Midsblue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) What negativity? There's the Kelly tag but Robbo has loads more experience than Kelly and I'm really pumped up now. Negativity is against the board taken their time but if we had to wait for Robbo to return from coaching for Northern Ireland at Euro2016 (read that and digest) then I understand why and perhaps a better option now than Evans. Just the recruitment now because of the timescales with only 4 weeks until kick off....Dummigan and Lafferty for me, Hughes at the back and we've almost got a NI back four. Midfield will be key and the flanks. Exciting time now with Robbo impressing himself on mass recruitment Edited July 9, 2016 by Midsblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 AT LAST!!! Well, at least this soap opera helped me get through the dreaded close season. Could be a very good appointment. He might only stay a couple of years, but it could help finally turn us around (perhaps, maybe, a bit, possibly make tenth - i'm not being negative, i just don't want to jinx it). Good luck Robbo.

oldman Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Spot-on, Mids. I am so relieved that Evans rejected the club's offer. Bring on the new you talk of Hughes as a saviour but he only played once for Motherwell last season and 10 for Brighton the previous season. So why was he not playing if he is our saviour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why was he not playing if he is our saviour I didn't call Hughes a saviour?! I only mentioned Hughes because people suggested we were signing him. Looking forward to Robinson though. He's getting a lot of best wishes from the footballing community so seems well liked and highly respected as an up and coming coach/manager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tGWB Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Really had my Club loyalty tested these last few months with everything that's going on, particularly with the shock (to me) departure of Sheridan after he saved us from the drop Got to the stage of deciding to pick my games that I thought worth attending both at Home & Away Cant explain how "f in brilliant" it feels this morning with the new Manager appointment Try as a might to kid myself I don't care anymore, OAFC in whatever guise is simply in my DNA "We get knocked down But We get up again You're never gonna keep us down" Smiling again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 So who do we think for a 1pm signing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I'm happy with this appointment although I just hope we don't invest to much faith in him. While a first team manager is key in any club? If we fail it won't solely be down to him and if we succeed it won't solely be down to him. If/when he leaves I hope lessons are learned and any foundations he lays are built on. Football must be one of if not the only business that puts so much faith in a middle manager to transform it's fortunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 You'd expect us to sign some non Motherwell players with Turnbull and O'Driscoll on board If anything I'd have thought they'd have already lined up some players given they've been here a week. Maybe Robinson rejected them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
