Robson Gone

gimmick

Small surprise really. Bryan Robson has left WBA by 'mutual consent'. Which is code for "He is sacked".

Interesting to see who comes in for this job. WBA have a decent enough squad, and should be there or there abouts come the end of the season.

How is young McShane getting on?

Last time I looked they were 4 or 5th in the table so its a bit sudden.

Mike.

Hes disappointed as a manager imho, even at Boro when he had cash to spend they were very unpredictable and eventually ran out of steam

A bit of a Souness / O'Leary type manager

SAVAGE player though

It came as a surprise to me. I personally saw West Brom doing very well under Robbo. There must have been something else to it than what meets the eye. I'm not convinced. Best of luck to him in the future, I suppose.

There were rumors that the chairman was trying to bring in a director of football which unsettled Robbo.
If it's true, then it's certainly not the first case. Santini at Spurs (well, if Arneson's presence was in fact the reason he left) and Redknapp leaving Pompey when Mandaric brought in that Zayec chap.

The chairman at West Brom is a bit funny anyway isn't he. The way he fell out with Gary Megson was a bit strange.

But then again Robson is no Alex Ferguson so wasn't surprised by this at all.

He need help to keep Middlesboro in the Prem by Terry Venebles and struggled with that team even though he had money to burn. I know he got to 2 or 3 cup finals but its the league that counts and where the money comes from.

And as the chairman said yesterday he only won 19 of 81 games in charge so that doesn't make good reading.

I was surprised at this coz although we r 9th we r only 5points behind the leaders. Then again we have only won 19games out of 81 under his reign. He wasnt allowed spend money in janruary which screwed up our premiership campaign but he got a few good players (im delighted to c an irish player on the team-McShane) now i wont be boo-ed for waving an irish flag at the matches

:eek: Mother of Christ, we're all doomed. Doomed I tell thee, doomed. I hope you get booed, non-stop, and that they haunt you while you sleep!

Curbishley? If he doesn't go to Leeds?
