Breaking News Under 21's manager Dave Robertson quits to go to Sligo Rovers

[manor15]

May have been offered a better job elsewhere or just decided he wants a crack at being a club manager after his taste at Peterborough? Or a falling out after Brown criticised their performance in the Essex Senior Cup?

Who knows but this under 21s team is having a very rough ride since it has started.

 

[Jim Levenstein]

Now manager of Sligo Rovers

Indeed Jim, good spot.

 

[Mick]

Now manager of Sligo Rovers

Ah ... the club that gave us Kevin Fallon !

 

[Crawliano]

Well at least this now gives the Jason Williams fan club another reason why he didn't score 29 goals the other night.

His manager's heart wasn't in it.

 

[Liam AAS]

I'm seriously surprised that an ex-Royal Marine is going to work in Sligo considering he did two tours in Northern Ireland.

 

[David Icke]

Perhaps he was turned long ago by the IRA and this is his belated reward.

Sligo was in the Republic last time I looked.

Anyway It's translation from the original Irish means "abounding with shells" . That should work for a military man!

After the under 21 debacle against Redbridge, it seems no great loss. Those players didn't seem to be playing for their manager. Time for Kevin Maher to get his chance.

Looks like Kevin Maher is now favourite for the job, good luck King Kev.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Jumped before he was pushed I think.

Indeed, always thought Robertson was an odd choice for the job, and perfect time to remind everyone that Kevin is actually our Guest of the Night at the Trust AGM on 30th November. :winking:

Absolutely, was well documented that the players at Peterborough didn't like him although there were also reports to the contrary, i'm in the no smoke without fire camp, good riddance, time for King Kev to step up.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Give it to King Kev...bloody him with the youths so he can take over from PB when he walks/is fired.

Indeed - because everyone in the Irish Republic is stoutly catholic, entirely republican and still living in the 19th century

FFS?

I think the original poster may have been referring to the fact that ex-military who served there are still seen by some dinosaurs in Northern Ireland as legitimate targets.

 

[Kevin Hogg]

But Sligo Rovers are in the Republic of Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[migraineboy]

With the departure of Robertson and the reported disgraceful performance on Tuesday, the U21 has had more coverage this week than at any time so far this season :smile:
