    Are we still paying him? If we are (why?), can't we just cancel his contract?

    I follow him on Instragram, and there's no posts of support from him about Bradford City. When we win on a Saturday, he just posts pictures of "his bro's" - mates who have scored in the league for other clubs, and no mention of us at all.
    Seems to spend half his time in London with his "crew" and the other half dancing it up in Ibiza. I presume he must be getting a paypacket from us to finance this lifestyle.

    Total waste of a wage, and tbh, a waste of his career. Whatever issue Bradford City have with him, then it's got to be best for for everyone all round if we cancel his contract, and he can look for another club (down South, or San Antonio FC).

    If we cancel his contract we would have to do so by agreement with him which would mean paying him off. We are currently do that so we wouldn’t be any better off. The only plus point is currently if he is cleared he will be back

    Just another of Rahic’s scrotes. Hope his career (if he’s still got one) goes down the shitter with the rest of them.

    I take it you have unfollowed him now as he has upset you so much.

    Strong words!

    He’s a massive talent - and was actually an Abbott signing.

    Robinson? Saw glimpses of talent but not really sure what he was good at. Not skilful enough for a winger, maybe a better mans Connor Wood at best.

    Because we have little else. If you’re thinking an available Robinson makes any difference to this team then i disagree. Average league 2 player.

    Both central midfielders. How does an available Robinson improve that?

    He would bring some much needed pace to the team. We are sadly lacking in that department and in this league would play a big part in putting the opposition on the defensive rather than like saturday letting them have the initiative.

    Where have I stated I’m upset? Just asking if we’re paying him, and if we are, seems to a bit of a waste.
    I follow all sorts of w@nkers on Instagram. What’s your account name? ;)

    I liked Robinson who had pace and an eye for a goal. But if he has any sense he should have kept his head down phoned Bowyer to let him no how much he wanted to come back and make up for his time lost Instead of visiting just about every nightclub there is. Very disappointing

    Its not just about saving money, but saving his career. If the problem is JUST with Bradford City, then surely we can come to some agreement to release him from his contract, and he can go and get football somewhere else.
    All is a bit weird if you ask me. IF one of the guys that work for me got into some sort of trouble with the law, then I am not sure I would be entirely happy paying them for doing NOTHING for the best part of two years. I think I'd be looking at a way to stop wasting money and get them off my books.

    You probably would and I’m sure the club have also looked into it but as footballers are treated as protected species by the FA and the league our hands will be tied. If he thought, or his agent, he could get a game elsewhere I’m sure they would have put a suggestion to the club. As he is still here I’m guessing that isn’t the case
