Manager/Coach KREXIT: The 'Robbo Out' thread.

[gofish2]

Whilst there have been reasons expressed as to why it's not wise to sack KR, what is the reason, and where's the evidence. to support keeping him? 35 points from 30 games and a -2 GD, 4 losses on the bounce with 1 goal scored and a real possibility of a relegation battle. The post match rhetoric is predictable and unconvincing, and accounts for much of the unrest. That the board did not invest in anything but loan signings, says a great deal and suggests that despite the TW politically careful (and thoughtful) comments, change has to be close. These are not stupid people, and it may well be that things behind the scenes are in progress. I sincerely hope so because KR has run out of ideas and has used all of his 9 lives. This is about facts and not personal criticism.I am not interested in the latter and think pragmatism is required. I hope the board think the same way.

Tim Williams and his side kick dont seem to appreciate how the situation could pan out if the teams below us win their games in hand. These are the main apologists for kr keeping him in a job. Someone referenced them as bein to blame for our relegation, for not getting rid of the clown soon enough, back in October, and putting Mous in charge.
kr's interview was of a desperate man, referring to a game 5 years ago, Luton, and how set off on a new journey the next day.
"A new journey," now where have we heard that before.
He said we draw a line under the rock bottom place we are, and climb up a new mountain, achieving greater success than before (What success??)

So lets all join hands with karl as we off on this new journey from Luton, over the mountains, the Chilterns maybe, as we join in the following song....

Anyone that defends KR at this point is not an Oxford fan.

Sleepwalking in to League 2.

I’m not defending him, but it’s getting to the point I feel sorry for him because the board should be taking the decision away from him. It’s bordering on negligence on their part.

Yeah agreed, KR has to come out after a game and spin some kind of defense. Hes always going to sound stupid doing this, he can hardly come out and say "sack me" which it probably closer to the truth than anything he actually said.

Everyone needs to move on, let's call time on this now.

 

[Bicester Yellow]

Worst interview he’s ever given.

Bloke is an utter lying c**t.

Don’t think we are the only ones to find that out too late

It’s just setting him up to look like an idiot. I don’t personally have any ill feeling towards the bloke but it’s getting nasty now & that’s through the boards inability to do their job properly as custodians of the club.

 

[Shaun Rice]

I’m sure KR is a nice bloke.
I’m sure most of the players and staff like him. BUT most of our transfer windows since he started have been a bit of a mess. Players coming in very late, Insufficient cover in key positions and this has led us to play players out of position. It’s cost us results.
He has not been able to put a season together. Bad starts, bad finishes.
I don’t want him gone just because of recent results but because he has has long enough and proven himself to be not up to the job,

Wrong.

There were spaces in the East Stand Carpark before kick off, plus it was a breeze getting out after the match. A lot of season ticket holders are currently not bothering to attend.

As Jerome said “Apathy is a silent killer.”

The Blackbird was noticeably quieter pre-match and I had a very efficient pee at half-time in the East Stand - no queuing required - people aren’t turning up in previous numbers.

 

[oufc1991]

Why hasn't he been sacked yet ... Aberdeen sacked their manager straight after he left the dug out last week same should have happened today with Robinson

The severance amount is Eye-watering. That's why Ferguson and Williams are sitting on their hands.

Attendance was apparently 7,000+ today, well I can tell you right now it wasn’t. Hundreds are staying away if not at least a thousand, if you can’t even get season ticket holders to attend when they’ve paid for their ticket. Then you’ve got a massive problem. I don’t care what the severance package is. It’s £400k there or thereabouts. Get rid now. Dropping into league two or allowing this man another season at the club will do more damage than multi billionaires parting with just under half a million.

Well somebody should have woke the owners up and told them to sack him then go back to sleep

 

[Bicester Yellow]

It’s less than we spent on Marcus Browne’s transfer fee. Context.

They’re going to lose more in revenue than it costs them in severance if this bloke isn’t removed. Watching dozens upon dozens of people leaving the stadium and crossing the car park with 15 minutes to go should worry them deeply, especially given ST holders are visibly starting to duck out of attending. Those are the people who won’t renew, and there’s a lot of them.

Spot on as always mate, actually feel for KR as well that they are not able to make a decision to put him out of his misery, he ain’t gonna walk away from about 400k, whether he needs the money or not. Nor would any of us in his situation. The board are just being cowards. No other way to put it

Wake them up, this is important!

Alot of arguments on the way out of the east stand between fans. Its time the board/owners come out and either back Karl or sack him!

 

[Sharp Edges]

Are the board worried that the club is such a s**t show on and off the pitch that if they sack the useless fucker the list of applicants will be hugely underwhelming?

 

[Yellow River]

The board need to understand and realise that the longer they dither the less time the new manager has to turn things round.

It’s only right and fair to give the new manager the best chance to be successful.

My hunch is that they are dithering because they want the new man to start in May

That's no reason to stick with the current manager.

Bring in an interim manager to the end of the season if that's so much of a problem. It isn't going to be any more appealing in the summer.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

What Mr Williams fails to understand is that this mess has not suddenly crept under his door.
If he had moved to sack Karl a month ago, the ship would have been steadied by now I am sure.
We have now arrived at a critical moment for this club. The red lights are flashing. The R word is looming large in the rear view mirror.
Many fans on yellows forum go to games home and away and they have been calling Karl’s leadership into question for f*****g months.

If we do somehow go down this season, Mr Williams cannot possibly say that he didn’t get a chance to get rid of Karl and install another manager to see us home.
FFS Sack him now Mr Williams… Before it’s too Late!
