How wasn’t he supported in the summer?
He said himself that:
- it was the best budget he had ever had to work with
- that Sam Smith was his main target
- that the squad he had was good enough to get to the playoffs
- Carruthers and Holmes would not have come cheap
Ok, they may have missed out on some targets because they got better offers (Mulumbu and Celtic spring to mind) but maybe that is because he was deluded and looking for players they never had a chance of getting.
Or perhaps they missed out on targets because players saw through his bullshit?!
To say he wasn’t supported, in my opinion, is completely false.
He has shoes players with a history of injury, unsurprisingly they have then got injured again, and then he wants to use injuries as an excuse?! Come on man!!
He moans about having a lack of options upfront..... who was responsible for signing (or not) the strikers we needed?
Yep, got it in one, Robinson.
Everyone who went to more than a handful of games last season could see that Obika was a squad player at best, yet somehow Robinson allowed us to go into the season with him as our main option up there....it was never going to work.
He said his job is “impossible” earlier this week..... well, if you believe the job is impossible despite being given the biggest budget you have had to work with you are probably in the wrong game.....
