Frank Lampard Rumours (170 Viewers)

[nunchuckas]

If it isn't Lampard and he is genuinely taking his time to appoint someone, it could be that he's eyeing up someone he has inside knowledge on them being on the verge of being sacked? Like a Russell Martin or something.

“Robins was sacked because of x,y,z. Not that it matters now, he’s gone”

So you seriously think if he doesnt turn up tonight the fan base will just brush it under the carpet and forget it happened?

I’d be happy with Martin or Cooper as managers at risk of the sack.

We need a number 10 at xmass. Till then he will have to evaluate torp and saka there I guess

Lampard is everything we don’t want, just name with no substance. He also had success at derby utilising expensive high calibre loans - again everything we don’t do now.

Lampard following arguably our greatest manager would just be so deflating, disappointing and almost feels like last 7 years were for nothing. Just my opinion and find the inevitable appointment frankly depressing.

surely a will still fits the “model” more, young progresseive and hungry. Whilst I don’t know foreign market there are couple of names similar to the Aberdeen manager that are thought well of also. I’d even prefer the Wycombe manager over Lampard to grow with the club.

the grief curve of robins is low today, feels

Yep literally, stunning outfit too. I know the wedding planner at Coombe Abbey, and she’s just sent me this. There’s going to be a ceremony with Doug walking him up the aisle. I think his bum looks big tbh.

It was reported in the Mirror on Sunday.

Frank Lampard closing in on new manager's job after brutal sacking

Coventry parted ways with Mark Robins earlier this week, with Chelsea and England legend Frank Lampard now expected to take the reins of the Championship club

That story looks to be based on the betting, look at the language

Are reasons important after the result? Nothing changes. I’ll be listening, but I bet at 7pm I’ll feel like it’s an hour lost.

Doug’s brother stuck 5M on it

Cooper yes, but Martin would try to impose his ultra AAATB nonsense on players that we know can’t pull it off. It would be a disaster.

Same, way better than all the other candidates on the bookies list.

Liam Rosenior is the only one on that list I'd take.

 

[covcity4life]

Rudoni?

Defo option. Forgot that. Actually has to be number 1 option

We fire a manager after 7 years i think it warrants an explanation from the owner.

We could all have a pretty good guess. But I suppose people demand a drawing.

Is there an explanation that would actually satisfy you?

 

[Balli001]

Its not about being satisfied. Its hearing the reasons as to why it happened. Im staggered that some on here seem happy to just hear nothing and move on

 

[Offhegoes]

Cooper - NO. His football is dour, and he'll be bitter having lost a premier league job.
Martin - Has a whiff or arrogance about him. He annoyed me last season going to the fans before kick off to clap them. I'd have him over Cooper.
However, it will be neither of these two

 

[Tommo1993]

Beginning to think people are actually expecting an apology and reinstatement!

What gives you that idea? No sane person expects that.

He has played 3 at the back as well with Everton

What are you expecting from it then? I know I’m expecting ridiculous obvious statements. Why was a big meeting with the public necessary?

Torp and Rudoni there, Saka out wide.

He’d be criticised whether he did one or not really, given the unpopularity of the decision.

If he does come, his go to song would have to be

Super! Super Frank,
Super. Super Frank
Super, super Frank,
Super Frankie's army

Wouldn't it?

I think the reasons are obvious, whether you agree with them or not is another question.

Sure it wasn't let in 3 at the back?

 

[Calista]

Doug with Lamps

No way that's Lampard. He's a much taller guy.

 

[Grendel]

Thats more Robins team this season

 

[PVA]

Pretty much! His teams have always been very poor defensively which given our frailties at the back this season is a concern!

 

[TomRad85]

[ovduk78]

Well we have let in 3 a massive once at Leeds so I can see where you get that conclusion from

 

[HadjiChippo]

Ruud’s gone from Man Utd, too high profile for us though. His short run as interim would’ve done his reputation the world of good.

 

[covcity4life]

Ya so it's good he's flexible. Also he played wing backs with wingers in that formation so could be very attacking.
