As a concerned Derry City Fan,with john robertson as our current manager,what is the general view in scotland about him taking over the helm with yourselves??

is their a serious chance of him leaving us for home??

No

:015: :015: :015: i seriously hope not !! you can keep him

from what he has done with us so far in his short spell it has been very good!!!

word here is that he is a cert for the managers job!!

No way!

Better him than Brew  :017:

Depending on who you speak to and which papers you read, there are about 5 dead certs for the job!

he signed for us on the 6th july,and has done a lot for us,,got rid of dead wood etc..

we are concerned because he has stated that he would love a job back home plus his wife hasnt moved over

plus his wife hasnt moved over

sounds like a bonus to me  :015:

Wife??? - Better not tell his fiance about the that  :015:

id like to see robbo do well for himself wherever he ends up

we are concerned because he has stated that he would love a job back home

So Robbo's diplamatic skills dont seem to have improved then. He goes to a new post in Ireland and immediatly tells everybody that he wants a job back home.

He expressed interest in the Caley job last time it came up... David Sutherland said "No Way" at that time...

I don't think much has changed since then - strange that - considering he and Brew left under almost identical circumstances....  :024:

He got married the other week there, to his fiance strangely enough

I dont want to see him back BUT I would have him above Pele and miles and miles above Brew

I could be wrong, Mee - but I've got a wee sneaky suspicion you're not all that keen on Brew....  :023:

Thanks Mee - The secret to a long marriage....tie the knot then feck off to another country...like his style  :015:

I lmow Robbo and Sutherland had words at the time of his departure, more of a personality clash than anything else I believe.  With them not having to work together since Sutherland moved on then I think the rest of the Board may not be so quick to dismiss his return.

knew I did it the wrong way round !!!  :rotflmao:

I'd far rather have John Robertson back than Craig Brewster but doubt very much whether we will turn to either of them in our search for a new manager.

Seems like no more than uninformed speculation filling space in a local paper.

I would imagine Derry would want compensated if he was to come and I doubt Sutherland, as a major shareholder, would sanction such a payment.

I suspect that any compensation due would be fairly modest.

Interesting to see "a club of our size" get commented on as a bigger club !!

"There was speculation that Robertson, who’s helped turn Derry’s fortunes around in the past seven weeks, has a get-out clause in his contract allowing him to leave for a bigger club."

Robbo has been speaking to Grassa recently trying to do a deal on a centre half!!!
