Any one else get offended when he says OUFC have over achieved during his time here? He's achieved nothing, he joined us when we were lower half of league one and 4 years later we're in the lower half of league one!

 

[OxfordYankee]

I won’t listen to him, but he’s laying the foundations for his next role with stuff like that.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Manorlounger]

That was just so typical Robinson.

I was impressed that my question made him stop and draw breath before a nervous laugh came out. And, his last response was almost his farewell speech.

 

[ljs]

He is difficult to listen to with any seriousness. Nothing is ever his fault.

 

[Oxford1996]

Arrogant.

Some of the comments about the loyalty he’s shown when he went for an interview this summer with QPR are a f*****g disgrace.

 

[Berliner]

I don't think I've been as actively annoyed at one of our managers when he speaks than this absolute charlatan in current charge.
Not Wilder, Kemp, Clotet, Patterson, Wright...any of them.
Sets my teeth on edge!

I don't know, Clotet's 'not ideal' statement will take some beating.

What about Kinnear? Not a manager I know but...

Yes, and the constant "fokkus" grated after a while too. But the amount of bilge that KR comes out with, my word.
Kinnear was an odious human being, I didn't like him before he opened his mouth let alone after!

 

[EastStandKieran]

With KR he opens his mouth but the noise you can hear is coming from his a**e

Top 6 budget, bottom half of the table is overachieving?

 

[Joey]

I think he's referring to several years ago when we lost the playoff final. I'm still waiting for the film to come out.

Remind me please, what was Clotet's 'not ideal' statement?

If I had to guess, maybe he said 'it was not ideal I started Xemi in central midfield against Wigan and left Ledson and Rothwell on the bench'

Or maybe 'it's not ideal that Dwight Tiendalli can't run anymore'

Or how about 'it's not ideal that Ivo Pekalski can't play football'

 

[Oxymoron]

Well, I'm convinced.....

You're in the ballpark with the first one.


He described the 0-7 vs Wigan as "not ideal".

Sub-optimal.

About??

Ah he said that again did he? Well like you say he’s achieved f**k all in his tenure to date, cheeky scouse git, taxi…

It could be worse. We could have Nigel Pearson!

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I just listened to the KR 'five' minutes.

Painful, self-justifying stuff.

Is 'complete clarity' the new 'focus'?

This small time mentality is why we won't have success.

It was the same with the Wycombe playoff final - how great Wycombe are, how respectful we will be, how honoured we are to be at Wembley etc.

No.

Agree. Robinsons whole persona is one of acting like he's in charge of a little club. I'd rather see less caring, less respect, less doing everything by the book and more winning football matches by being absolute b******* if needs be.

Really? but it was only in the latest fans forum that he stated he and everyone (Board) are together and know exactly where we want to be long term.

 

[Paul Cannell]

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?

 

[horseman]

Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?

well no actually, not now he has people overseeing his every movement and word.

 

[ljs]

Well, if those people are taken in by his self pitying rambles, then we are f****d.

 

[Carpy]

This small time mentality is why we won't have success.

Also completely contradicts the message from the board about how we need to act like a top 30 club, top 30 clubs don't talk up how plucky they were when they completely blew expectations out of the water by getting beaten by the giants that are Wycombe Wanderers.

 

[Paul Cannell]

well no actually, not now he has people overseeing his every movement and word.

Well yes actually. He's going to say whatever he thinks they want to hear.

 

[ZeroTheHero]

And what else is he going to say? 'The board have given me a bollocking for underperforming and given me a series of targets to meet in the short and medium term or else I am out on my ear. But I don't care because if they sack me - I will get a pay off and find another club easily, because I have made little Oxford over-perform wildly."?

Exactly, he’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t whenever he speaks. Just one example:

I will protect my players - outrage

Criticises players - outrage
‘How dare he throw them under the bus!? I thought he was protecting them’

Over and over again. I wouldn’t be sad to see him go but he can’t be criticised whatever he says.
