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.

If true, I'm dejected. A totally disappointing and uninspiring choice. So much for King's nonsense about taking our time and getting the appointment right. He went with the "name".

And then you ignore the above and give it to your mate's nephew...

Beat me to it.

So uninspiring though.

Fucking hell. King prefers Lampard (not a head coach) because of "his ties to the Redknapp family". He's a fucking idiot.

Oh, the irony.

Two Tone was at its height when I was 14/15 at school. It was a tremendous time and we were equally proud of TT even if we were only in the outer orbit of Coventry and the movement. Worth pointing out that Ghost Town was recorded in Leamington though.

Twist and Shout was a cover too.

And he's more of a coach so fits the model compared to Lampard anyway. I think Lampard would be my nightmare appointment.

Take him over Carsley and Lampard - will look forward to the time I don't have to type those two names any more.

Yeah, I was pointing out the last time he managed a club team, not coached. That was 12 years ago for a few weeks. Not for me, but who knows what will happen.

Yeah, 12 years ago. He was caretaker for a matter of weeks. If he'd never played for us or didn't live locally he wouldn't get a mention on here. We are hovering above the relegation zone with a "third of a season gone" to quote others. I'd rather get someone experienced in than risk getting...

I don't mean Doug King's deck. It's a saying. https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/load+the+deck

Of course every appointment is a risk, but for me you have to load the deck in your favour, so a manager who has club experience at some level. Also, Carsley is only used to working with the cream of the crop. If it is him then fair enough I'd back him, but he certainly wouldn't be my choice.

It's one though that people keep repeating. Along with "he knows the club", which is nonsense as he was last here over a decade ago, the club is totally different. I don't want him, but it if it was a straight choice between him and Lampard then it would have to be Carsley. Hopefully neither.

Blimey.

I'm with you 100%. I use social media primarily for music, either vinyl or fellow musicians. I have no interest in debating with people of a different political persuasion and getting into arguments like on here in the summer. Life is too short. I'm more than happy for BS to be seen as...

BlueSky seems very comfortable and familiar. It's like Twitter used to be ten years ago when there was moderation and control.

I don't think so. They have had a million new users in seven days and I can only think that will continue. Someone posted a graph showing user numbers plummeting from Twitter with people deactivating their accounts and switching to BlueSky or Threads. I didn't want to use Threads as it's a...
