JOHN ROBERTSON?

[Guest GARETHM]

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??

[KingBeastie]

No

[mikeyrob73]

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

[Guest GARETHM]

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!!

[Pele_Is_God]

No way!

[4ize]

Better him than Brew  :017:

[Yngwie]

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

[Guest GARETHM]

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

[4ize]

plus his wife hasnt moved over

sounds like a bonus to me  :015:

[CaleyD]

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

[clacher_holiday2]

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

[mainstander]

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.

[Johnboy]

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:

[Mee]

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

[Johnboy]

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

[CaleyD]

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:

[Kingsmills]

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.

[Kingsmills]

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

[Alex MacLeod]

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.

[Kingsmills]

I suspect that any compensation due would be fairly modest.

[Scotty]

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."

[CELTIC1CALEY3]

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