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......

Barry - "HOPEFULLY we'll be third again" - Robson?

I could easy see someone with that level of ambition & motivation to succeed being asked to hang around.

Milne would be delighted with another low expectation levels manager demanding nothing but endless mediocrity...

I think there's a pretty good chance Sheerin and Robson will get the gig when McInnes leaves. I think that's one of the main reasons they're still here as I'm sure they'll both have had other offers. The obvious scenario would be - McInnes and Doc leave... Sheerin and Robson in on temporary basis... they get an immediate reaction with some decent results and are handed the job permanently. Cheap option - known quantity - safe - boring - tow the line - ticking all the boxes for the board - especially with a stadium to pay for.

Also - on Si Ferry thing, all Robson was interested in was going on about Rangers. It put me off the guy quite a bit - strikes me as the kind of guy who would be a bit of a nob to work with.
