[HatfulofHollow]

Well that is ambitious

 

[TangerineDan]

Very ambitious!

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

If SS's plans for the future have any truth to them, then Robinson could well be willing to leave Oxford to be part of them.

Surely no one could be anything other than delighted with his appointment, a true signal of intent.

 

[Steve Birch]

That would be one hell of a coup!

 

[Matesrates]

Fingers crossed

 

[Lala]

Certainly my favourite of all those suggested. Ambitious and not predictable. What’s not to like.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Hope this approach is based on indications that Robinson is interested, rather than being speculative (a la Karl...)

We all know what happened last time ...

 

[jack_bfc]

Just heard it discussed on SSN - suprised!!!

 

[fcblackpool]

Look, i'd be happy if he came, but he isn't going to. Don't get your hopes up.

 

[SuperTonyEllis]

Would be very happy if we appointed Karl Robinson. I am pretty happy we are showing signs of intent. Something I am not used t9 having ever only knowing an Oyston Ownership until now

I think you're probably right. It depends what Blackpool are offering I guess, no harm in talking to us.

 

[Cleveleys boy]

This would be a great appointment!!

 

[SeasideKurt]

Yeah I'd be happy with that, I saw him at Wycombe.

 

[Levi501]

I’d be happy to see him as our new manager,hopefully he’ll see we’re now an ambitious club on the move.Still think Oxford have played the best football I’ve seen this season,and we were very fortunate to get the win against them.Fingers crossed.

 

[NewburyOne]

My only concern is if his agent is playing us to get a better contract at Oxford. If we have asked it is highly likely we will have been given some form of indication he would be interested.

 

[Tangerine Manc]

would he leave oxford now , especially they got a chance of the playoffs still
unless as being a scouser / northern he is home sick

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Depends if he's thinking long term I suppose.

 

[clappers]

Over the moon we are trying to get him. Would be a seismic appointment.

 

[Hadley]

Very ambitious by the board. Fair play.

 

[The Catcher in the Rye]

Gets my

 

[DreadPool]

Look, i'd be happy if he came, but he isn't going to. Don't get your hopes up.

You might be very surprised

 

[Macseasider]

Radio Lancs just reported that the U's have denied any approach by Blackpool.

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Radio Lancs just reported that the U's have denied any approach by Blackpool.

Which makes sense. If nothing comes of the approach, then the official line was it never happened.

 

[Matesrates]

Radio Lancs just reported that the U's have denied any approach by Blackpool.

Might unsettle KR though, he might hopefully demand to speak to us. Let’s face it, if someone wants to change jobs, there’s nothing much you can do.

 

[Plumbs]

Brilliant stuff but dont anyone you'll have to merge with someone in an MKD stylee.

Edit:oops too late! Happened in 1901

 

[SadlerArmy1999]

Come on Sadler make him an offer he can't refuse would be a great appointment shows the ambition we have now

 

[Raging_Bull]

Look, i'd be happy if he came, but he isn't going to. Don't get your hopes up.

How would you know? Unless your a close pal "but he isn't going to" means jack sh!t pal.

 

[xows]

It’s a from me

 

[briar]

Over the moon we are trying to get him. Would be a seismic appointment.

8/11 favourite with sky bet

I’d be over the moon if the board could pull this off,reading Oxfords forum it seems he’s not a happy bunny at the minute.

Hang on, in another story Oxford denied there had been any approach

If Robinson makes his mind up he wants to come here, he'll quit and Sadler will pay compensation.

Happens all the time, his contract won't be worth the paper it's written on in regard to it stopping him taking another job.

 

[King Billy]

Just reading Oxford forum. Their fans saying his post match interview he didn’t seem happy and sounds as if he wants to talk to us.

 

[TwelveAngryMen]

Heard about this last Saturday
Understand he’s possibly looking for a move back to the NW - he’s a scouser
Would be an ambitious appointment

Link ?

 

[King Billy]

Link ?

One person saying he said he wants to talk to us.

go to page 15 onwards

Current Staff - Karl Robinson - Will he walk

Genuine question, he sounded totally fed up yesterday and if he isn’t backed then who can blame him, I think people forget we’re not in the conference or league 2 anymore, he does need to be backed, we have the best chance in years to get promoted, discuss.

[hertfordseasider]

He would be a great manager for us, he may also really like the look of the future. He's not a quitter, he was at MK Dons for a long time. He hopefully sees this as a way to the PL in time?

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Anyone know a link to the interview they're talking about?

 

[onlyonepool]

Come on SS make this happen.

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

 

[BlackpoolsFinest]

Looking at this from another angle:

Remember how quickly Jones was named favourite..... and then look what happened.

Try not to get too excited, just yet.

 

[hertfordseasider]

I have a sneaky that this is going to go our way and that would be a real message of intent from SS.

Oh aye, because clubs always publicly welcome approaches for their manager.

 

[NewburyOne]

He is quoted as saying he would have wanted to hear if there was an approach and to know what Oxfords board have planned. There is mileage in this..

 

[This is Ska]

This appointment would ignite the whole place. If he can see real intent and potential, and he likes the the salary, location, and has backing, he will want to give us serious consideration.

 

[clappers]

Oxford fan calls Blackpool a terrible club! It’s a strange world we live in!
