QuoteWas he sacked or "mutually consented"Any compo due to him ?
Finally, now hopefully we get Kenny back.
Was he sacked or "mutually consented"
Out for a spell, got neglected, lay on the bench unselected.

Statement from the board
DCFC - Board Statement
John Roberston
Tuesday 11 December 2007
The Board of Derry City FC have released John Roberston from his contract with the club with immediate effect.
Unfortunately Mr Roberston, in the view of the Board, has not been and will not be able to fulfill the terms of his contract and the club are now actively seeking a new manager.
Matthews perhaps?
Ever get the feelin' you have been cheated?
He never seemed fully commited to the job in my opinion and no doubt was trying to do something with Derry in order to get a move back across to Scotland where he can go down in history as one of the all-time greats while managing the likes of someone like Dundee or Motherwell.
So, who wanted Conor Sammon?
Hopefully his less than glorious tenure at Derry City will count against him in Scotland
Me and anyone else who watched him play against Derry at the Brandywell.So, who wanted Conor Sammon?
City are going to have four managers in two years ? Just as well your fans are more patient and forgiving of managers than we are in Dalymount, otherwise you just might get some negative press coverage on this.
To be honest Kenny walked as did Fenlon. Robertson started off well but let himself down being awol on a number of occaisions. The board had no choice but to let him go.
Lessons to be learned here in that we need someone local, someone who hates travelling ,especially on aeroplanes?
As Irishmen we dilute our sense of nation by depending on the English to bring us our balls

Maybe we could start by not employing a pixie, poisoned dwarf or someone generally slight in stature this time around.
An adult sized manager is all I want for Christmas.
Robertson never took the job seriously from the start, as anyone who travelled on the trip to Armenia can attest.
Kenny left on good terms , returned for the cup-final , and left the door open for a return if things did'nt work out in Scotland.
The only thing I would say is, their are very few players/managers who have been a success the 2nd time round. Although their are exceptions

Go on......... spill the beans.
He told me the league of Ireland was no better than the Highland League one night in Dodds. Classy guy.

Agree, backwards moves never a good idea for either party.
It will be between Cook, Richardson, Healy or Matthews! You heard It hear first! Waiting for the Sligo response.
