Not too difficult to imagine. Let's examine the evidence: - Papers say we have offered 'the job' to Kidd - We know we are speaking to Robbins - Rowing suggested a coach / director of football type set-up - An experienced top-flight coach would be an ideal mentor for a promising young manager - Cryne is a closet Man Utd fan... If it is Robbins, I'd feel a bit more comfortable with someone experienced along side him.
Said something about the new manager being in charge of team affairs only - new signings would be managed at a higher level. No-one currently at the club would have a clue about scouting and signing players, so suggests another appointment.
You never know, but lots of successful clubs have a management team rather than one bloke that does it all. Was Kidd at Man Utd as far back as when Bobbins was there? They could already be mates. Bobbins still only looks about 14 though - maybe father & son relationship.
