Next manager rumours (Karl Robinson interviewed pg.22)

Yeah I felt Slade got a very easy ride for his chippiness in regard to the fans. Having a go at 300-odd who turned up away to Port Vale on a Tuesday night was ridiculous. CharltonLive played back that and his "see how we were patient" comment to Louis on their show last week and it reminded me just how bad, how cringe worthy, it was.Athletico Charlton said:Good luck to him, I will give him the benefit of the doubt....unless in his unveiling he does a "Slade" and gushes on about Meire and the owner. If he chooses to do that and start life basically against the fans which Slade did then f*ck him.

I don't seem to dislike Robinson as much as many others on here, but you have to question anyone who's willing to take this job on.
I imagine we will play better football under Robinson, but that there'll be a greater focus on playing younger players to maximise sale value.
Just a hunch but I reckon Robinson will be more accepting of the board's vision of our role in football as something of a feeder club to the Premier League. It works for his reputation as a manager who brings kids on, and it works for Roland and KM.1 -
Well pleased tbh. Not that long ago he was being hugely praised as a bright English manager and mentioned for a few higher profile jobs. I've always quite liked his interviews and the way MK Dons have played in the past, don't really understand why some people really seem to dislike him?
Good luck Karl (you are certainly going to need it!!!)7 -
As a side challenging for promotion from the championship, you can maybe get players up to premiership standard and get some decent money for them.
As a side thinking about either relegation from league 1 or maybe a playoff push, you aren't going to get as much.1 -
Whereas good old Russ had a gut under his belt!ricky_otto said:
He's got a promotion under his belt. So already an improvement.SDAddick said:Very much meh on Robinson as he always comes across as incredible chippy. But his track record is FAR better than Slade's. I can only hope he's more coach than manager (which I believe he is)--i.e. working on the training ground with the team rather than overseeing things.
On the face of it, I think sacking Slade was a very good decision given his replacement.3 -
Can't stand the bloke so when Roland sacks him in march I'll probably be pretty pleased which makes this is the long run, a good decision.7

Robinson must see potential in the squad and been told he can add to it. But the only reason to take the job is if you think he will sell up.1
-
I'm in the odd position of not wanting any manager that's willing to work for this shower of shit.
Always thought he was a bellend too.5 -
Still not fussed tbh1

Keep seeing people say 'can't stand him' but no one can say why. Odd.0

Quite pleased with this. Robinson is probably the best manager that we can attract at the moment. He plays decent football and must have asked for some assurances on the playing budget. Just hope he gets it in writing.12
-
Probably one of the best at this level who is out of work.
He does have a touch of the Pardew about him but I'm pretty happy....well, as happy as you can be when it's futile until the owner sells up.0 -
From now on, I'm calling him Hilary Clinton.Greenie Junior said:Keep seeing people say 'can't stand him' but no one can say why. Odd.

To his credit Slade brought Konsa in to the side and left him there (admittedly when we had a lot of injuries at CB). But apart from brief cameos from Hanlan he didn't show any interest in our youth players. RCC and Aribo, going on what those who regularly watch the youth team say, are ready for that step up (RCC looked decent in cameos last year). I think Slade's inability to look at midfielders with some athleticism and drive is part of the reason he's no longer manager.tricky said:I don't seem to dislike Robinson as much as many others on here, but you have to question anyone who's willing to take this job on.

For me, if Robinson is willing to nurture and, at the right time, promote youth players then he's a great fit for us. For as stupid as KM's comment about "the future stars of the Premier League" was, selling our quality homegrown young players is a model we've been adhering to for a decade (longer if you count Parker). Shelvey, Jenkinson, Elliot, Gomez, THD, Harriott, and soon Lookman.
Honestly, I don't know how a team is financially feasible below the Prem in modern English football (amongst the drastically inflated wages thanks to the Premier League and rich Champo owners) unless they produce young players and sell them on to wealthier clubs or have an owner willing to continuously pour money in (which can be problematic--Hull, Bolton, Blackburn, etc.). I don't want this to be our long term ambition, and obviously last year's needless relegation has drastically exacerbated this, but in the short to medium term I don't know how else you can expect this football club to be run, unfortunately.3 -
perhaps Katrien is going to the electronics firm to help get them out of trouble shes good at turning businesses aroundMountsfieldPark said:
He just bought a new electronics business there, but it was on the rocks and needs turning around, so he probably needs to spend more than 1.5% of his time on it.DRAddick said:
Probably not, RD probably already had reason to be/go there. Remember he texted Talk sport that he was in Paris last week as well.killerandflash said:
Roland actually left Belgium to interview him wow!Bedsaddick said:
Obviously didn't make it as far as the UK, but Robinson probably fancied doing some Christmas shopping in Paris anyway1 -
I reckon Robinson will make Slide look like he was - absolute pony.2

Knee jerk reaction time:
'We interviewed a number of people including Karl Robinson who we nearly appointed but then as Kevin Nugent had a couple of victories and we like a good reactionary decision rather than a thought out strategic decision, and we were already paying him, we decided he was the best man for the job on an interim basis until he goes on a short losing streak when we will fire him.
CAFC.'2 - Sponsored links:

Not got a problem with Robinson and probably one of the best of the bunch out there. Hopefully he'd have got certain assurances in writing for his sake otherwise it will be the same old same old. Obviously happy to work with COL but maybe he'll just ignore him. Wonder if Nugent will stay on?0

Karl Robinson .... Sigh0

We've always (well most of us) believed that we have the nucleus of a strong side at this level, Rudd, Solly, Bauer, Pearce, Holmes, Lookman, Magennis, Ajose would all get into most sides in this division. Robinson has a good record in this division so if he can add a couple of midfielders to that lot then we'd need an absolute disaster to happen for us to not make the play offs.2

See you at Bradford amigo.0 -
Always seemed like a smarmy shite, but maybe when he is 'your smarmy shite' he's okay?18

Even if you don't like him, at least he isn't another network non-entity with no idea about English football.2
