Robinson’s first match in charge came against Forest Green Rovers in League Two.

His side had got off to the perfect start of the new era as Matt Smith netted the opener in the 4th minute.

However, just ten minutes later Robinson was sent to the stands by referee Charles Breakspear.

His dismissal appeared to be due to keeping the ball away from the Forest Green players after it had gone out of play.

Salford was bought by former Manchester United stars Gary Neville, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt in 2014.

Salford teased today’s match as the start of a “new area” under Robinson.

And following the boss’ red card fans have joked at the club’s expense on social media.

One fan posted: “That’s 8 eras in 9 years! How many eras are you planning?”

A fourth said: “Never change Robbo.”

Another added: “Probably not the best way to start your debut managing a club.”
