Frank Lampard Rumours (218 Viewers)

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I found it interesting earlier in The Telegraph article that Lampard hadn’t applied, does that mean King has actively seeked him out?

We can admit what it is and say it’s a shite appointment but still get behind the team. It’s totally convinced me Doug Bling is a total con artist though.

thanks for convincing me it's a good appointment

if you and shmeeee are against something then it could be good

 

[alfielloyd]

Just arrived back from the local pub, I spoke to a tabloid journalist who suggested we have absolutely no possibility of recruiting RVN, if that means we are getting FL which he he did not suggest would be the case, I would be fucking gutted. Surely, we can do better than Lampard.

Sacking Mark Robins for Frank Lampard is the only thing here OTT.

Who did you expect to replace him with then?

Probably asked him in the pub when he was there with Rednapp

 

[David O'Day]

How OTT - it's really not

he's rocked up at 11pm again, likely pissed

The irony from the man who talks in facts that always turn out to be false.

The ruud stuff was bollocks, again a United YouTube account

You've missed the point entirely.

 

[David O'Day]

i'm up for this if it happens, we'll do better than we have been doing and we will be able to sign better players

Like who?

They can’t leave us hanging - I have work tommorrow

Some good loans too

If true, I'm dejected. A totally disappointing and uninspiring choice.

So much for King's nonsense about taking our time and getting the appointment right. He went with the "name".

I'd have said RvN was more of a 'name'.

And tbh, the current England manager is also a pretty big name.

To me, all 3 leading candidates had their pros and cons. And there's that unquantifiable 'right fit' for a club. Any or none of them might have that!

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

It won’t be till later on in the week I reckon

 

[baldy]

You've missed the point entirely.

How have I? Robins has gone,we had to replace him & it looks like it's Lampard - nothing we can do about it

 

[David O'Day]

Like who?

this is the question, RVN was never likely as he'll want higher. If he did apply it was his agent doing it to see what we may offer.

 

[Frankly_Mr_Shankly]

By that ridiculous logic you might as well hire Pamela Anderson.

Does she know how to pick a keeper?

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Wonder if it is Frank what his wage will be - I reckon whatever it is will also have attached a massive promotion bonus

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I thought he was just parodying ESB

We could do a parody of you quite easily to be fair. Charles Kennedy crossed with Gerry Adams.

Cross with Rab C Nesbitt

I lost my Betfair account for laying Greyhounds

You got away lightly really

The interesting thing about RVN is that he has actually done some good things which I did not realise before chatting to tabloid journalist man. But he was adamant that his destination would not be the Ricoh.

Spot on.

Same people with the same outrage on here and on social media. People had turned positive about Frank but apparently he's awful again just because a European name became linked.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Who did you expect to replace him with then?

Do you have any suggestions?

 

[torchomatic]

How utterly uninspiring

Get it right, we’ll be Frank Lampards’s Coventry City now

Not a problem, King can hold another fans forum with hand picked attendees who give him a round of applause before it’s even started and give a 15 minute monologue about how it’s everyone else’s fault that Lampard is now manager

Yep, we'll lose our identity now, our Club will be prefixed with "Frank Lampard's" on every website, newspaper article and TV show.

All the hard work of MR and AV pissed up the wall with a vanity appointment by our clueless owner.

 

[alfielloyd]

Like who?

Numerous. FL is posh, articulate (spouts shit), Tory and a failed football manager.

 

[robbiekeane]

all i know is this is a massive day for @Grendel ’s spreadsheet…booked
parked a few of these myself for when we get promoted

 

[Calista]

And then you ignore the above and give it to your mate's nephew...

Having told the world that he had applied, making it incredibly awkward to reject him. Looked like a done deal from that moment tbh.

More press and media coverage both national and international. We will not lose our identity

 

[skybluecam]

Can’t believe some of you lot, you were crying out for an experienced centre mid, Doug goes out and signs Frank fucking Lampard and you’re all kicking off! No pleasing some is there.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

We just need to hope he can bring his own coaches, surely that’s a red line for any manager though

 

[False9]

I instantly didn't like the idea of Lampard but the suggestion that Doug knows the family makes this a much worse decision

names, ones that actually wanted the job then please

that's bullshit
