3 Mark Robinson replacements AFC Wimbledon should consider ASAP

After a torrid run of games that have seen AFC Wimbledon not win a match since December last year, Mark Robinson has today been relieved of his duties as manager at the club.

The loss to Cambridge at the weekend was the final straw and with the side now sat in the relegation places in League One, they’ll be hoping it isn’t too little too late in terms of bringing in a fresh face and staying up in the third tier.

Robinson has been in charge at the Dons for over a year now, having first been handed the job back in February last year. After a start to the campaign which saw a few wins and relatively mixed fortunes, things have nosedived since. Their last three points came against Accrington on December 7th and although they have drawn games and picked up points since, it hasn’t been enough.

Now, Wimbledon are on the lookout for a new manager to come in and replace Robinson – and here are three potential replacements.

Alan Pardew

You’d have to think his name will be linked with the job again, having been one of the favourites to take over when Mark Robinson was installed as boss.

Whether he would leave his role as an advisor at CSKA Sofia is unclear but he’s previously shown interest in coming back into the management game and based on his experience higher up the pyramid, he could certainly get some results out of this current Dons team. He’s had success in the Premier League and he would surely be respected by the players considering his previous achievements in the game.

Whether he still has the same touch, again, is unclear having been out of management for a little while now. However, his credentials are clear and with the job available again it wouldn’t be a surprise to potentially see him installed as boss this time
