Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach (6 Viewers)

[Offhegoes]

It is weird seeing somebody as big as frank lampard talk about our football club In this way , can't lie

Yeah, I got that feeling too. I like that it seems he's done his due diligence.

This is a massive job for him. Would he have taken over at Preston, Millwall or QPR? Don't think so.

If you looked at the attacking players at his disposal at Everton, a few weeks before he got the chop -

Demarai Gray, Maupay, McNeil, Onana

I'd take Sheaf, Wright, Bassette and Sakamoto over those.

Well that’s a bit ridiculous

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

More bad news for the Performance Director. Manager isn’t even fit for an interview.

was actually going to mention this

Onana went for £50m in the summer and has been one of Villa’s best players. You’re joking surely?

 

[Deity]

Is there a bbc CWR phone in tonight ? Or a That Cov Pod ?

 

[Otis]

Don’t get me wrong I wanted robins to stay. But I can understand why King has appointed Lampard, particularly from a commercial sense

Had it up to here with Lampard's commercials to be honest.

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

Of all the reasons I want this to work out, putting Jon Fucking Gaunt back in his box is right near the top.

Pipe down you irrelevant nause

 

[Liquicon]

Boateng confirmed to have left.

 

[Offhegoes]

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.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Only one way to find out.

@Saddlebrains did you write any dirt on here that Tom could of copied for his article

I've said multiple times, Doug is very egotistical and very 'my way or the highway' and if you go against him you won't win

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Onana went for £50m in the summer and has been one of Villa’s best players. You’re joking surely?

As a positive wasent Onana, one of franks transfer?

 

[mark_ccfc]

Glad we got a big name in, that's always gone well in the past...

FFS!

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

So you did let Tom copy your home work

 

[Nick]

Boateng confirmed to have left.

[Perennial Lurker]

Hugely underwhelmed but will give him my support

 

[clint van damme]

https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2024/november/28/news--george-boateng-leaves-coventry-city/

Not surprised.

 

[mmttww]

...unless you're Mark Robins and you tell him you want Adi Viveash binned off

 

[blunted]

Phil Neal, Terry Butcher.

You missed Peter Reid.

That’s Liz Truss territory that poor bloke

 

[blunted]

Not surprised.

But he was so brilliant in the interview.

 

[Martw]

Not surprised.

Who else I wonder . Aril way too many cooks

 

[HJones23]

Wasn't my first choice but I see it as a good thing that Lampard has a point to prove. He has managed in the prem for a couple of years so would like to think he wouldn't be tempted to jump ship at the first chance of premiership job, whereas some of the other names being linked felt like we would be a stepping stone for them. Glad the saga is over, roll on Saturday then Millwall

 

[Pezza]

It's a shame about Boateng, my kind of era, as I was in my teens when he was here. He seems a nice fella but seemingly no room for him and perhaps not quite at the 'elite' level.

 

[Domo]

boateng gone, who will be next?

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Not to piss on @GIMOC chips but the press conference is at 5pm today

Live on Sky Sports News if anyone's interested.

 

[Alex1987]

Boateng looked out of his depth on those City Unseen videos.....

 

[Tommo1993]

Can I just ask, who out of the likely candidates would people not have been “underwhelmed/disappointed” with?

Are people so far entrenched in the idea that anybody other than Robins isn’t good enough for this club? You’re determined for this to go wrong…

 

[djr8369]

I've said multiple times, Doug is very egotistical and very 'my way or the highway' and if you go against him you won't win

That’s generally how it works with the person at the top of the organisation. I’m not sure this is a ground breaking insight.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Same here; he was a key figure of the 1997-2000 CCFC team that was around when I first started supporting the club, and it's always a thrill when a former player returns as a coach. Shame it hasn't worked out

 

[Grendel]

Doubt he will be poor. Will get paid off.

Do we even know who applied? Has always seemed a fait accompli from day one

His legacy will be persuading BTA to sign for Cov instead of Hull

Onana? You been the fella that plays for Belgium and Villa? okay mate

I'm not bothered, he requested a transfer back in 99 and wanted to leave so we don't owe him anything

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Onana? You been the fella that plays for Belgium and Villa? okay mate

Dwight McNeil is a very good player too
