He sort of also said he still wants the stadium in a roundabout way
Trying to ignore all of the he said/she said stuff from last night, this is what I've thought about the most. There's no way he can bring in a Matt Bloomfield or someone similar now. It needs to be a Lampard, Carsley or someone like that.Maybe I'm hoping, but the fact King has said he wants an elite coach and tactician would make Lampard unlikely. I don't see how you look at Lampards record and think that's a high level tactician.
On Lampard, I'm excited by his connections more than him himself. I think it's a very useful tool at this level.
Well I don't think he's completely useless either if that helps.It’s never really worked out though has it? I can’t think of a team promoted because their manager had good connections.
I think his biggest asset is players like Milan and Wright would look up to him, and he’d bring on people like Torp.
I watched a video of him talking tactics last night and he wasn’t particularly impressive IMO. I think he’d be an excellent coach, but we’d need someone tactical alongside him.
I’m still holding out for that Scandinavian bloke BSB mentioned.
Bloody hell, more traffic congestion and the last thing we need is loads of cars whizzing round the CBS endlessly.He sort of also said he still wants the stadium in a roundabout way
What's Grok? I left Twitter last week after Trump won the election. Twitter will just become the propaganda arm of the Trump Administration from January. BlueSky is much nicer. No bots, no sex bots, no Temu ads, no right-wing nutters.
Not a bad idea though, turning the entire Arena into a massive roundabout may ease congestion. I'm thinking something like this -

Can’t see that happening now that he’s dropped Lampard’s name.It’s never really worked out though has it? I can’t think of a team promoted because their manager had good connections.

Me too. I've never been more desperate for us to have a manager I've never heard of.I’m still holding out for that Scandinavian bloke BSB mentioned.

He's managed at a higher level than Robins ever has, he likely has a longer managerial career to look forward to, he's played football at a higher level than Robins ever did.Maybe I'm hoping, but the fact King has said he wants an elite coach and tactician would make Lampard unlikely. I don't see how you look at Lampards record and think that's a high level tactician.
Plenty of footballers though who played at the very highest level and then became absolutely dreadful managers.He's managed at a higher level than Robins ever has, he likely has a longer managerial career to look forward to, he's played football at a higher level than Robins ever did.
We of course cannot predict the future, but to suggest that there is no way Lampard can be an upgrade on Robins is just sky blue tinted glasses (and im not suggesting you are saying this, just responding to your post!)
absolutely, its not a guarantee, but careless just to assume he wont be any goodPlenty of footballers though who played at the very highest level and then became absolutely dreadful managers.

I went to threads but will try bluesky as the former is slightly underwhelming….What's Grok? I left Twitter last week after Trump won the election.

I've been on there about a year but it has really picked up in the last week.I went to threads but will try bluesky as the former is slightly underwhelming….
King will also have taken legal advice prior to the event; he's not an idiot.I'm wondering that after Kings explanation for the exiting of MR & AV that Lampard might be having second thoughts about becoming our first team coach.
DK said a few things that I was pretty surprised about and I wonder if MR legal team might be reviewing the severance agreement [if it's not already been signed].
I'd be surprised if he's not already agreed to the job.Lampard now 1/3
I want him to come but doesn’t it just mean that more people are getting on himI'd be surprised if he's not already agreed to the job.

For me it's based on King confirming he'd applied for the job more than anything else. I can't imagine he'd do that otherwise.I want him to come but doesn’t it just mean that more people are getting on him
Bloody hope so. Look so tin pot sacking MR and bringing in a nobody
On the whole 'Lampard isn't a good tactician' thought - I'm not sure that's fair to be honest.
The guys played over 750 games at the highest level including over 100 international caps and has played for some of the best managers in the world.
You don't have that much experience and come out of it with poor tactical knowledge. To be one of the best midfielders in EPL history, you'd need to have a great deal of tactical awareness. You don't just run into positions on a whim etc.
I don't think Dougs comments last night necessarily rule Lampard out.
2bh - he changes between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 regularly and when Everton were against it he changed to 5-4-1.Every fanbase of the clubs he's managed have all said tactically he's rigid, often devoid of ideas beyond what's initially set out, and that ability-wise he's extremely limited.
Being a great player doesn't mean you're going to be a great manager.
