Perhaps, but he’s had his say more than once over the last month and needs to wind it in. If he leaves he’s done so ensuring that plenty of fans will be fuming at the board and slapping him on the back like he’s a good old boy who got shafted by the suits. How is that good for the football club? How does that benefit the thing he wants everybody to know how much he supposedly cares about? Michael Appleton didn’t comment on the links to him and Leicester before he left, he just quietly got on with it and then left when there was actually something to say. He was frustrated at what he felt was a disappointing January window a few months before he moved on as well, but he said his bit quickly and firmly at the time, got his head down again and that was the end of it. He didn’t go around for weeks and weeks publicly stoking it, waving his a**e around and talking about how he would need to be shown the love and that the club had to prove it was worthy of him staying. Robinson is starting to behave like he’s far too big for his boots and is showing signs that he’s more worried about people blowing smoke up his a**e, and being the centre of attention than quietly respecting the club and getting on with what he’s paid to do.
I am as sceptical about the board as anybody and I think they set us back badly in January, absolutely, but he needs to wind it in now - shut up and get on with it or sack it off and get going. And if he doesn’t go, he can’t go pulling this every time he’s got a point to make and doesn’t get his way. This is not the Karl Robinson show.
