon, Cameron, Murray, McNamara, Pressley and McCann. In retrospect, Gerrard was an excellent appointment by Sevco. Gerrard was a gamble and an expensive one that has worked out so far. We don't have the funds for that level of contract.

Bozi Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 On Robinson I have split opinions- His default mode was industrial football, I kept hearing how good a team Motherwell were but when they rock up to Tynecastle they were physical,direct and one dimensional. I wasnt impressed with them,they lacked creativity and ideas. What has happened recently however is he has had to resort to bringing through kids, instead of forcing them to play his game,his way,he had adapted to the players available (something Levein was not capable of) as a result they are playing much better and have got some exciting young players into the team. Would he revert to type or would he be good for the youngsters and play a brand of football that entertains us fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Correct Bozi, absolute myth that’s he is some dynamic football coach is a an absolute joke.. he’s the absolute opposite of that and would be a huge mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I asked an Oldham supporting friend of mine for his opinion on Robinson's brief spell there (33 games - won 7, drawn 11, lost 15). Here's his take, FWIW: "Robinson wasn’t popular, but he was manager at a time when no-one was popular because they were not Paul Scholes. Then we got Paul Scholes for a month, and now he is not popular either. Nowadays the forums focus their illiterate disenchantment towards the owners more than the coaching staff, who are seen as hapless pawns. Robinson wasn’t all that bad, and his son, a winger, is on our books although out on loan somewhere to make space for obscure Frenchmen, and he wasn’t bad either. Could do worse, is what I’d say."

Board member quoted last night saying they will take next week to review applications and schedule interviews for week after St.Mirren game hoping to have someone in post by Killie game. As for your second point, no real track record of success, nothing to suggest he would take us higher, currently manages one of only two SPFL teams we have beaten this season, yet to make top 6 in current role. Need I say more, be a bit more expansive and ambitious Enzo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
