Monday.Oldham boss Stephen Robinson wants to instil the traits he saw in
Northern Ireland at his new club and his quest will be helped if he can land
103-cap international Aaron Hughes. Northern Irishman Robinson, 41, vacated his
position as part of his countrys coaching set-up and his role as Motherwells
number two at the weekend to take up his first managerial post at
SportsDirect.com Park.He was a member of Michael ONeills coaching staff at Euro
2016, the nations first major international tournament for 30 years, and will
now forge his own path in the third tier of English football, a level which
36-year-old free-agent Hughes could yet be at next season. Press Association
Sport understands Robinson is attempting to lure the ex-Newcastle and Fulham
defender to Oldham after his contract with Melbourne City expired.Having spent
the bulk of his career in the top flight, Hughes, who played three times at the
Euros to help Northern Ireland reach the last 16, may be reluctant to drop down
to League One and it is believed he has offers both here and abroad to carry on
playing.However, after an unhappy one-year stint Down Under, his familiarity
with Robinson could yet persuade him to link up with the former Northern Ireland
coach in his first managerial gig.Theres a couple of Northern Ireland
internationals Im currently speaking to, Robinson told Press Association
Sport.Ive spoken to one in particular. At this moment in time, hes not going to
commit. Its something were still working on. It would be a massive signing for
Oldham.With or without Hughes, Robinson is keen for his new team to inherit the
same characteristics of ONeills side.Latics will start a 20th successive
campaign in League One and they have not finished higher than 15th in any of
their past seven seasons, though Robinson is no stranger to seeing a team punch
above its weight.
Swingman Shareef Abdur-Rahim Jersey. .Of his Northern Ireland experience, he added: We had some good players, we hadnt got
the best in terms of Germany or Belgium but we did put them in a structure and
shape that they overachieved.They all have to buy into that and that will take
time. People have to see results, that youre making progress, to buy into
it.Anyone who watched the Euros saw the Northern Ireland fans and the work-rate
and effort that the players put in and thats the minimum you can demand off a
professional footballer.People sitting here would give their right arm to be out
on the pitch so you give everything you have, you work hard and thats the basis
for every bit of success weve had with Northern Ireland.Robinsons first phone
call after holding discussions with Oldham was to his mentor ONeill, who
encouraged him to take the job even though it meant losing him from his backroom
team.However, Robinson stressed he believes the country can reach greater
heights still after the Euros, provided ONeill is not snagged by a club side
too.As long as they keep hold of Michael, theres a lot more to be achieved; the
man can achieve anything he wants in football, he noted.It wasnt a case of I
think that was as far as we can go. It was more the opportunity of Oldham and
managing in League One and being able to put my stamp on things, that was the
temptation. Also See: Oldham video Oldham fixtures Oldham stats
