Has Paul Robinson now left Burnley

[claretdom]

They would be too big for him , Leeds PJ's are massive

That maybe down to leeds fans sleeping with inflatable european cups down their pjs

[randomclaret2]

As the old saying goes " are you pleased to see me, or is that an inflatable European Cup down your PJs ? "

If we are looking for alike for like replacement Shay Given is looking for a club. Well past his best but huge amounts of experience.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

It's a no from me. Robinsons performance at Swansea set the tone for Burnley that day and you could put two, possibly three goals down to him. It genuinely looked as though the spring/bounce had gone from his legs. A good signing for a team in a lower division but not for us

[quote="leem5ki"]Sorry if I've missed it, I know we had offered Paul Robinson a contract for the upcoming season but have yet heard nothing regarding him actually signing the offered contract.


I HOPE SO
Gone be gone useless fat boy

[Wokingclaret]

we are now linked with Shay Given

[tim_noone]

Is he Irish ?

[Lancasterclaret]

Announced his retirement, so guessing thats it!

[JohnMac]

Best wishes in his retirement, he was there if we needed him and was a top keeper in his day.

[UpTheBeehole]

Scored more goals in his career than some outfield players do

Robinson's full retirement statement

"Unfortunately my back problem returned towards the end of last season and has prevented me being ready for the start of the new season. Taking everything into consideration I've decided to announce my retirement.

"I have been very fortunate to play the game I love for so many years and make it my career.

I intend to take a short time out to spend time with my family and explore the different options available to me.

"I would like to sincerely thank all my family and friends who have stood by me throughout my playing career.

"I have been very lucky to play for four very special football clubs and my country, I would like to say a huge thank you to the supporters and staff of every one as I was able to build a very special relationship with each.

"I would like to say thank you to Sean Dyche, Billy Mercer, the staff and players at Burnley who gave me the chance to play in the premier league again at 37 years old.

"In all my career I have never been a part of a more dedicated, hard working set of players and staff.

"I wish them and all my former clubs the very best of luck for next season."

[Paul Waine]

Sorry if I've missed it, I know we had offered Paul Robinson a contract for the upcoming season but have yet heard nothing regarding him actually signing the offered contract.

As he left the club, am I right to presume he won't have returned for pre-season.

Hi leem5ki, can you edit the subject to "Paul Robinson announces retirement" or similar.... Better that than starting a new thread.

Your question has now been answered.

Great retirement statement:

"I would like to say thank you to Sean Dyche, Billy Mercer, the staff and players at Burnley who gave me the chance to play in the premier league again at 37 years old.

"In all my career I have never been a part of a more dedicated, hard working set of players and staff.
