Or maybe there was never a ban on loan players in the first place
Or maybe there was never a ban on loan players in the first placeOne of the main attractions of Lampard would be he network of loan players. But Doug has seemingly banned loan players for Mark Robins.
does this mean Lampard has been promised money to buy players? Or has DK changed his policy ?
I agrees this all scans...so why did Doug gave him a 4 year contract in May '23?
Agreed although Butcher not bright , Lampard is & he got Derby close.You couldn't dispute Peter Reids or terry butchers either
Agree. Getting to the stage where will be disappointed if its not Frank Lampard.
You simply can not dispute his football p
Football has evolved a lot since then so hard to compare. We’ve got to hope that he’s been out getting ideas from different people and not sitting on his arse since being out of a job. If there are any egos in our team as has been suggested, he’s got experience of dealing with that by managing at a higher level. If we do appoint him, we have to get behind him.You couldn't dispute Peter Reids or terry butchers either
Sure , but come the first bad patch (which happens under all managers ) will supporters be demanding change again
I don't question franks football knowledge , infact when I listen to him talk I'm always impressed .Football has evolved a lot since then so hard to compare.

Most supporters weren't demanding a change (in manager) this time
Well some were , and let's not forget the emotional attachment is gone so fans won't be as lenient
The problem is - once we became stable and starting spending money whilst maintaining one of the biggest gates in the league. We stopped being underdogs.Look I can understand why some fans like the idea of Lampard. It’s been a long time as a club since we have been linked to big footballing “names” such as his. I just don’t think he fits with our DNA as a club whatsoever.
we’ve got where we have being underdogs, building something where we aren’t the flashiest name, but with a good group who knows there identity. I don’t want to be all over sky coverage as “Frank Lampards Coventry City”
So what is our DNA and identity?Look I can understand why some fans like the idea of Lampard. It’s been a long time as a club since we have been linked to big footballing “names” such as his. I just don’t think he fits with our DNA as a club whatsoever.

A club that isn’t the flashiest, but it’s hardworking, honest and represents the city and fans well.So what is our DNA and identity?

Completely agree that we’ve got where we are being underdogs. Now the expectation from everyone around the championship is that we should be around the play offs with some fans expecting us to be top 2 at the start of the season. The circumstances that has led to Robins success has ultimately been his downfallLook I can understand why some fans like the idea of Lampard.

Being a player and a manager is a totally different situation and is a pointless argument mentioning his playing daysYoung Lampard took loads of shit from West Ham fans in his early career.
Think they slagged him off for his fitness/weight. He came thro all that to become arguably the greatest goal scoring midfielder the prem has seen. I think the stats bear that out.
He will have been grafting to be the best he can be as a manager. Imo. It won't be for the want of trying. I am sure he will of interviewed well. Now he & we need points.
I agree about being that. I don't want any manager where it turns into their Coventry city.Look I can understand why some fans like the idea of Lampard.

He doesn’t strike me as Wayne Rooney does ie someone who relied on natural talent then struggles to get things across to weaker players.Young Lampard took loads of shit from West Ham fans in his early career.

What problems?He doesn’t strike me as Wayne Rooney does ie someone who relied on natural talent then struggles to get things across to weaker players.
For some of his faults he does speak well about the game, is level headed and will have learnt a lot from his jobs to date. Equally, I just think the problems we have got here will be too much for him to solve.
I mentioned it because his attitude was questioned. To go from being "Fat Frank " to an undeniable Chelsea legend tells me he is made of the right stuff.Being a player and a manager is a totally different situation and is a pointless argument mentioning his playing days
Some always do. Obvs don't have stats to back this up (aside from 3 polls) but I suspect Robins had higher levels of support than most championship managers.Well some were , and let's not forget the emotional attachment is gone so fans won't be as lenient

What real life is that?
I'm in City WhatsApp groups, work at a place with a lot of Skyblues and play 5 a side with predominantly Sky Blues supporters.
And I can tell you now, there is an incredible amount of anger equal to that on here and on social media.
I'm not sure where this real world is away from the bubble I must be living in
A squad that’s heavily imbalanced and is full of weak minded playersWhat problems?
“BIG FAT FRANKS SKY BLUE ARMY!”
They were not weak minded against WOLVES, United, Leeds , Leicester, Luton recently. They are inconsistent and lacking in confidence.A squad that’s heavily imbalanced and is full of weak minded players
Sub standard coaches working out of their specialism
A fan base now hostile towards the owner because a club legend has been unceremoniously sacked
Could go on
They were not weak minded against WOLVES, United, Leeds , Leicester, Luton recently. They are inconsistent and lacking in confidence.
They need help on the field with the odd experienced head and some formation and team selection consistency.
They are both fixable.
The new head coach will bring some coaching support with him I;m sure, it may not be instant, But that’s normally what happens.
As a fan base we have a choice as to how wee behave. We can stay angry or we can support the new coach.
Come in Ashley, get the chopper out

Rob Edwards probably available after today too
They pick and choose their performances and largely turn it on in games where either nothing is at stake or nothing is expected from them. They argue with each other on the pitch more often than I can remember from any City team.They were not weak minded against WOLVES, United, Leeds , Leicester, Luton recently. They are inconsistent and lacking in confidence.
