Karl Robinson, god help Leeds. He’s useless. At Oxford he got us to the Playoff final which we lost to Wycombe. Wycombe, who hoofed it up to Akinfenwa and did sod all else.
The next season we lost in the Playoff semi final, well thrashed by Blackpool. The following season 8th and this year he was sacked after what he called a run of bad luck. One (1) point from 27.
He’d had a top six budget and failed to fill the squad, gave a 2 year contract to Sam Baldock, who has played about 180 minutes all season. Bought in Josh Murphy who played about 90 minutes all season on £7.5k a week.
When he lost the dressing room, he sent our main striker out on loan on transfer deadline day, failing to replace him with a known goal scorer.
Every transfer window he comes out with “We’ll do our business early” but it’s always last minute.com so we ended up with sloppy seconds.
His marriage is over, apparently screwing one of the ladies team.
He post match interviews were comical. We’d play like a sunday league side and he’d say it was like watching Brazil. He’d constantly blame the ref, linesman, fourth official, tea lady, anyone but accept he’d screwed up. It’s like listening to a whining, whinging, deluded child, but in a scouce accent.
Liam Manning came in and brought professionalism, calmness and structure and thanks to him we’ve avoided relegation
.
If you have Robinson as a no. 2, look forward to Championship football.
I hope he’s not appointed for your sakes. Good luck.
