In Who’da Thunk It? news, Bryan “Midas Touch” Robson has been “relieved of first-team duties” (ie sidelined because he’s too expensive to sack) a whole nine months after becoming Sheffield United manager.
I hate to say I told you so but, er, I told you so. (Terry Robinson’s expression last May was as accurate as it was grim after all.)
To update Robson’s managerial stats, Robson’s win percentage during his brief spell at Bramall Lane was just 28%.
He won but one of his final nine matches in charge and his team – a Premiership outfit until the week before he was appointed – lie in 16th place in the Championship, just seven points above the relegation zone.
Sad. But no more than Kevin “It was harder to find anyone better than Bryan” McCabe deserves after making the most stupid managerial appointment of 2007.
