Jocky Balboa Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hahaha, Terry Hurlock. That's a name I never thought I'd hear again. A Poundshop Doug Rougvie, but with a terrible haircut to boot. Link to comment

Guest Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Robinson at M'Well resigned, having taken the club "as far as he can." Finished 3rd last season and lost a few cup finals in his time there, on a fraction of our budget. It's always good when a manager can see his own militations at a particular club, isn't it? Take note, Derek. Link to comment

Take note, Derek. The question is out as to whether He had it in him to turn around Motherwell’s poor performance. 7th, 8th, 3rd(in a curtailed season) and now 10th (as it stands) He hinted in his last press conference about the limitations of his squad, I reckon he’s went to the board (fan ownership) and told there is no magic budget for him to buy his way out of it, so jumped ship. Surely the captain of the ship (if he had the qualities) would have stayed to steady said ship. He was fortunate to have some good youth in the ranks when he came on board and was forced to play them so they could be sold to clear the interest free debts. Lasley will likely get the job and if he manages likes he plays, it could be not good for Motherwell. People will then point to Robinson and the good job he did for 3/4 of one season. That’s not the full story though Link to comment

That’s not the full story though No it doesn't tell the whole story. He also got to two cup finals. Turned the club's finances around through performances on the pitch and the development and sale of young players. His chairman said today that he met or exceeded every target set during his time there an lauded his approach to team and young player development. He's also got a 50/50 record against us and we have every advantage over them. You've got this one wrong. He did a decent job there. 1 Link to comment

strachanmcgheegoal Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Always nervous of relatively short lived managers who claim, or at least have attributed to them, development and onward sale of youth. That works both ways of course (looking at you Derek). 2 Link to comment

McGhee gave Campbell and Hastie their debuts yet you want to credit the development of youth to Robinson. I’m not sure I’d credit either to be honest, but the point stands that Robinson benefitted in timing of these youth players coming through and helping clear the debts Link to comment

Lucky to have the young players when he arrived Lucky to clear the debts Lucky to get to 2 Cup finals thumping Aberdeen in the process Lucky to qualify for Europe Even his chairman has said he did a good job.

Successful over 3/4 of a season, shit for 2 1/4 seasons Lucky to qualify for Europe - same as above, good results for 3/4 of a season Even his chairman has said he did a good job. - yeah, chairman hardly likely to shit on an outgoing manager No Motherwell fans chasing him out the door. - not yet anyway (maybe), but failed to turn it around this year But you'll be right. - often, but not always, it’s just opinions man See above Link to comment

Kids don't get handed over to first team managers as finished articles. Folk can't give McInnes a hard time for allegedly not developing youth players and then give another manager a hard time for doing exactly that. Link to comment
