wellsince75 Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Please don't rehire any previous 'Well manager. With Robinson we went almost 12 months looking completely lost, he ran out of ideas GA for almost a year we played poorly , lost our way, ran out of ideas. Someone with experience who knows what to do will be fab, wound's be against someone like Hammell/Faddy as the number 2 but some experience is needed. Saw a few comments about don't expect great flowing football , I don't expect Barca but I see different games at all levels and there's plenty of entertainment, excitement when teams are well organised and play together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 To quote "Mr Wonderful" on Shark Tank (the US version of Dragon's Den), the notion of rehiring Robinson as manager needs to be taken behind the barn and put out of its misery. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 What about Barry Ferguson with Bob Malcolm as his assistant? I’m sure they are free agents having previously worked together at Kelty Hearts. Not that I’d want it but it could happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny71 Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 No ex managers or players please ,i think Duncan Ferguson or Kevin Thomson would be a brave move my gut feeling it will be somebody like John Hughes or a Tommy Wright that will get the gig would i like either of those 2 ,probably not but were going to have get behind whoever lands the job.

bobbybingo Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 The Robinson stuff could very easily just be lazy reporting, but the fact it's not just one source, and they're claiming we'll make a move for him on Monday does make you wonder if there's more to it. As others said, it fits in with our old pals ethos, which I assume comes straight from Burrows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of appointing inexperienced first time managers but I would honestly rather see Hammell & Kerr get the job on a permanent basis than bring back a manager who had overstayed his welcome by over a year and eventually left when he realised this 18 months ago. Bringing Robinson back would be a terrible appointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bringing Robinson back would be a terrible appointment. I agree with that, it rarely works out brining the same person back. This may be disrespectful but the best value Robbo brought to us was as a number 2. In an ideal world we'd unearth the next Alex Neil - but we couldn't lure someone of that proven ability to us. I've no real issue with having Hammell and Kerr a few games. It's a bit of a punt but then so must Alex Neil have been for Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 The way reporting works these days, a journo reads a forum like this and writes a story (with no quotes or attributions) and then other outlets report on that story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Balls of Shire Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 5 hours ago, Coatsy said: What a great opportunity we have to get a quality manager in, in our league a good manager alone could get third with average players which we have in this league . We must be positive the board normally pull a left field option that's not quoted initially, Alexander did not work out long term but he did save us from what looked like certain relegation and got us into Europe so i wish him all the best. Hope we look at someone who can promote quick passing football not hoofball I know it will initially be unpopular but is Craig levein a shout? Helluva lot of experience, bit tarnished by the scotland job , but what manager has gone into that job and been loved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may be disrespectful but the best value Robbo brought to us was as a number 2. In fairness to him he was a breath of fresh air to us in 2017/18 after the absolute disaster that was Mark McGhee’s second spell. He was optimistic and positive about the club and instilled a battling quality in a limited squad which helped get us to two Cup Finals after two excellent Cup runs. After that though he ran out of ideas and only bringing Turnbull and Hastie into the side halfway through the following season took the heat off him when we were otherwise dismal. In truth it would have been better for both parties had he taken either the Hearts job in Nov 2019 or the NI job the following summer, because he had clearly gone as far as he could with us by then.

He has a house in Dunoon?, I think and your right that he absolutely loves Scotland, but at 72, he has spoken of spending time with his family. Would be a great old head to come in an help advice a younger manager though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Bringing Robinson back would be a ridiculous decision. The board have bought themselves some time getting rid of Alexander, but they would heap all that pressure straight back onto themselves with such a lazy decision. Weneed a fresh figure that can unite the support and get the best out of the players that we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything's possible, but he knows a large section of the support wanted Robinson out the last time, so this would be ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 Other than being friendly with people working at the club what has he done since he left us to redeem his final few months here? Going out and paying for a manger who is on the verge of being sacked by St Mirren a few days after being gubbed by Sligo would confirm us as the new Scottish football laughing stock. It's a non starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted July 30, 2022 Report Share Posted July 30, 2022 It was a diplomatic answer that for me hedged towards "it's total bollocks" more than anything, without throwing Robinson under the bus, which is the grown up professional thing to do. Not denying, just in case we hammer them tomorrow and Robbo is suddenly available and is the best option in front of us (we don't know who's applying).I really don't want it to be Robinson. I'll live with it if it happens and he'll get my full support and the like, but half the fun in supporting a team is new players and managers, even when they are shite. Gannon and Baraclough we're fucking terrible, but they spiced things up a bit at least, allowing us to appreciate the mediocre times.I dont understand why Kevin Thompson is getting any traction with anyone. Barry Ferguson did well with Kelty too, and he's an absolutely terrible manager, and a fud. He doesn't even have the allure of a big player, just another rangers rando that gets support from his media pals. Are there any other lower league managers that we'd look at?I'm all for Hammel and kerr unleashing their one day masterplan tomorrow and throwing the whole thing into turmoil.
