  • Robinson won't be sacked as he's a PR dream for the regime. He talks a lot, which means Meire doesn't need to say anything!

    I don't think he'll be sacked for poor results only but if he starts complaining about not being backed by Meire and Duchatelet or kicks back against Dreisen or O'Loughlin he'll be gone

    All the time he does not complain he has a job simple as. The interruption of his birthday lunch caused the direct sacking of Russel Slade.

    Surely not? Even Roland and his crazy ways will give him until the end of the season?!

    In normal circumstances.
  • Just for a different perspective, I thought I'd apply something one of my bosses told me ages ago. After listening to me complaining about someone not doing the job implied by their title, he asked me if I knew what that person had been set as objectives by their bosses.

    The point being, to us, KR is failing. The team isn't improving, results are not coming, and another season of L1 beckons.

    But if Roly said
    - keep us away from relegation
    - develop the young players for sale
    - be the front man, talking up the club and the players
    Then you could argue he's a success, or at least on the right path.

    Not making the playoffs is unlikely to be the tipping point for Roly. Failing on one or more of the three above is much more likely to get him kicked out the door.
  • Robinson was the only one on the shortlist that was stupid enough to take the job. He won't sack him even if we go on a particularly bad run. I think he will give him the summer time to sort out this shit, if then it continues then he will be gone. Such a sad state of affairs. Do us a favour Roland and do one PLEASE.

    22 pages to go, could take some time.
    Roland and Meire are watching this and WILL sack him when it gets to 24 pages. This is like a really dull tedious version of Speed!
  • a really dull tedious version of speed (the movie) sounds like speed (the movie)
  • No chance of Mr Gobby going anywhere for now. Far too adept at conning fans on behalf of Tom Rubinstein and the PR department.

  • Good grief, had me going for a minute, my minds racing at 200mph and can't get too sleep, thought this was for real!
  • Try not taking a gram of speed just before bedtime...;)
  • Had me going for a second, and remembered saying he'd be gone by Valentine's Day...

    (it's a late Easter this year, though...)

    Half guessed this would be shit, but opened it as it was General Charlton.
    Don't see the humour in this one - his sacking would plumb new depths imo
  • i gave him till march. now with the protests going ahead at the beginning of that month i think i could be right.
  • To be honest this is one bloody silly thread.....

    Surely even RD wouldn't set "keep us away relegation" in L1 as a target for a team that have just been relegated from the Championship with a "top six budget".

    I actually think promotion would have been the target and I think promotion would have been the target when we were in the Championship. One of the most conceivable explanations for our constant churn of managers is that Roland sets unreasonably high expectations but doesn't deliver the tools to achieve those expectations.
  • Roland will totally miss the point of the protests (again) sack Robinson, before employing that Irish fella till the end of the season
    massive re build in the summer with whoever comes in, spiral starts again
  • Bookies rarely wrong

    Fabulous typo

  • Said when we appointed him that his last game would be home to MK Dons on 25 March. Wouldn't bet against it.
  • Combination of insipid results, failure to make playoffs and roly's humiliation from the coming deposition will see the septuagenarian shitforbrains pull the trigger and hand the scouse gobshite his cards. With the spectral Congo Chris hovering around Sparrows Lane KR must know his departure is a matter of 'when' not 'if', currently the pointers are to 'when' being quite soon, only a run of convincing victories could stay roly's P45 printer. The stay would of course be temporary. So long as the scouse gobshite and his inevitable successor (how inappropriate is that noun?!?) cajole Charlton to a finish no lower than 20th, I'll remain ambivalent for the rest of the season or until roly sells/departs whichever is sooner.
  • Sacked after the Protest.
  • Had me going
  • His chat in his press conference about building for next season and clubs with stability seemed to me, like a desperate attempt to persuade them to keep him on for next season.

    I suspect he knows he is treading a thin line
  • BUMP...

    I think we're going to need this very soon.

    22 pages too early
  • Sinking this, what was a good joke 3 months ago now seems to potentially close to reality
