Day after Robins is sacked, CBS Arena... Secretary: Doug, there are a couple of gentlemen in your office. They said you'd be expecting them. Opens door...

Five point five percent, eh?

I agree, yet teams do it, successfully. Not necessarily from the UK either. Some of the young foreign coaches have been excellent.

I would invite you to peruse the Robins Out threads.

Supplement and dependent are two totally different things. More than happy with the former.

Harry Redknapp has yet to give the green light, but probably a done deal once he's consulted with Sarn.

Hope we don't just become a team dependent on loans again. Would be nice to get a few rising stars permanently.

And so will I, as I have said numerous times. Doesn't mean I can't be underwhelmed.

Was waiting for someone to bring up something like this, which is nonsense. Fans want us to win every game no matter who is in charge. People can express their disappointment, doesn't mean we want the team to lose or be happy if we do. Silly.

Because it seems to that name won over substance here. He's hardly set the managerial world alight in the past. He is more of a manager than a head coach. Seems mad to jettison stability for such a underwhelming appointment. Ive no doubt this was nailed on from the moment Robins was sacked.

And you need a new avatar.

Personally, it just seems like an easy way out. The original statement said we'd take our time and do the job properly. The fact King mentioned him last Monday was odd. If asked by a journo, owners are usually coy and discreet, not him. I'll support him like I have every other manager, but...

Hope it works out for US.

Fingers crossed. Sleep time now. Hopefully wake up to better news.

You don't get rid of stability and loyalty for a punt on a "name". Unless you're King that is.

But not rowing back on the family ties thing. Makes zero difference if it's King or Austin, it's dodgy and should have zero influence on selecting our next manager. We want the best man for the job, not just a fancy name with the right connections. Stinks, if true.

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

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.

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

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