Is that the guy who played for Charlton?

Who is he now he is no longer Mark Robson then?

[Tokyo Sexwhale]

Never heard of him, but according to wiki, he managed Barnet for 13 games - W 0 D 3 L 10!

And he didn't last long as Norwich assistant - June to November 2014!

Bleeding hell, he doesn't stay at places long does he

[Salsa Party Animal]

don't want any more staff from Norwich thanks.

Looks like some kind of falling out at Norwich. Had something to do with England u17 too, so may be recruited for knowledge of youth football

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Seems he may have had a bit of a falling out with Adams at Norwich.

That would make more sense. He's certainly not the man I've imagined we'd bring in as First Team Coach.

He's ok, he's done a stint a couple of times at Exeter City. My four kids were born in Exeter. Cracking city. He must be alright!

[ozzjim]

Seems still a number 2 to arrive. This guy seems to not stay long at places so may be a short term measure until Ramsey is either free or not.

Asked my friend, a Norwich fan if Robson was any good. His reply:

Terrible. Sorry. We sacked him after an appalling run and some adverse reaction to poor training. Adams followed shortly after but we were/are better without him.
Phelan replaced him, that's the type of person you need. The difference was immediate.

[kippaxvilla2]

I'm getting a bad feeling and I don't know why.

[Ron Manager]

His CV isn't too encouraging is it? Still give him a chance, you never know.

[ozzjim]

We don't know what capacity he is here in either. I would hope the assistant appointment will be the main brains behind the coaching. And this guy may only be a stop gap.
