Frank Lampard Rumours (19 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

I really can't believe we are still doing this. 8 points is 8 points, teams come back from that all the time. Jordan pointed out in the Talksport interview that Robins had done it previously [in February] and both he and King agreed that promotion was the aim for the new manager THIS SEASON and that the play offs certainly weren't out of the question. That should really kill this as an argument.

Our stats show we were playing to a decent level. If we weren't conceding above our xG we would be in the mix already. I'm not lynching the new manager for not making it but the idea that top 6 is out of the question and the season is over is absolute bunkum!

You can’t control other teams and I think that’s fair but for me a decent manager should be getting this squad to perform at a top six level. If that’s not enough for play offs then fair enough, but the form should be there.

They weren't a week ago. I looked about the same time we sacked Robins.

Anyway if it is Lampard then hopefully he can get us a slightly better quality of player who didn’t make the grade at Chelsea.

I hear Mo Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are out of contract soon.

We were shorter before the Derby defeat

In all seriousness, could we look at getting Harvey Vale and Chukwuemeka on loan from them if he comes in or is that too ambitious in regards to the later

Sorry that is what I meant. We were still relatively short odds on promotion just after we sacked Robins.

Photo of Lampard yesterday in London from a fan, this is clutching at straws but this looks like a Cov shirt in Frank's hand?

It does but not sure why he'd be walking around holding one.

He is looking well. Healthy body , healthy mind.

Well I've studied that picture and he's also holding something like a pass which appears to have the word something like Visa on the front it?
Then factor in the surrounding's could be Italian, could be coombe could be the medieval place in the town, but I'm not guessing?

Hadn't realised the betting has changed significantly.
Frank now 2nd Fav 2/1. Carsley 13/8 Favourite. Van Nis 7/2. Bloom 8/1.

Looks like Parliament? Is there a CCFC store in the HoP?

Does look like a cov shirt and seems extremely happy. Maybe he’s just got a job he wanted

Just had a look on sky, Frank still first at 6/4 but Lee is very close at 7/4.

Isn't DKs main office based in London? Lampard will still live in London most likely, if anything has gone on and Frank's got the job maybe they met up in London, and Frank's passed by HoP on the way or not long after, hence why he's holding the shirt?

Drifting in the market.. phew!!!

Could that be cause everyone got there bets in early and now seemingly going to Rudd? Or do betting companies just keep it high?

 

[Balli001]

Drifting in the market.. phew!!!

Id pay zero attention to the market. £20 would take someone from 20/1 to favourite currently

It's Westminster Hall in London, and a Visitor pass. Latest odds 25/1 Coventry City shirt, 7/1 J-cloth, 1/10 random blue thing.

His head had been imposed!!

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Maybe Doug spoke to Lampard and afterwards told him to pass Ruud a city shirt because he's the new head coach, Doug said Ruuds has the bigger deck at 10-12 cards long

Frank Lampard to hold talks with Coventry to be next manager

The former Chelsea player and manager is among a handful of contenders for the post after owner Doug King and his advisors whittled down their initial roll call.

At the same stage of the season last year, Norwich were 7 points off the playoffs. They ended up 3 points clear in 6th. 10-point swing.

At the same stage the season prior, Middlesbrough were 7 points off the playoffs. They finished 4th with clearance of 6 points from 7th. 13-point swing.

At the same stage the season prior, both Sheffield United and Forest were 6 points off the playoffs. They finished 4th and 5th respectively, with clearance of 10 points and 5 points from 7th. There’s an 11-point swing and a 16-point swing.

Do I need to go on?

You are Jeremy vine with a swingometer.

He's an absolute mug if he doesn't move up here . We've all got wheelie bins for a start which is more than some down in that free running open sewer have.
