An overriding feeling of utter relief for myself.
What an utterly shambolic last few weeks it has been, it's been an absolute car crash and the board have got to learn from this.
(1) We've had a lame duck manager in place through the transfer window.
(2) We've subsequently bought in players in January who have to date not made a positive difference.
(3) We've lost an ideal interim manager from our ranks as the board continued to stick with the wrong man.
(4) They've made the announcement without having an interim person lined up, that gives the impression that their loss of faith in Robinson is a relatively recent thing.
I know us football fans can be hard to please at times, but we've had every right to be even more vocal than we have been during this utter car crash few weeks.
As for Robinson, it will be really interesting to see what happens to his career. For me he'll be a mid league 1 / league 2 manager at best, nothing wrong with that but not what we need if we truly have any ambition.
It would be churlish not to acknowledge we have had some great periods of free flowing football, but what we need is someone that can get their teams over the line. Robinson has consistently proved throughout his career he cannot do that, 1 promotion to the championship and 1 immediate relegation tells you all you need to know.
I think we need someone who has a recent promotion on their CV, or an up and coming bright spark who is truly on the money with the latest management methods / understands data based decision making. Robinson always gave me the impression he talked about things like this because it was the 'done thing' but didn't truly buy into them - hence his reliance on rescue calls to ex players ahead of targeted scouted players.
Wilder and Appleton went on to bigger things, it will be really interesting to see where he ends up. If I was him I'd be tempted to have a break and do some media stuff, he's got his friends in national media and I'm sure they'll be pumping out the usual narrative about him.
