bookie fav from day 1

So you agree Sky are talking bollocks then.

 

[GIMOC]

Do you think it will be Frank?

obviously depends on how much king is willing to pay for his services and back room staff and pay more compo out to the coaches here already

I’ve said there’s no proof, they all jump on a rumour, it went from advanced talks to crisis talks as soon as that Man Utd fan put it out there, they probably are talking but nobody knows anything,

 

[Yorkshire SB]

Don’t blame Lampard for wanting to bring his coaches with him. Fairly common practice and if he wants to give himself the best chance of success he’ll want people around him he knows and trusts.

what proof do you need?

you just think the bookies will put him as 1/8 odds for the fun of it

seriously talks are obviously done behind close doors but to say the deal has been kept quiet and under the radar is just ridiculous

Well if that's the case it's not going to happen then is it.

it will cost king a mini fortune in compo for current coaches and the additional salary with the new men

A few of us had reservations about wether king was prepared to spend the money required to employ an "elite level " coaching team .

And now to hear you mention john eustace I can't help but worry we are about to take a gigantic step backwards

 

[David O'Day]

Lads look who you are biting to

Maybe Lampard doesn't want to join as he's heard Sheaf is on strike as well as out for months

proof will be in the pudding

depends what king is willing to give

there is wage cap which meant Hamer and ohare wouldn’t stay

see if he uses the same approach for Lampard. The whole package from offering new contracts and ripping up current deals could cost a lot of money

it all started as soon as Doug said “ we’ve had various applications of which Lampard is one” sky sports had Alan smith on the same night being interviewed about lampard “ potentially “ getting the job, all I said was there’s no “ proof “ from anywhere he’s been talking, that’s all I’m saying, unless you’ve seen any ?

If 2 go back to the under 21’s and Carr stays on as indiv development coach It probably leaves Boateng surplus to requirements which won’t cost a fortune to exit.

What was sheaf’s injury by the way, seemed to never get mentioned, strange that

Sheaf? Thought he was on strike?

He talks about a wage cap and Hamer, is that the same Hamer he said had signed a new deal?

He didn’t want to play, they said he was injured, he wasn’t. quickest recovery he’s ever had, he was training the day after, what a coincidence

ok fella

 

[quinn1971]

ok fella

Only tell the truth mate, dont make stuff up just for the sake of it

 

[Grendel]

kept quiet? are you joking?

it’s been common knowledge Lampard was no 1 target the day after robins had left

You said they were conducting interviews last week and king was on holiday

 

[GIMOC]

You said they were conducting interviews last week and king was on holiday

how thick are you?
You can be a no1 target but still have other interviews.

be a bit silly putting all your eggs in one basket?

as for king. he was hence why Eccles deal only coming out today despite being common knowledge since last week

You said Allardyce was the first choice

Pretty naive of King if he thought Lampard wouldn't want to bring in coaches he knows and can trust.

I'd love us to bring in some unknown (to us) foreign coach. It's worked well for players like Sako and Torp, and its currently working for Sunderland - they got Regis Le Bris as Manager from FC Lorient and he's doing a pretty decent job at the SoL. I bet he's on cheaper wages than Lampard would be on here as well.

Hope our recruitment will still actively look abroad, like you mentioned Saka, Torp, Hamer, Wright for example

Which coaches are handling the U21's and U18's if it's not Dempsey and Delaney, if those guys are taken out of the first team picture I guess the incumbent U18 & U21 coaches will be released.

The information about academy staff isn't on the club website as far as I can see. The best information I found was a 10th Sept article in the Cov Telegraph when the team photo was taken.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

We’re talking about someone that seemingly decided in early to mid October he was sacking MR. Any kind of basic due diligence would’ve indicated the replacement would want bring in his own staff.

I’m sure King said the new manager will be able to bring in their own people at the conference. If Lampard wants an assistant and another it’s not to difficult to see why there might be a speed bump to getting the deal done.

I quite like the idea of someone unknown.

But the main think I get from the post is there's a guy who's basically called Regis the Circumcised.
