Frank Lampard Rumours (18 Viewers)

[Nick]

Couldn’t be clearer here “I’m not a manager, I’m a coach”. With that he should fit into our system.

And if nothing else, he’s a great speaker

Yeah but he's a manager because people are still sad and bitter about robins

The most disappointing thing for me, is that there were rumours about Lampard being thrown around before Robins was sacked. IT's clearly been in the works for a while.

Lorna Bailey should be happy then. She seemed furious that King hadn’t gone behind Robins’ back

Were there?

 

[PVA]

Who is interviewing the candidates?

Given Doug admits he knows little about the game will it be him ?

The interview:

Hi Frank
Hi Doug, good to see you again.
You too. When can you start?

 

[ptr]

Why are people writing him off already ffs? Same people that will try and create a hostile atmosphere at the ground when we go a goal down or misplace a pass.

Give him a chance ffs. Some of the newer fans have been proper spoilt last few years.

It’s embarrassing

Thanks for sharing, just listening to this now. Interesting that he describes himself as a Coach and not a Manager which is the opposite of how he's been talked about on here.

Great insight this

Why are people writing him off already ffs?

Because he's not "Mark" who would have got us promoted this year even though we wasted a third of the season.

Dr Claire, and she doesn't want anyone with an ego

Oh that, thought there had been more than he is a contender.

 

[Bertola]

Were there?

There were a few. I remember dismissing them as we wouldn't be stupid enough to sack Robins.... As soon as he was gone, I was concerned

 

[JSL]

I have changed my vote from Meh to Yes after getting over these last few weeks

Me too

Great article on Frank Frank Lampard To Coventry: What Should Supporters Expect? - Deck Original - The Deck

I thought it was a joke URL then, The Deck?! FFS

Definitely written by Dean Austin

 

[David O'Day]

I've gone from Meh to Yeah as well

 

[Sick Boy]

I've gone from Meh to Yeah as well

Same.

 

[Grendel]

People are so obsessed with robins we know what the outcome will be.

Achieve success - would have happened anyway

Dont make the play offs - Robins would

Lose in the play offs - with robins we’d be in the premier league

People on here are just embarrassing

 

[Briles]

Thanks for sharing, just listening to this now. Interesting that he describes himself as a Coach and not a Manager which is the opposite of how he's been talked about on here.

Interesting when he said he needs to be better at not trying to oversee everything and needs to delegate things more. Sounds ideal for what Doug wants

 

[Badge72]

Keeno’s odds dropped sharply

 

[David O'Day]

Same.

As the RVN stuff was it seems bollocks he's the best option we know so unless one of the other shortlisted is a elite european tactician

Shame new show has reviewed badly

Can someone do a tl:dr for those of us working?

That was just pushed by people who, based on nothing, wanted our manager to have an accent

The crushing irony

 

[mmttww]

Not convinced Frank Lampard would have got any of the jobs he's had so far if he wasn't Frank Lampard.

This confused me for a second

Footballs always been a bit like that though to be fair. For instance would Mark of got the job back with how he left and how Scunthorpe had gone if he wasn’t good friends with Tim Fisher

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Seems as though a few of us (including me) have gone from meh to yeah. As the dust has settled and we know Robins isnt coming back, yes Lampard has a bit of tarnish on his name but he took a break and has good knowledge and is a coach and looks to play the way a lot of us want to see and think suits the squad best.
I will be reserving my judgement on him till the end of the season get behind him and we all have to give him time because you never know we’ve seen it before where managers fail until they reach the right club who’s to say we’re not the right club

He saved Fergies Job dont ya know!

Also his reputation will give us a small boost and maybe better players may be attracted to play under a legend of the game for a club with potential to be at the top

I said this to my mate earlier, he will get a tune out of Eccles purely because he's super frank
