From the outside anyway, Barry Robson certainly ticks all the boxes for becoming a succesfull manager.

When interviewed on that Si Ferry podcast thing, said he had the chance of becoming Raith Rovers manager a few years back but he decided to go down the different route of learning his apprenticeship, so to speak, under McInnes, whilst studing for his Pro Licence.

You'd imagine that he'd now be looking to break out on his own at the likes of Raith, or a decent championship side, and there will no doubts be SPL teams who will also look his way thereafter, or even now.

Whether or not he has been told to hing aboot here for the time being, just in case, who knows......
