I don't think he will...until the end of the season.Why would KR want to go to Blackpool apart from a holiday, he's done so much here and has built a very competitive squad that just might give us a shot at promotion this season.
Didn’t work for Appleton bar money though did it.I sort of get the Appleton type vibes that Robbo wants a promotion to the Championship and from there a move to a bigger club, and that sticking around at a league 1 club which doesn't have the ambition / budget for much more than a tilt at a play-off place isn't going to achieve that.
I don't think this even qualifies as a conspiracy theory. Using Occam's Razor, why else would she have been there? I can't imagine anyone from OUFC was on the phone to Sky saying we've just rejected a bid for our manager, and only representatives of OUFC and Blackpool would have known anything about the approach. Blackpool have got what they presumably wanted in unsettling everyone at OUFC, too. Extremely unimpressed by them.We all know that KR will contradict himself from one interview to the next; compare his "I'll be seeking assurances" statement to "I talk to Tiger more often than I talk to my wife" soundbite from the weekend. I tend to take anything that comes from his mouth with a pinch of salt and I would have thought he is well aware of the club's plans, so what assurance is he seeking (some sort of budget committal aside)?
What seems slightly smelly about this is the timing and manner of this coming into the public domain. I can't believe that Blackpool rocked up yesterday with their interest, but I can believe that OUFC told them to take a long walk off a short pier - and that should have been the end of it, as it has been with every managerial vacancy approach and I'm pretty sure this isn't the first.
Instead, we have a sky reporter who has no interest in the club suddenly coming to a game after 20 odd years and having an exclusive scoop on the subject a hour or so before the game. Incredible coincidence or deliberate leak? Whether that would be an attempt to unsettle Robinson himself, the team or the club and fanbase as a whole, I don't know and yes, I'm aware that as conspiracy theories go, it's up there with the best, but it's all a little "convenient" for me.
Or Robbos agent has?I don't think this even qualifies as a conspiracy theory. Using Occam's Razor, why else would she have been there?

Possible but unlikely imo. Genuinely believe KR hadn’t heard anything about it when he was interviewed, and as far as I understand it it’s illegal for clubs to go to players/coaches behind another club’s back. Not saying that that means they haven’t, but seems more likely to me that they’re the ones who leaked it.Or Robbos agent has?

This club is f*****g nuts.
Selling Fosbap in January was something but letting the manager leave for a team placed lower than us in February all whilst the team is having it's most successful season in a while, it is well placed to challenge for play offs and the clubs profile is on the rise.
You couldn't make it up. Can anyone name another team where such rubbish has happened?
