Roland sends Karl an e-mail asking him to explain why we lost to Posh by more than 2 goals. Then really upsets Karl by going on to explain the 442 system. Karl lets rip at Roly before the next game (Blackpool), ffs 442 that's all I here from the clowns in the stands every week. you want my resignation you can have it.
No thanks Karl can't be bovvered, not accepting it.0 -
He'd be in breach of contract if he walked out. Has to work out his notice period.mogodon said:Never understood when someone resigns only for it to be rejected why they don't just walk. What's the difference?
Only conclusion in such instances is that either the individual is gunning for something else (pay rise, longer contract, new chair) or it's no more than a public gesture with the aim of winning someone over (workforce, customers etc).
If he wants out, then go. If he wants to stay then stop throwing up endless smokescreens and excuses and knuckle down to trying to salvage the season.
Or, ahem, someone with close family links to Jimmy Seed, who will reintroduce the much lamented 'W' formation, and stick with it through thick and thin.Baldybonce said:

It has to be Euell, Jackson, Bowyer and the players pulling together.
'I offer my resignation' is something you say when you're not thinking clearly (from previous experience of other people). He may have offered to resign if he's given some compensation, but why would RD accept that.bobmunro said:I'm not sure what 'offered to resign' means. He either resigned or he didn't - and if he resigned then Roland can't refuse to accept it. Resignation is a unilateral act.

If RD truly cared about his interim role overseeing management whilst we are in the process of being sold, he’d be more on top of this
I suspect he’s simply a mouth piece if Roland asks him to do something
Whilst I feel for KR on the basis I think he put a shift in over the summer and wants it to work, I think he’s probably talked himself into a situation whereby he’s losing credibility. I look at his whole approach versus someone like Chris Hughton for example, and think that the mantra less is more would be ample here. He loves to talk, but I think he talks so much he says things that contradict on a regular basis. It’s not this, it was the car park as well

I'd carry him to Oxford on my back. No small feat given the size of me and the size of him.
And that's coming from someone who supported him until around the Oxford game.3 -

No.ShootersHillGuru said:Have Oxford made an announcement yet ?
The headline on the Oxford Mail site not changed for a couple of hours.
My view is swaying towards Robinson going there. An announcement not been made so thinking compensation talks have not been finalised.
Still amazing if he does go though.0 -
He stated Saturday that he had one-to-ones with them last week, presumably to tell each one of them his opinion of them, or to tell them goodbyeJamesSeed said:
I have a feeling Robinson doesn't rate our players (barring his signings of course) and the players know that. He probably couldn't stop himself from telling them.MuttleyCAFC said:Well the fact that whilst the takeover is up in the air, Robinson is not going to be sacked is an opportunity for him. I don't mind the crap he spouts in press conferences when the team is doing ok to be honest. It is up to him to stuff the criticism down our throats by turning things around. And it is up to players who may be unsure of their futures to impress this or other clubs by playing well.
All this talk of him going to Oxford - I can't honestly see there being a big queue for his services and seeing as he is in a job right now, his best bet is to stop feeling sorry for himself and turn things round. He has people around him - call a meeting and discuss options to save our season. No holds barred, criticism of tactics ect... Why do teams find it so easy to stop us? Why do we not look dangerous enough? Why do we make key defensive slips? Explore what alternative tactics might work. No suggestion is ridiculous sort of thing. I would imagine an in house meeting between Robbo, JJ, Bowyer and Euell chaired by Keith Peackock may be helpful. But that is for him - for us we have to see the team turning it round starting from Plymouth on Saturday!0 -
Poor old KR. First he can’t get his tactics correct, then he can’t get the players motivation correct, now he can’t resign correctly..31

I can't be arsed to go Saturday. But if he's still here then he deserves everything he gets.
Perhaps this is all a ploy to detract the anger away from Duchatalet?1 -
Can't believe the bookies have Plymouth at 9/4 against.
No striker, no keeper, no CEO, maybe no manager, no fans.....1 -
Robinson has a bad side and verbal diarrhea.shirty5 said:

Is that right even if you're working on a fixed term contract? Unless there's an agreed notice period, which (if it's even there) is probably is tied to the end of the season, wouldn't Robinson be in breach if he just left?cafc-west said:You can't really refuse a resignation! You can try and convince the person to stay on, offer a bonus to stay, etc. But legally he can tender his resignation and work his agreed notice period.

I can't wait to go on Saturday. What an absolutely historic match it'll be, under the weirdest of circumstances you could possibly imagine.cantersaddick said:I can't be arsed to go Saturday. But if he's still here then he deserves everything he gets.

I expect chants of "f*** off to Oxford" if we lose so it's obvious who is being blamed.0

Well, just a suggestion, the wicked witch of the West is at Hilsborough these days and you can contact Doctor Kish on line, any good?MuttleyCAFC said:

Doesn't need to scout Shrewsbury though. After they played us off the park at the Valley, he told us he knew exactly how they'd set up and play.............but did nothing about it.golfaddick said:2 -

Don't worry we have Fleetwood at home next week and they are completely rubbish. Haven't had a clean sheet this year! We'll win that easily. Nobody could mess that one up!.............It is next week isn't it?1
