I think it's unfair to say this would be. Vanity appointment by Doug. He might genuinely buy into lampard management ethos and have faith he can get it to click fully this time

I’m convinced that’s what’s happening - no way Doug arranges a fans forum without having something to soften the blow

more SBT extremism.
Lampard isn’t even anything to do with the view that it was wrong to sack Robins. It’s very feasible to hold the view he should have stayed and still want the new manager to do well.
Does he have the gravitas for this set of players though? Non loaded question

I don't think appointing Lampard softens the blow. Makes it worse imho.

I wouldn't know mate, only time would tell.

Yeah, especially on his new hair, as to how's Christine doing and whether he will finally admit that him and Gerrard together in the same England lineup, never worked.

It's clever.
If they get Lampard up in front of the fans, he'll talk well.
I bet we get some very ambitious tripe from Doug about wanting Lampard to get us in the Play Offs this season and how he'll back him in January etc.

Having any manager up there who is willing to talk to the fans will change the narrative tomorrow night.

Not sure this softens the blow for me!
Very underwhelming.
Glad it's not dragging on though, get the appointment made ASAP so we can all move on.

By the list of managers out there I think he may end up being the best thats actually realistic, I’d much rather him over Schumacher, Butt, Niel etc

Well my missus met him & his wife, and said they were very kind, chatted away for ages, and has the photo to prove it- so at least for the first time ever she has an interest in anything related to CCFC, which will make my life a bit easier each weekend

Who mentioned the sacking? The extremism is fans foaming at the mouth saying lampard would be a disaster when his record to date isn't bad at all

Expected it but dissapointed to be honest. Think it’s a very short sighted and easy appointment for DK.

I don’t think either acts were impulsive. Any other manager produces our form over 30 games and loses 8 of our last 12 home games would probably warrant the sack. Our loyalty to Robins is admirable, but it is a possibility that was holding us back. That’s not a view I personally hold, but I’m open minded to that possibility.
Using this forum as a barometer, there were 3 threads asking the question of Robins in or out before the axe was swung. Which is never a good sign for any manager.

Extremism is you telling people they should leave the forum if he does well.

I think Doug will have needed to invest in Jan anyways but definitely will now, midfield depth looks very bare when Sheaf and Eccles are out

Was this in the distant past, or this weekend at Tescos arena while Frank was getting his meal deal?

I didn't tell him to. If you could read properly I asked him if he would be. A question not a statement.

New manager will come in and say the kind of players he wants in and who is surplus I imagine.

As much as I’d like to say it was yesterday in town with them wearing CCFC scarves, it was about 5 years ago..

Were the lights on ?
He was at the CBS yesterday apparently
Id have no issue with Lampard being appointed. Always talks well, bright, hungry, articulate. I remember reading over the summer that when doing euros coverage how he really impressed other pundits with his analysis etc.

Whether he’s the right fit for us, who knows, but if he is appointed he deserves the fans backing and some time to get the team sorted (another gelling period
)
Gary Lineker and Micah Richards name shock England icon as potential Southgate replacement
Lineker: 🗣️ ‘I think players would respect him immensely.’ He definitely wouldn't be everyone's first choice 😬

I just cannot fathom in anyway that Lampard will be at the presser tomorrow. King is feeding himself to the wolves albeit in a very controlled manner. Taking Lampard or any other potential manager into that environment to introduce him to the fans would be nonsensical. Would put Lampard on the back foot immediately.
If it were me I would front up tomorrow, answer questions, let it be digested for a few days and look to announce the new manager later in the week or early next week.

As much as King is potentially stupid for doing what he did, I’m sure he’s not stupid enough to know that a new manager will want some kind of backing in January.
He’ll be aware that anyone will come in and make some changes to the playing side of things that they are not happy with. I imagine this means we’ll be doing some Jan transfer business.

Or, he is revealed from behind the curtain at the end of the evening, after fans have been scratching their heads all night, wondering whose shoes have been sticking out from the bottom.

Brilliant let’s get lampard in because he’s a good pundit. Might as well try Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher too
It was his analysis of the games that impressed the others. Not the fact he’s a good pundit

You and other members of this forum aren't appointing a new manager.
