Should we be worried about an approach for Simo? 😂 Or will there be a John Hughes CV already in the post to Kirkcaldy? 🤔

Having not really watched Raith so commenting blind really but the fact they are a point outside the play offs makes it seem a bit crazy.

Their form hasn't been great recently so they must have had zero faith in the management being able to turn it around at all!

In our games against Raith this season Robson has just come across as the absolute worst kind of manager. Constantly moaning about something, always blaming someone else, never giving anyone else any credit. If he was getting results then you maybe overlook those things but his Raith team just looks very, very average to me. And adding Andy Kirk into the mix always seemed like an odd decision from the start. Very, very glad we no longer have those kinds of characters coaching our team.

I can see Calum Davidson going there!  He must be getting cheesed off driving up and down to Dingwall.

Raith fans have had rumours that Robson is totally ignorant to anyone outside the playing staff. Apparently completely blanks most other staff around the place.

His record at signing players at Aberdeen was very good, awful football manger though.

Fans not happy so Board listened.

I'm going to miss Simo smirking while Barry absolutely loses his shit over referee/linesman/4th official/ball boy/tannoy announcer/tea lady decisions.

Was Robson not interviewed by us when Levein went? Or am I misremembering that?

I do remember some people thought he'd be a good idea.

Peter Leven from Aberdeen made the list I think 🤔 not Robson.

Yeah, I remember him being interviewed.

Maybe Robson's name was being mentioned and that was all.

You might’ve been confused with me on the old dogger podcast saying I’d have approached him after Davidson left. Was doing a blinding job at Aberdeen then and had no sign of a permanent offer. 
 

Just as well no **** listens to me! 😂
