Robson kicked to the curb
Robson 'relieved of his duties'
Robson only took charge of the Blades last May
Sheffield United boss Bryan Robson has been relieved of first-team duties following talks about his future at the club, BBC Radio Sheffield understands. The news comes after Robson met club chairman Terry Robinson and plc chairman Kevin McCabe on Wednesday.
Both chairmen told BBC Radio Sheffield the talks had been constructive and there would be "reasoned changes to the football infrastructure".
The Blades sit 16th in the Championship seven points off the relegation zone.
Robson, 50, took charge at Bramall Lane in May, nine days after the Blades' dramatic relegation from the Premier League on the last day of the season.
606: DEBATE
Will Sheffield United be better off without Robson?
But despite their pre-season aim of returning to the top flight, United have won just nine of their 32 Championship fixtures, and top scorer James Beattie has only just returned to action after a long lay-off because of a knee ligament injury.
The talks took place in Brussels, Belgium, and were held following a fans protest against Robson after Saturday's goalless draw with Scunthorpe.
BBC Radio Sheffield's Seth Bennett said: "Sheffield United will make clear their plans for a massive restructure of the football club later on Thursday.
"McCabe is expected to reveal a number of other changes to the coaching and management roles in order to improve the Blades' performances, after a disappointing campaign.
"There has not yet been any clue as to what many of the other changes will be."
Sheffield United are due to face Robson's former club Middlesbrough in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Sunday, after beating Manchester City in the last round.
