Glad to see there's another member of the Wilfried Nancy fan club here. He's absolutely my top pick for the job too.

So much better than Madsen. We should be on the recruitment team.

Was Robins issue that he couldn’t motivate the players or that his tactics weren’t good enough?

Did I listen to a completely different fan forum or have people on here lost the plot? Doug clearly explained that Austin is part of the leadership team at the club alongside Dr Roberts and the Head Coach. They are literally the heads of department at the club and meet semi-regularly to go over...

Torp and EMC are the players I could see most improving in Lampard’s 433

It’s been suggested that Dempster and Delaney could go back to their old jobs, no? Or was that ITK guesswork?

Agree with this. That whole part was very confusing. Sounded like they interviewed good candidates but MR essentially never put a CV in front of him and said “I want this one”. But at the same time, some of them also didn’t want to be Number 2s? Bizarre.

I did agree with Doug saying the fans are wrong to act like it’s fine we started slow because we have the past two years and ended up alright. That’s not a winning formula you can bank on year after year. It’s very different to Birmingham sacking Eustace when they were 5th. MR would still be...

Things I thought were very interesting: 1) seems like the next step after a Head Coach is hiring a Director of Football. 2) the HC search isn’t close to being done. 3) Doug loved Adi despite what all the ITKs said 😂 4) Doug seems to really want a proper tactician as HC (this is big to me)

If what Doug said is true, Robins shot himself in the foot with not wanting Adi, hiring an inexperienced group of coaches as a replacement, and was fired because he was too stubborn to see his own limitations.

Adi designed and planned every single training session. Adi was the guy who had to convince Robins to change formation when it wasn't working. We were always going to struggle when he left...

I'd actually be happier if Doug and Austin etc are meeting now to discuss candidates rather than already having one like Lampard lined up. Gives me more optimism of an actual search being put in place and using wisdom of the crowds rather than just Doug going "Frank is big name, hire Frank!".

I meant Doncaster ffs. All northern shithole towns blend into one in my head.

Former U21s player Jay McGrath is having a great season at Rotherham. 4th in the table, starting every game and being called one of the best CBs in League 2.

MVE beaten for pace and an unreal finish from the striker. Can't do much about that.

This is it. Doug King wants the big name attached to his shiny new toy to impress his other millionaire mates.

Absolutely against. If it is him, it stinks of Doug making an ego-driven decision rather than one where the club have actually cast a wide net and tried to find the best man possible. Lampard underperformed at Derby and Everton and Chelsea went to shit in his last season there.

Oh Doug can fuck off if it’s Lampard.

If we spend all this time scouting foreign leagues for gems but decide our manager based on who’s doing well in league 1 right now I’ll hit the roof.

One of the other managers I posted in the OP, Rydstrom, is a big relationism believer too. Turned malmo into the best team in Sweden with it.
