Confirmed : Lampard Head Coach (2 Viewers)

[Tommo1993]

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.

Now break that down and see how daft it looks:

Onana or Sheaf

Maupay or Bassette

Gray or Wright

McNeil or Sakamoto

The only one I’d think about is Gray vs Wright.

Happy with this. If you want a coach to bring out the best of what you've got, who better than a man who has lived it. I'm certain the players will want to impress him. I think we will see a lot of fringe players stepping up. New slate and some much needed freshness

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Ok this has made me a little excited.

Yes, I just had little bit of wee pop out

 

[procdoc]

I’d like us to change the entire coaching team to be honest. None of them are ‘elite’ let’s face it

 

[Perennial Lurker]

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…

Who has said they're determined for this to go wrong ?
You are allowed to be underwhelmed by any new signing whether it be player or manager and still support your club

Very similar, enigmatic players

 

[usskyblue]

Hopefully we see a higher level of coaching now. No players pissing about and fuck the behind the scenes at Ryton bollocks off.

Do we really need to be seeing head tennis, Dasilva making coffee and Wilson gurning.

Frank’s first ‘City Unseen’

Who are the success stories of big name players that have been successful managers? (English football only)

In fairness how many of them go into management?

Elite costs a lot of money.

The supporters forum is at 6pm lol

Get there for 5:00 p.m. have a few beers watch it on the big screen jobs a gooden.

 

[itsabuzzard]

finally we can end the FL thread, end the rumours and more importantly end the polls !

I doubt we've seen the last of the polls.

He left m8, plays for Charlton

Gerrard, Rooney , Lampard, Bryan Robson, Bobby Charlton, Booby Moore hardly success. Players who were world class that made good managers , Cruyff, Zidane , Beckenbauer .

 

[Ashdown]

I’ve still not got over THAT Lampard goal that was over the line against Germany

 

[torchomatic]

"Not gonna lie, I logged onto," looks at phone, "Blue Sky Talk and 49.7% wanted me in the job. In Premier League terms that's well over 100%, good enough for me".

 

[Deity]

Pep, Ancelotti,

Gerrard, Rooney , Lampard, Bryan Robson, Bobby Charlton, Booby Moore hardly success. Players who were world class that made good managers , Cruyff, Zidane , Beckenbauer

 

[fernandopartridge]

Arteta was a class player as well tbf

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

King is 100% selling up after five years.

Mike Ashley and the Fraser group and the football club become one.

 

[tisza]

Arteta was a class player as well tbf

But Artetea served his time as a coach first. Spent 3 years learning from the best. Arsenal took quite a risk appointing an unproven manager.

[Ashdown]

I think I would have been happier and totally sympathetic if Robins had wanted to take a short break away from the pressure ( perhaps a month or so whilst grieving) whilst Carr and the others took temporary charge ….and then came back in to handle the January transfer window.
Alas we can’t turn back the clock and a relatively impoverished club is now paying two managers.

 

[JSL]

Who else has been let go aside George?

“You know there’s a bloke in Earlsdon that thinks you’re the worst thing to ever happen to this club?!”

He really wishes he was part of the footballing staff, doesn’t he?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Looks like Fabio is happy with the appointment

Mmm
“Oh look a fellow millionaire”

strange one that isn’t it

 

[Sick Boy]

Really hope he succeeds however, if Frank is given permission to delve into the loan market then Robins really has been given a raw deal. Much like Phil Neal was dismissed, Atkinson hired and given shedloads of cash to spend.

Yeah, because Robins had no money to spend.

 

[Saddlebrains]

No more backroom staff leaving as of yet

 

[Nick]

Head to toe in Hummel, even found him some fresh trainers.

Bet Doug is gutted we didn't get RVN as they could have compared turtle necks.

 

[torchomatic]

Haha, spot the odd one out.

 

[Captain Dart]

Comes across well there.

He always does even since his playing days when he was put up to speak after England games.

 

[Liquicon]

Purely on numbers it would make sense.

Doug was apparently happy for Robins to bring in an assistant. Lampard has brought in two and Boateng has gone. How long that lasts will be the interesting part.
