Robinson Comments On Turner's Decision

Former Hereford United coach Phil Robinson has commented on Graham Turner's decision to stand down as manager of Hereford United.

Robinson took over as 'manager' from Turner for a short spell in 2002 after Turner decided to concentrate on off-pitch matters.

"I am a little bit surprised he is stepping down. But also I know how much work goes in to keeping a club the size of Hereford afloat and running and financially stable," Robinson told BBC Hereford and Worcester.

"Combining the both must be an incredibly difficult job and he's done that for so long now.

"I know he will still have an involvement as director of football with the signings and comings and goings and the running of the football club in terms of football.

"But maybe the combination of the two, and the amount of time he has been doing it, has been catching up."
