Heck , even Ferguson took Jock Stein as his advisor for Gothenburg ?
We've had it before. Keith Burkinshaw , Craig Brown . We need a wise old Director of foottball

We're 10th in as piss poor a league as I can remember for some time.
Our style of play is horrendous for the most part, can we agree on that? He is playing players that have needed benched for some time (Duk). He has been given the biggest transfer kitty most likely of all time for an AFC manager and the new recruits are mostly either on the bench or not even in the squad.
He has spoken at length about the amount of games we're playing and tiredness/fatigue being an issue and then plays the same 13/14 players week in week out. Finally after Sundays game has he admitted his mistakes with this but it shouldn't take 21 games as a full time manager to notice this was a major issue.
Like every AFC supporter I only wish the best for the team and to see improvements married with desire/hunger etc but sadly we go through the motions of hoofball most games and our "star" player Clarkson can't even get into the starting 11 as we bypass him most games with long balls.
Please can someone show me the progress Robson has made to convince me that he is worthy of more time, I'd love to get a reasoned reply that could sway me the other way but as the matches roll on then if anything the Robson must stay supporters numbers dwindle.
I agree with Zakk. I like Robson, but he's not showing anything near having the managerial quality required to manage AFC. I'd love to be proven wrong but can't see it happening. He quite clearly lacks any sort of plan B. Be as well leave the game or switch off after we concede first and it's felt like that for a long time under him.
If he doesn’t start winning games soon then I would think he will get fired.
The football is shyte to watch but when has it ever been good to watch?
It’s all about winning games which he isn’t doing so he should be under pressure.
I wouldnt say that the signings are all down to him.I highly doubt he had even heard of half of the players we signed until he was shown a YouTube video of them in the summer.
The last time we won a game in the league after conceding first was in March 2022 in a 3-1 win against Hibs.Quote:

How soon is "soon" in your opinion? After Motherwell? The Cup Semi? Just curious how much longer you personally feels he's due.Quote:

Very true he should be under pressure for not winning games and he should've been under pressure before this point in time, again though if it was merely only winning games he was failing at then more fans would cut him slack but you throw everything else into the mix, hoofball football, no rotation, baffling substitutions etc then that pressure should be intensified.
Obviously he hadn't heard of some of the players before someone at AFC showed them their respective videos/stats etc but you're saying that Robson hasn't had the final yes/no on signing them? Is that rumours or facts? Goodwin if I remember correctly came out and said he had final say on any incomings so what's to suggest that Robson hasn't been given the same veto?
"The rot set in a long time before Robson took over." is a true statement of fact but another fact is that with everything Robson has been given that previous managers haven't, he still hasn't been able to reverse it. Another failing on his part in my opinion.
What’s Robson been given that other managers haven’t?Quote:

Any other nonsensical questions?
