Although I'm not one of these people who seem to have an almost unexplainable hate for Robinson, I'm sure we have heard all this chuff about a better pre season before from previous managers.
Broken record, and I cannot be bothered to go into detail, but nothing is going to improve as long as we have RD and KM running the club.34 -
He's Still churning out the same old stuff.
It's gone beyond who the manager is for me, i just want the current owners to sell up and go.9 -
Has he said whether other League One teams are still expecting a Charlton surge up the table ?10
-
He's agreed a budget, let's hope it's top six so we can get promoted.23
-
Also plans in place to rearrange the deckchairs on the Titanic.14
-
I know I should but right now I can't even summon up the enthusiasm to click the play button. It'll be more bullshit and platitudes from someone who will more than likely not even be here to welcome the players back for pre-season, early or not.
Sad times.24 -
When? The only manager under RD who actually had the luxury of planning a pre-season was Luzon. All other magers either left at the end of the previous season or never made it that far.FishCostaFortune said:Although I'm not one of these people who seem to have an almost unexplainable hate for Robinson, I'm sure we have heard all this chuff about a better pre season before from previous managers.

Slade pretty much said pre-season planning was non existent before he arrived and that he had to play catch-up throughout the summer.

There is a world of difference between the club "saying" they are planning for next season and putting an effective project in place to identify and recruit the players who will be capable of a promotion push.
The lot we have at present are a million miles away from the quality and mentality required.
KR can bleat all he likes about his training plans pre Portmarnock.......that alone won't change things dramatically.
Without RD having a major change in personality and approach.........none of what Robinson "plans" will matter.1 -
At the risk of repeating a comment like it's a mantra, no manager (however good or bad) will succeed under the current ownership.5

With Robinson interviews, for every good thing, there are a whole number of contradictions, half truths & statements that completely ignore reality of life under Duchatelet. Ok if a person knows nothing about goings on but for Charlton supporters knowing even just a little about the situation, Robinson's blather ends up undermining the positive parts of his narrative to make a big ball of cheesy unpalatable mush.14

You have articulated very well what comes across with Robinson. Blather undermines the positive, with Roland the constant spectre at the feast.vff said:With Robinson interviews, for every good thing, there are a whole number of contradictions, half truths & statements that completely ignore reality of life under Duchatelet.

The hopeful supporter responds to the positives (which do exist) but then results and reality kicks in.5 -
Well statistically if you say a lot of things then by sheer law of averages they're going to be right occasionally (Please note that this statistical law does not apply to Katie Hopkins or David Wolfe).1

It's season ticket renewal time.
Of course they will wheel out the latest managerial puppet to say what they think fans want to hear. They try it every year.
Nothing will change sadly in reality.21 -

The time of year when an ever decreasing number of fans believe things may turn a corner for the better under the current ownership, I am ashamed to say in my desire to be optimistic I fell for it a lot longer then I should have.0

The man is just performing for the PR department and it's humiliating and tragic.

No coincidence that season ticket renewal forms hit the mats this week.
Still can't warm to him.
Talks and talks and within minutes all I can hear is blah blah blah against the background of the magic roundabout theme tune.17 -
We'll be short of whats needed in August, fumble around, sack the manager in the autumn, then hope the January sticking plaster makes a difference.
Repeat ad infinitum5 -
The budget may be helpful but the as the recent losses show, if it is spent badly with a focus on whether a player can be sold on to make a profit later, with rubbish scouting & unhelpful interference from the owner then the outcome is not going to be successful.Badger said:He's agreed a budget, let's hope it's top six so we can get promoted.
No Charlton manager (under Duchatelet) is going to escape the control of Drieson the amateur or Duchatelet's meddling terrible strategy. Add in Meire's negotiating ability of a spoilt 9 year old. Things ain't going to improve. Robinson may get to a pick a couple of players but with the team dismantled again it is unlikely that he will get sufficient control or squad depth.
As many posters have observed, on this & other CL threads, the only thing that will really give Charlton a chance to be successful next season is a new owner.1 -

Karl was this budget agreed before the 13.5M loss was anounced? Might need to rethink as we are told this will not be allowed to happen again.0
-
Yes. The club will have been aware for almost a year what the losses were going to look like.
The more important element is how much of the subsequent significant player sales will be reinvested in the club.
By my reckoning, if Roly is staying then very little. If he's throwing in the towel, none at all.0 -

When he says he's agreed a budget, i assume that what he actually means is that RD has told him what the budget is and tough shit if he doesn't like it.
It won't be very much though, something along the lines of 100k plus whatever we can get for Konsa.4 -
He said all that stuff, just in a different order, after his trip to Paris, didn't he?4

KR is the regime's performing seal & as such, I'm starting to feel sorry for him.

Never feel sorry for any manager who works for this mob as they know what they are up against. If he doesn't then he is bloody stupid or desperateFanny Fanackapan said:
