Mick Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 who said he should have gone when we finished 3rd? None of us know if it would have been better for him to go earlier or later, I have my ideas on when he should have gone but I could be wrong. I think we all agree that the timing of the sacking and the manner in which it came about were shocking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpinho Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I love the way he thinks about it so simply. Hes not got stats and fitness regimes etc coming out of his arse, he just says get some legs in the team put it on the deck and play. Old school managers so much better than the new types.

TRon Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 He was supposed to have lost discipline in the dressing room when he was unceremoniously sacked. In hindsight, it might have been a rash decision seeing where disciplinarian Souness' reign of error has landed us since. Personally I don't really buy the lack of discipline line as showing loss of control, as Robson was quite clear he was prepared to leave Shearer out of the starting line up that season; a brave statement which might have had more to do with his sacking maybe. In any case, you can't help marvel at his football intelligence. You could spend years pumping out statistics without getting close to that level of insight.

Or was that later on? No I think you are right. Robson said he was reluctant to break his contract at the time, which was probably true but I think he wanted to prove himself there before quitting as well.
