[Ashdown]

What is King doing there?

Writing the cheques

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Writing the cheques

Or in his talk, riding the Czechs

 

[Alkhen]

Head to toe in Hummel, even found him some fresh trainers.

Bet Doug is gutted we didn't get RVN as they could have compared turtle necks.

Nobody looks good in a turtle neck, never got it, makes everyone look like a sexpest.

 

[Deity]

Why would Dean Austin not do that?

Because he’s not Franks Boss, he’s his peer.

 

[stevefloyd]

Yes, I just had little bit of wee pop out

Pissy pants

 

[shmmeee]

Wonder what a manager does in his first coaching session. Are they all going round saying their favourite cheese and how long they’ve been at Coventry?

Looks more of a sailing pullover than a turtle neck I think!

Looks like a PP Frank is wearing.

Nice watch.

BBC Sport: 'Now or never for Lampard - the stakes are high at Coventry'

Decent article and a sign of how high profile the appt is (Phil McNulty writing about it).

 

[shmmeee]

Got to say the tone of the national press is hardly encouraging!

During pre-season even Robins was talking about play offs, and having this great squad to have a real push. Few weeks into the season he's telling everyone to reign in expectations. I think THAT, very there, was the end of MR.

Maybe, but he could never have expected Simms to fall badly from last season's achievements, or equate for Sheaf being injured and seemingly still carrying a knock (Saddles said he was getting pain killing injections).

MVE's form has dropped too.

Players come in and out of form. It happens everywhere.

Sheaf and MVE are both very good players. They haven't been showing it of late though. And we have now had 3 games without Robins and still their performances haven't matched last year.

I am not surprised he said to reign in expectations.

Some players this season just haven't competed at the same levels they did last season.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Looks like Fabio is happy with the appointment

Liam Kitching on the other hand is in deep thoughts, penny for your thoughts Liam, "please give us a chance boss"

Lampard seen talking closely with Allen in his first training session.
Could Allen be his Kante?

No

Not much difference to when a teacher takes their first lesson with a new class. Lay down expectations then get to work.

Kante? No. Danny Drinkwater maybe

 

[stevefloyd]

Well the first thing he needs to do is to get the players to improve their passing and be more composed.

If we introduced a fine after every pass going astray we could up our wage budget with the extra revenue

Oh no

Telling him to make sure he does his laces up tighter as when he is playing he spends most of the time doing his laces up.,

 

[wingy]

Aled Williams has that look of someone unsure whether he’s going to make it past lunchtime…

Could be Rees's twin tbf, just the trousers don't work,arms folded,bad morning for him!

Guessing because he's one of the clubs most senior players.

EPL winning, Champions league winning, World Cup winning Kante?
That one?

 

[nicksar]

Glad its all finalised, pleased he's got the two coaches he wanted in his team.
Just listened to his opening interview,he speaks very well.
Very pleased he made reference to the great work Mark Robins did in his time at the club.

 

[alfielloyd]

Really not sure on this appointment.

But glad to finally get it all sorted and I hope he's absolutely brilliant for us and proves me wrong.

Good luck Frank and welcome aboard!

I am very unsure, personally I am surprised we could not identify a coach with greater potential than Lampard.

 

[Nick]

Im sure he spoke to all of the players but it was only Allen on camera

 

[rondog1973]

So does every club. Rudoni, Asante, Kitching and Binks were ones MR pushed for and got.

Indeed but still, a shrewd loanee or two can make or break a season. Do you think we'd have made the play offs without McNally and Doyle?

 

[Nick]

Not what I said clearly. Thought it was commonly believed that Robins had been denied use of the loan market by King? Well documented that Robins missed out on some of his permanent transfer targets in the summer.

That's not actually true though is it, about loans?

 

[edgy]

I'm kind of disappointed that King isn't wearing the training kit as well - hahaha.

Can you imagine the outrage at that?!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

EPL winning, Champions league winning, World Cup winning Kante?
That one?

Never heard of him

 

[rondog1973]

You said it was similar to Phil Neal and Atkinson and Robins was stitched up. He spent 10s of millions.

Similar insomuch he was denied something.

 

[Marty]

Is the 5pm press conference on CWR?

 

[Briles]

Was meant to be

 

[rondog1973]

I don't know but often spoken about on here and other forums so assumed it true.

Bit embarrassing for the club that one of the coaches has had to wear Da Silvas tracky bottoms

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Is the 5pm press conference on CWR?

Not sure, you could have a quick look at 5pm, if not it's on Sky Sports News.

CWR do you have a phone in at 6 p.m..
