I agree with @ValleyGary , so far Robbo hasn't shown me that he has the substance to back up all of the talking. He's backed himself to turn the situation around, but hasn't shown the strength of character to be able to do so. The Millwall and Peterborough losses have shown him to be tactically inept, after talking up a performance to make us proud, and he was slapped down by the fruitcake owner when he went cap-in-hand to Belgium for transfer funds. He needs to drop the Stan Boardman routine and shape up, by putting together a run of results similar to the Bristol Rovers game from now to the end of the season, to make me change my mind. So far, he is coming across as only half as good as he thinks he is. Whats his record so far, 2 wins in 10?
Who do we think the young player with the flash car is?
He said it was a young player who hasn't played too many games. He was put off him, at first, by the flash car, but then found out he's actually a good kid.
KAG according to some on Twitter who have seen his car.
Would make sense, I've seen him in Eltham High St in a very expensive looking Range Rover.
100% has to be KAG, surely? I have seen him around quite a lot, more so around Thamesmead at first and for his age, he has been driving very flashy cars as soon as he would've had his license.
As it's been said, his money, do what he wants with it. Just I do feel they get too much too soon, even at this level. Shows with Lookman, the ones who stay humble and grounded normally are the ones who work hard to get to the top.
I don't disagree with VG. Scepticism of the manager should be expected. But on the flip side, I don't think he should be called a 'gobby scouse twat' either.
Post match pressers after defeats hes still high as a kite and trying to overly give off the impression that he gave the players a right bollocking, for some reason.
It's all about him.
The way he used to say "foxy".
I don't know what it is. Not really a normal manager. Maybe that's just because he appears happy quite often. Most managers do not appear that way! It's a stressful job and in the public eye. Addiction to it and love for it keeps managers coming back.
The job seems like water off a duck's back for this bloke. Maybe that's thick skin.
Ha, you've got it easy. I get up 30 minutes before I go to bed and have to walk 40 miles to work a 72 hour shift with only a lidl digestive biscuit for my lunch!
And you tell kids today that, and they won't believe it.
I never even considered listening to this. For the first time in my life I've known a Charlton manager was on the radio and didn't have the slightest inclination to listen. I think there's two reasons for this: 1. A general pessimism and down-spiritedness I feel about all things Charlton thanks to three years of Duchatelet's regime. 2. Not respecting Robinson's opinions since the day he ridiculously bigged-up Mare. I don't want to hear him orally gratifying her. I'd rather he be quiet and get on with the day job.

As a bloke and a person he's probably ok.
I think his excitement might partly be explained by the fact he never had a playing career worth discussing. Although he's been at MK for about seven years, this is the biggest stage he's ever had.

You have to give a new manager time, specially when his footballing philosophy is diametrically opposed to that of his predecessor. JS's first season was about getting the right players in and stabilisation. We're putting pressure on KR when he's been hit by injuries etc and his squad doesn't contain the depth (or quality?) that's required. I'd like to see him given the summer to sort out the squad and set up for next season. Yet another new manager would be an absolute disaster for the club.

Don't think it would make any difference. As has been proven time and again since Roland took over, the manager is irrelevant if the resources provided are insufficient.
Our squad has nowhere near the quality or depth to be successful in this division, but the rumours coming from the club (and Robinson) are that we might be bringing in one more player.
We need at least 4 more decent signings to be anything more than mid-table this season. Slade said as much towards the end of the Summer transfer window. The fact that Robinson has not expressed the same opinion very much suggests that the various rumours about him receiving a cut of incoming transfer fees might well be true.

He better stop telling the oppo the players and tactics he's going to use before he can put a run together
