    Could be something in this.

    Only up the road from MK where I'm pretty sure he still resides.

    I sort of like Robinson , I think the players like Robinson, I'd rather see him leave on his own terms than face the sack

    That being said we do need a more tactically versatile manager.

    Don't understand the hate for Robinson, talks a lot of bollocks but he clearly cares and is very passionate, has done reasonably well considering the circus going on behind the scenes

    Could it be Roland pushing Robinson to accept the oxford job in order to gain a quick buck with oxford having to pay compensation?

    So no CEO, no Finance Officer and possibly soon no manager...

    Is Murray going to do that as well...?

    More likely he’s been told the deal is done and he will be out of a job in a few days.

    Who's Robinson going to openly unnecessarily praise in the media next week?

    I’ve moved this great question to a seperate thread, mainly because I don’t want this thread going off topic....

    Oxford have new owners, are a decent club and near his home.

    They are also not, to use Robinson's own words, a basket case.

    Would be a sensible move for Robinson really. Decent set-up and a club with a lot of potential. Just been bought out by a Thai investor so they could either march up the table or he could have the exact same situation again as he had at Charlton. Given that when a takeover eventually does go through he'll be out of a job it all makes sense.

    Do they need a COO?

    If he jumps ship we may hear his real thoughts earlier than if we have to wait for this imminent takeover.

    If he goes to Oxford no approbation from me. I think I will eventually see him a bit like I see Phil Parkinson now.

    Is that good or bad?

    Why does Parky not get praise? He had zero money and was sacked when 5th for a nobody who admittedly did amazingly in his first full two seasons.

    Similar sort of stuff.
    Parky will always carry Northwich Victoria with him which counteracts other achievements..

    Fair response, it's not like non league clubs ever beat league one sides.
  • Patrick Kluivert is second favourite. Think that book is well out of wack.

    I agree.

    This is an awful load of bollocks really isn't it?
    Emperors new clothes springs to mind, appreciate the facts but it's like being hooked on heroin.
    Murray's statement is so deliberately garbled it seems like mind games.

    His NDA will probably stay in effect after he leaves the club.

    I think you will find the man in the red woolly hat is a different RM.

    If you look more carefully beneath his cunning disguise, you will realise it's Rupert Murdoch and he is the well known individual that those ITK have been trying to protect. He is in the process of telling Gobinson he's got the job at Oxford as long as he
    1. Shuts up and
    2. Catches the next train that leaves in 30 minutes.

    I don't get why folk want to see the back of KR. Sitting 7th under the current regime ain't doing too bad imo and even if he does go, either pumped or of his own doing, who do you expect will replace him considering the current situation the club is in?
