Karl Robinson believes the Fulham manager's job will be a fantastic opportunity for somebody – but not for him.

The MK Dons boss saw his side held to a 1-1 draw yesterday by a Fulham side led from the dugout by Peter Grant, who has already ruled himself out of taking the role full time.

This comes after Reading chief Steve Clarke took himself out of the running on Friday, having looked the previous day all set to be named as Kit Symons' replacement.

Not interested: Peter Grant

Robinson said: “Fulham are a tremendous football club. It will be a great job for whoever comes in – no that I'm putting myself forward for it!

“They have one of the best squads in the league and so much experience on and off the pitch, with Peter Grant and Alan Curbishley helping run things.

“Their players showed real togetherness today. It's the natural thing for players to do, whereas they're a lot more reliant on the manager lower down the leagues.

'Top man': Kit Symons

“But Kit is a tremendous guy and a top man, and I hope to see him back in a job soon. I said they have a great squad, and it was Kit that assembled it, as well as bringing young players through. It was only a matter of time before they started picking up results.”

For all that, Robinson believes Fulham were lucky to get a point, and that Ross McCormack, having already been booked, should have been sent off for kicking the ball away.

He added: “You can't kick the ball away like that, and he was lucky to stay on. But we should have already put it to bed by then – they were very lucky to go in 1-1 at half time, and Joe Lewis made some phenomenal saves.”
