wellowell Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 That's why I think he will be made manager till end of season but don't think he will be after that .Just feel he has other things in pipeline next season and makes sense to keep till end of season while looking for long term replacement who can rebuild for next season .

I'm aware of that but are we really gonna go with the same old oh we need a safe pair of hands and does Robinsons managerial career match up to what we need at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted March 13, 2017 Report Share Posted March 13, 2017 Oldham were reportedly dire to watch during Robinson's stint with an obsession to play for 0-0 draws, which fits with the NI profile. While we need a manager that can sort out our defensive side of the game, there needs to a balance in order to keep the players and fans engaged. I like Robinson, he seems a very good coach that can organise a team but given his record at Oldham, regardless of circumstances, he shouldn't be in contention for the Motherwell job on a permanent basis.

gdalli10 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 It will be a bit underwhelming if he is indeed appointed by the corn on the cob. However, best of luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well, we just need to get on with it, and get behind the new manager. He must have impressed at his interview with his vision for the future of the club, or was he the cheap option?

superward Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 As some others have said it's a difficult job to find a manager in March who can both satisfy the requirement to firm us up defensively and keep us up. Then also be the man we want for the future build of the team. There will be more managers available, or prepared to leave clubs at the end of the season in May. So, for me, if no 100% ideal candidate I would prefer we go with Robinson until season end then move fairly quickly to appoint a long term manager. Unless, for example, there is an outstanding candidate ready to come in and do a 3 month shift for us. If we do go with Robinson full perm manager I would be surprised as he is inexperienced and basically unproven. If he keeps us up however I wouldn't be surprised to see him given the gig.

Lobey_Dosser Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 If Robinson comes out as top candidate it suggests to me that the opportunity to manage Motherwell has never been less attractive in my time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welldaft Mk1 Posted March 14, 2017 Report Share Posted March 14, 2017 Something does not quite add up Mitch says it will be Robinson until the summer and if I was a betting man I would go with this. But I usually lose when I bet ! But was his post before 9am yesterday morning and yet Simo appears to have had his interview yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
