Recognised the name and he to look him up.
Totally forgot he played under Moyes at Everton.
It will be interesting to see how much influence he has.

On the face of it a cracking appointment, ex Ajax manager and well like by Kudus, or so I read.
Now let the negativity begin..

The Ajax geezer? That's a come down for him but an interesting appointment.

Hopefully a decent appointment. I was a little surprised, but then I saw the link with Moyes and him at Everton.
I wonder if there's any plans to play in white and red next season?

Good appointment and a massive upgrade from Mark fucking Warbuton.Didn’t he nearly sign for us when he was playing.

Hmmm a Tim Steidten appointment maybe???? - I know he worked under Moyes but who actually identified him and got him to sign?
Could this be with a view to a future management role?

Think you're reading a bit too much into that, BJB.
A Moyes appointment because they've worked together previously, I reckon.

Mark Robson's also been promoted from the U21s, plus another bloke Henry Newman who previously worked on opposition analysis and match preparation.
Heitinga got given a poisoned chalice when he got promoted to head coach at Ajax. Apparently he didn't want the job in the first place, saying he wasn't ready for it, and he had to be persuaded to take it. He took them from 5th place in January to finish 3rd but that wasn't enough to keep the job, so he was bound to have to leave the club. Not sure if he's even interested in a future career in management. I don't think he likes the media side of things particularly. So maybe asst. manager is the level he wants to stay at.

Seeing as they ripped off the West Ham way it's only fair we get their players and ex coaching staff......

Played under Moyes at Everton. Apparently, we agreed a fee to buy him in 2014 but he turned us down.

I’m with BJB and think this is our future manager, the way to go with a conveyor belt for future appointments, also something to look forward to as being ex Ajax his style of football will be rather different to Moyes.

Mark Robson Promoted for making the U21's play worse and lose. Couldn't work how to use the youth Cup Winners. Now he's left they've won 4 out 4. Attacking football returned.
This makes sense to join up with Moyes as he won't know how to use them either.

Perhaps. But don't forget that we had Mark Warburton last season and he'd been a manager recently too. Nolan's managed more games than you'd think as well.

Mark Robson was in charge for one game for the U23’s this season, and you’ve based your judgement on that one game?

Re: Mark Robson Off To Wolves
Fair play to Mark, done a good job
Doubtless soon to followed by some of the promising youth that he will know well and they will know never get a crack under Moyes
The exodus must surely ring bells somewhere?

Duke.
No you pratt.
I've based it on the 5 games they have played.
Winning 4 and playing well.
4 without Robson.
He was out of his depth last year.

What does anyone really know about this bloke? Good with Ajax? What was he doing at Everton cleaning Moyes skidmarks in the khazi? Let's hope he doesn't forget to bring his Ajax with him if he's going to do similar here.
