Apologies that this thread is a bit late. We've come up against some pretty clueless managers this year, the MK Dons one stands out. But this twit really does get on my nerves. At the Brentford away game (in which we won 2-0); "What separated these two teams was they had a striker up front who cost one million pounds and will probably score 30 goals...Obviously, if we had a million pounds for a striker we would be in the market for one." - In reference to Bradley Wright-Phillips who reportedly costed between £100-300k. At home (in which we won 2-0); "Today we were the better team for long spells...This is a clear penalty for us and basically, it cost us the game...That would have been the equaliser and I think it would have been a fair result" - In reference to his side who only managed a single shot on target, and a penalty which would definately have been scored without a single doubt, because there's no such possibility as a player missing a penalty or one being saved. For those who may suggest its part of a 'language barrier' or that he struggles with the English language, he spent 4 years with Manchester City in the late nineties, 2 years with Southampton in the noughties, and has been managing Brentford for over 6 months.
They are young managers and haven't learned to take the rough with the smooth and keep their mouths shut. (Mind you, some veteran managers are as bad). But I wouldn't describe either as clueless. They have both built teams that are greater than the sum of their parts. One of Robinson's best signings was Charlie MacDonald whom we rejected about ninety years ago as too short, fat and slow. We have had about thirty worse strikers since.
Exactly the same as when Fergie,Wenger,Warnock etc all cant see obvious pens given against their side.
Childish reaction these type of statements, as i said with the Dons boss after comments - 'grace', or lack thereof.
