I know they were going to have a catch-up
The other week, so where did you read this Sarge or are you referring to these previous talks?

it hadnt taken place last time KR was interviewed on Rad Ox / by local media , he said something along the lines of he still had to have 'those' talks with Tiger

It just me speculating that it may be a good time told hold those talks over the next week or so?

 

[Scotchegg]

Talks have taken place, and the message was pretty much Tiger telling KR - "you do your job and I'll do mine". My understanding is that Robinson has been given assurances that money is definitely available for players, and a number of genuine contacts have been identified, but everything depends on where we are at the end of the season.

So as much as all parties having time on their hands, the uncertainty of whether or not this season even finishes or if promotions take place or not, means that there is nothing else worth talking about right now.

Didn't you notice you weren't getting any more pick & mix

Good news for the stability of the club. He must have received pleny of assurances as to which direction the club is heading in.

 

[carefreeoufc]

Good for the club and good news if this is confirmed during the transfer window.

Demonstrates some stability, a plan (still don’t think we’ve been told what it is) and some reassurance for prospective players that we’re here to stay and looking to move in the right direction.

So what does this tweet say? Link is dead.

Best deal we’ve done this summer.

Great news all round. Very excited for this season....

Is KR MApp level of god status yet? I would definitely put him above him now. Loved MApp and you can't deny he laid the groundworks for where we are now but he had his shortcomings and jumped ship at a tough time, Robbo has and is going above and beyond to turn our club into a genuinely great and successful club to be involved with and support. Fantastic news

 

[Isle of Wight Yellow]

MApp is more built

MApp is just another manager from our history, left us in the lurch to chase some extra dosh.

KR is the man now and certainly has my respect and support!

My top 5 OUFC managers in order:

1) Jim Smith (first stint)
2) Maurice Evans
3) Michael Appleton
4) Dennis Smith
5) Karl Robinson

Im a huge fan of Robinson but, for me, thats the order it will stay until he wins a promotion with us. (Evans is up there for keeping us in the top league for three seasons against all odds and for basically being a top class gentleman).

Disclaimer: Arthur Turner was before my time but obviously has legendary status.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

KRob " poised " to sign a new FOUR YEAR contract.

PLEASE GIVE THAT MAN A PEN

 

[EastStandKieran]

I hope KR does sign a new contract I think he has proven a lot of people wrong including myself after his first season where we struggled most of the campaign and last season if we didn’t have to stop due to Covid I think we would be a championship team now let’s hope he carries on his good work and gets us up this season

 

[MJB]

Tiger giving him another contract, eh? Wow.

I’d say getting Brannagan signed was equally as important.

Not for me at the moment. Weve traditionally had bloody awful starts under Robbo, we did well to qualify for the playoffs of course, but we bombed in the final. We fell into the Wycombe tactical trap, had no answer to it really. Mapp built an amazing team with real backbone but so much flair we were incredible to watch, went up automatically from a very tough league and got to Wembley twice. A full strength Swansea team were dispatched with such style.

I like Robbo, think hes doing a decent job, but hasnt achieved anything yet in real terms.

They are very different managers, but they had similar first seasons. There were lots of fans that weren't keen on either and they both took time to win some of the fans over.
KR for me, purely because we are at a higher level and he has really shown genuine love for the club and the fans and wants to be involved in all aspects of the club.

I'd counter that MApp didn't get near us being in the L1 play offs and KR oversaw us destroying West Ham and holding Newcastle away and running them very close at home, and giving Man City a proper game. We played with as much, if not more flair with KR's team last season in what was an incredible season (ie. Lincoln away) and but for Coronavirus I reckon we'd now be promoted automatically (my opinion obviously).

As an aside, both have been fantastic for us.

He kind of did though. We were 4 points off 6th at the end of 2016-17, his only season managing us in L1.

I think MApp is definitely a beneficiary of circumstance to some extent, he quit while he was ahead, and had the excuse of leaving because of an owner the fanbase was slowly turning on too, which deflected attention and blame from him. But much as I love KR, and I am proud to say I have backed him from day 1, he's not on MApp's level yet.

But we never looked like making it really from memory, always out of reach.

A stern but not unreasonable summary I'd say.

What about Kemp
