I am not surprised by it, but do think it is a very unreasonable decision. Anybody would look at his record there and say it nothing other than very good.
There were some real challenges over the summer. I actually thought Robins might walk at one point. They changed the backroom operation, and I dont think it was with Robins full blessing. He has shown an awful lot of loyalty to them at times, and maybe in the summer a bit too much. I dont think this will damage his reputation at all inside the game. I think he will be patient now and wait for the right sort of opportunity. He will want a club who commit to a long term plan, not a **** or bust one. It may well be the summer before he comes back into the game and I suspect he will be interviewing any owners as much as they interview him. Good luck to him, one of my favourite coaches in the modern game.
