Robson has flown into Bangkok for talks with the Thai Football Association after former manager Peter Reid left to be Tony Pulis's assistant at Stoke City. The former Middlesbrough and Sheffield United coach, who is currently an ambassador for Manchester United, admitted that talks were at an advanced stage, although denied that a deal had been done. Asked if he had agreed to take the job yet, he said: "No, but it's looking pretty good. "What we will discuss is the commitment that is involved for the national team and the timescale for that, because of the commitments that I have in England with Manchester United. "I think that I am comfortable that I can both and do them well. The Thai Football Association are comfortable with that as well. "Thailand have a great chance of qualifying for the Asian Cup. I have spoken to Peter Reid and he really enjoyed the one year that he spent here."
