Frank Lampard Rumours (218 Viewers)

[torchomatic]

I just hope against hope this is bullshit. Surely King wouldn't be dumb enough to hire Lampard based solely on family connections?

Frank with Harry Redknapp as DOF

 

[baldy]

Yep, we'll lose our identity now, our Club will be prefixed with "Frank Lampard's" on every website, newspaper article and TV show.

All the hard work of MR and AV pissed up the wall with a vanity appointment by our clueless owner.

Lose our identity? Fuck me - such ridiculous reactions on here

 

[pusbccfc]

I instantly didn't like the idea of Lampard but the suggestion that Doug knows the family makes this a much worse decision

Because a small time Manchester United journalist said so?

 

[Calista]

Is there credible evidence that Doug knows Redknapp/Lampard besides the face he called him Frank at the forum

Sure it wasn't 'our Frank'?

 

[Liquid Gold]

Go back to rapeseed you floppy haired prick

At least we’ll get a mention

all i know is this is a massive day for @Grendel ’s spreadsheet…booked
parked a few of these myself for when we get promoted

I'll be very happy to be proved wrong.

But also very surprised.

I'm sure that's a recently created myth tbh.

<ring, ring>
"Doug, it's Harry. The Manager's job. Give it to Frank".
"OK".

 

[alfielloyd]

names, ones that actually wanted the job then please

How the fuck am I likely to know who wants the job? What I do know is that FL would not be the way forward. My suggestion would be to have a chat to the recruitment team at Brighton, they appear to know what they are doing.

It was also claimed in The Telegraph by two of the country’s leading journalists tbf

That rumour has changed to it's Dean Austin that knows them

Likely bollocks

 

[Hincha]

Fairly uninspiring.

His Derby team were mid table statistically - doesn’t suggest he’s an elite coach. Can only hope he’s been trying to improve during his time out.

Coaching has changed significantly in the last 5 years. Young forward thinking coaches like McKenna, Maresca, Hurzeler are replacing the old guard.

Feels like we had the chance to follow suit and went with the biggest name instead.

apart from getting a shite manager for hearts

Well he appears to have broken the stories that the bookies have responded to

I'm sure Doug wants Lampard because he goes for a pint in Mayfair with a member of the Redknapp family.

correlation does not equal causation

the bookies are not responding to him

Spot on

Bookies had suspended betting on Lampard about 25 minutes before that tweet.

those pesky facts

 

[Calista]

Numerous. FL is posh, articulate (spouts shit), Tory and a failed football manager.

Lampard is posh?

 

[David O'Day]

That cosplay David Ornstein is doing that hedging his bets so he can say he is right no matter happens thing again

It's easy to have a Gary Linekar 'Claudio Ranieri, really!?' moment at this point to be honest. We have players that are very good and we looked to be turning a corner.

It doesn't mean Lampard couldn't do well, or that we shouldn't be behind him at this point, but it's all a bit redundant. I was quite behind Doug King until now, but this whole thing is just a joke in principle.

 

[torchomatic]

King, close ties to the Redknapp family should mean fuck all. Any appointment should be on his merits as a manager not on who his fucking relatives are. Fucking prick.

 

[Calista]

It's a gin and Dubonnet

 

[Ccfcisparks]

King to release CCFC Dildos in the club shop, so he can fuck us all over again and again

They'll sell out in no time at all given how some of our fans seem to enjoy watching ourselves get fucked.

Somebody mentioned the link with Redknapp was Dean Austin.
If Austin is advising King, then he'll obviously push Lampard.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

God I hope this isn't true , what an uninspiring choice .

 

[Ccfcisparks]

You are a dildo

 

[David O'Day]

Who apart from a wannabe "journalist" that clearly has no actually source at CCFC has said King and Redknapp are freinds?

 

[David O'Day]

to make it worse a wannabe who has rowed back on his initial claim

Ha, even you know it's fucking dodgy, if true.
