In the end? We've been shite for 15 months
In the end? We've been shite for 15 monthsRobins lost his first 3 games in the second spell without scoring a goal.
that didn’t turn out too badly in the end
I thought they made some good points tbh. Lampard hasn’t achieved much, has arguably under achieved at his “good” jobs, relied on having better players rather than any tactical ability and the advantage of loans he had at Derby will be lessened from his time out since.
People are desperate to put a good spin on it and keep calm and carry on, but objectively he is a dreadful appointment and one that was a joke among fans when Robins first went to show how clueless we could be.
To be brutally honest we've been shite for the last 7 years apart from the promotions ,Wembley appearances and Cup runsIn the end? We've been shite for 15 months
Don't you think I know that, I used to be a fucking useless telephone engineer.hate to be fickle but AC or DC is a voltage not a current.
if it is Lampard it bears more than a frightening resemblance to the Birmingham and Rooney situation all over again except we don't have billionaire American owners to buy our way out of the messI thought they made some good points tbh.

He will be beatifyed if we make the Prem this seasonPope Frank the 1st?
He's nowhere near as bad as Rooney. FL should be fine at championship level with a good backroom. I'm warming to the idea.if it is Lampard it bears more than a frightening resemblance to the Birmingham and Rooney situation all over again except we don't have billionaire American owners to buy our way out of the mess
Thing is King is clearly hugely ambitious and patience is not his thing - he's absolutely desperate for PL football. He takes no prisoners..... bit like Killer. Not our usual organic gradual growth approach, but it'll go down well with SBA, provided the cost and debt is not heaped on the club.... we really must avoid that. He should come clean about the way the finances are being structured. Are SISU/Otium still lurking? Is Mike Cashley hovering? Is it all DKs cash? Is there a new 3rd party investor? End of the day the club needs us and we probably need someone with a brutal vision to get us up. Interesting times ahead.

This is nonsense, you could make the "relied on their best players" argument about any manager / head coach in the world, including Pep Guardiola.
Pep is likely to get his best players at his clubs cos he has infinite cash. Is there an equivalent set of players we can loan in? And if there are why do we need Lampard to loan them? The point of a manager is to get more than the sum of the parts not just find more expensive parts.
We've got some good players, Lampard has shown some ability to get the best out of them, especially young ones. Let's just give him a chance.
If it's Lampard he will have to be something special to placate some of the staunch pro Robins mob. When Lampard was first mentioned it left me with a blank expression but ultimately I can only say regarding the dawning of a new era it's up to you Doug. But i bet you're wondering now whether the timing of it all was correct and the current situation is too hot to handle. Appearing on a fans forum doesn't make it alright .

Concrete jungle was tempting-10 for not getting do nothing in there
Enjoy yourself should have been a slam dunk.Concrete jungle was tempting
Has he? Who did he get the best out of at Derby or Everton? What older players has he got the best out of?
I’m allowed an opinion on whether a prospective hire is any good FFS

Where are our players to bring through though, even at our levelMount, Reese James, Abraham, Tomori he brought through in his first season there. Yes these are exceptional players but it's all relative to the level, they still got a top 4 spot. Kovacic got player of the season so it wasn't all the youngsters either.
You are allowed an opinion but I'm just pointed out it is misguided.
I think they are waiting until us fans are less angry about it and have calmed down.
Wouldn’t want Eustace, don’t see the potential in the appointment nor really ticks any of the boxes I would want.On eustace , I absolutely do not believe that's an upgrade at all and would be a cheap shit appointment
Have you heard anything else?We've got some good players, Lampard has shown some ability to get the best out of them, especially young ones. Let's just give him a chance.
NoHave you heard anything else?
It's less bringing through but more getting the best from what is a young squadWhere are our players to bring through though, even at our level
That first bit sounds a bit like a tagline for a new book.The King is clearly hugely ambitious and patience is not his thing - he's absolutely desperate for PL football. He takes no prisoners.....
