    The bloke passed a mirror the other day. He spent 6 hours talking to himself before he realised!

    It's a very aggravating article to be honest. Loads of buzzwords and nonsense speak that basically boils down to 'we've made a bollocks of this, haven't we'

    Here you are. Waste another 5 minutes of your life reading about exciting challenges, hamster wheels and winning cultures.

    Interestingly, he now refers to Douchabg as the owner, not President.

    Blah, blah, blah. He still doesn't get it does he? Douchebag must be laughing up his sleeve. Can't believe Robinson falls for all his crap. NOTHING will change while the Belgian is in charge. I can just imagine some of the 'summer signings' KR has planned too. So looking forward to next season . . .not!

    I think Two Sheds will soon be changing how he refers to KR - ex-manager rather than manager.

    Defeat against Bury and the only thing he will be rebuilding in the Summer is his garden shed.

    Sound bites, meaningless buzz word horse bollock manure stirred together with a huge ladle of wishful thinking that bears little relation to reality or the evidence of the last 6 windows.

    Not afraid to upset people apart from the 1 or 2 most responsible for the ongoing mess. As we know any dissent & KR will be getting his pay off, sooner rather than later as all the other head coaches / managers.

    To be honest I think when Chrissy Powell rebuilt that side he must have upset a few people. The likes of the members squad that was there in 2010/11 that left in summer 2011. You have to upset people and disappoint people to rebuild.
  • He has already accepted there is zero chance of going up, so is thinking of the players he needs, probably to replace the final assets we have to sell.

    maybe that's what he's angling for?
    He's realised his superiors have no footballing ambition and he's happy to be paid off.

    Still be a sad day for football

    No he doesn't come across well, he comes across as desperate. He wants 7 or 8 signings but, as we know only too well, he'll only get what he's given and how many players, that he would like to keep, will he lose to balance the books?

  • Dirty stinking shitrag, dirty stinking manager. Perfectly suited.

    I thought it to be a fair article or maybe I am just falling for good PR work.

    Don't really know or care anymore. It's just permanent negativity at Charlton.

    Win two or three on the bounce then we might listen Karl, we might get behind you.
  • Oh my god he's so annoying

    Oh do bore off everyone. Isn't the article just a rehash of his press day?

    Yes he talks a lot, and yes things haven't quite turned around as yet but I do get the impression that a lot of the bods on this board (and in life) are much happier when they're moaning. Please cheer up people. For all his talk, at least we currently have a boss who gives a shit and who actually understands the club. I guarantee the next one will be much worse all you negative people. Now go back to hating life and kicking your pet hamster you sad sausages.
  • He talks the talk, he even talks the walk, but he hasn't walk the walk.

    More bullshit bingo from KR. Can't wait to see what he say's next season when the owner doesn't back him with the players that he wants in the summer, providing he is still in a job that is...

    Maybe I'm in the minority here, I don't particularly like Robinson's insistance on talking into every open microphone, but to me he's about the best we could have hoped for and comments like;

    How about you mind your own business and stop telling other people what opinions they can have? FWIW, Irrespective of him being a puppet, or having a big mouth, or being a walking advert for himself, I've never liked him. Thought he was an arrogant, mouthy prick when he was franchise's manager, and nothing he's done since he came here has changed my opinion of him
  • Karl talking to the press again.

    Did he mention anything about the culture, needing to change at the club?

    He talked about upsetting people. I suppose we can have an educated guess who those individuals are.
    Definitely Watt.
    Chicksen? If so strange, seeing that he was at MK Dons for a decent period. Seems to have been bombed out.
    Magennis? Prior to his injury, we loved him for his run all day attitude. Now, his body language seems completely different.
    Sometimes you need to big players up. Sean Dyche is a good example.
    I think KR is part of the problem. I have not heard one player say a good word about him. If so, I have missed it.
