Did not need to be.
1) We were on TV; and 2) He saw us beat Exeter at Wembley... he's got it all worked out from that!
Right who's the next manager then? (7 Viewers)

Asked Chat GTP for a couple of leftfield suggestions, this one sounds interesting
Kjetil Knutsen is a Norwegian football manager currently leading Bodø/Glimt, where he has achieved remarkable success since taking charge in 2018. Under his leadership, the club won their first-ever Norwegian league title in 2020 with an outstanding record, including 103 goals and only one defeat, and followed it up with another league title in 2021. His tactics emphasize high pressing, wing overloads, and a style reminiscent of Jurgen Klopp’s gegenpressing, combined with a focus on passing triangles and possession-based football. Knutsen's methods also include mental toughness training, integrating a mental coach to ensure his players remain psychologically strong
Knutsen has made waves in European competitions, most notably defeating Jose Mourinho’s Roma 6-1 in the Europa Conference League and reaching the quarter-finals of the 2021/22 season. He has been linked with clubs in more prominent leagues, such as Brighton, Southampton, and Burnley, reflecting his growing reputation as a forward-thinking and adaptable coach
Given his proven track record of improving teams, cultivating a strong mentality, and employing dynamic tactics, Knutsen could be an exciting fit for Coventry City, particularly if the club seeks a progressive manager to implement a long-term vision

Just watched a press conference he did (in English) on YT.
Impressive. Same vibe I got from watching Viveash’s first interview during L1 winning season . Charisma, and that steely eyed determination.

And his style of football is brilliant to watch, outsmarted Jose, his team beat Roma 6-1 and Ange, would welcome him as head coach over lampard, I just hope DK has considered him

Ajax tried for him but couldn’t agree terms, he apparently gets a % of player sales so it’s going to take more than a bottom half Championship club to tempt him.

I cant get enough of these random Scando/Lowlands suggestions.
Its a fertile ground for candidates with very good records and I'd hope we've at least cast the net there

Still worth going for him, if he says no then it's no but he might see something he likes in us, a good young squad that's exciting, wanting prem football, clubs facilities really good.
Our club is an attractive proposition and it could happen, Deadly Doug can be persuasive

Knutsen sounds like a 1980s Cov Bees legend. but he is exactly the sort of manager we should be speaking to. Whilst PL opportunity is incredibly tempting Bodo/Glimt are 12th in Europa league above Man Utd. Doubt he would come to us sadly.

Depending on the percentage and club sales, he’s got a very good deal there.

Totally agree.
Two strong performances under Carr so far. Another one tonight and it'll begin to look like a serious rethink is a no brainer and Lampard will look even more of an expensive risk.
You not going on Saturday then?

Frank Lampard's Coventry City™ had their three good minutes • The Square Ball
Lampard has admitted he's learned nothing about football coaching, but apparently he's now an expert babysitter. Gotcha. Hold the head, Frank.

Selles is doing a fantastic job at Reading with the restrictions he’s under, summer business consisted of one loan signing on deadline day.

Ruben has been a great manager at reading. Would have been a good shout but I get the impression he doesn’t want to leave don’t know why.
There’s quite a few talented young managers in League one atm

Lol I doubt it but I think he has valid points. I hope I'm wrong but I can see this going tits up. DK wastes more transfer money on dud signings that FL may want.Jesus fecking Christ did Frank shag his wife or something

I don’t mate. The fact he has a massive go about the second spell at Chelsea when he went on about all his experiences and how he’s spent time with different coaches says it all .
Just seems aggro in his article and completely ignores the context of our season and even the first half.
Football is a game of opinions ultimately but this is just lazy imo. On your note, it’s a funny one as last year most of us thought the squad was decent with some clever signings. Players are still in there, just need confidence to bring it out.
Of course if it goes tits up, I’ll be back on the Evatt brigade

I've heard so many pundits compare Robins to Lampard, saying that we are no better off. I don't get the comparison, it's irrelevant. Robins left for the reasons stated and by the way, I was one of our fans becoming more and more frustrated with the poor form since April this year (yes I do count last season!).
Something had to give, maybe the decision was made a little early, but we will never know!
I really think Lampard is fired up to prove all the doubters wrong, let's hope he does...

Be great if we finally went up after all these years especially for the you get fans who have never seen us in the top flight. Plus realise football existed before the PL.I wouldn’t because we’re all cov fans and that shit quickly backfires

As one of the those fans who’ve never seen us in the top flight, I’d love it for a season but genuinely think the championship is the best league in England

To be honest a lot of the times when we just survived relegation it became repetitive after a while ,knowing we would probably win about 10-12 games a season to try and stay up ( a few more when it was just 2 points for a win).

Depends on your definition of "best". Most competitive, for sure, but I don't think the football has the quality of most of the premier league
