Robson meeting with McCabe delayed
Heavy fog grounded Robson's morning flight, so his meeting with Kevin McCabe and Terry Robinson will now take place this afternoon.
BBC Radio Sheffield understands the former England captain will learn his fate after a disappointing time in charge of the Blades that sees them languishing 16th in the Championship table. Someway short of the immediate return to the Premier League the club had expected.
We understand the board have considered several options including keeping Robson on at the club in a role away from the first team, bringing further support to his coaching staff, something the United manager last night said wouldn't happen.
However, the avenue the board are most likely to pursue, will be to relieve Robson of his first team duties, but offer a position in another role, possibly working with the club on their global business interests.
Already Kevin Blackwell, Chris Coleman, Paul Ince, Aidy Boothroyd, Billy Davies and fan's favourite Sam Alladyce have been linked with the job, but the one outsider who was believed to be watching United on Saturday former England manager Steve McClaren.
Speaking after last night's goalless draw at his former club West Brom Robson was confident he'd still be in charge of the club at the weekend.
"Well I would like to think so, the board and Mr McCabe have not said anything. We always had this meeting which was planned to talk about everything around the club, hopefully that's what we'll do.
"That's how I understand it, but like I say you can only ask Mr McCabe."
