Frank Lampard Rumours (16 Viewers)

[Evo1883]

All because he sacked Robins?

no because hes not one of the best owners in england ? why would you think he is , thats incredibly odd

yep- Grendel, Nick, Cam and a few others busily attempting to gaslight everyone into thinking Robins was actually a poor manager.

He’s gone and we now have to get behind the new guy, Robins is easily up there as one of the greatest managers in our history. Both of those things are objectively true.

The fuck you on about now?

The only person gaslighting is you, you're shit at it as well.

Spreadsheet says he’s even more glowing about Frank

I’ve got to give it to Grendel. He has you lot on strings constantly. Obsessed.

Born in 72, being a City fan in my lifetime

Is that 72 AD Rob, or BC?

Lampard would only with if Ady came back in. I presume they had the same playing / training / set up mentality from the Chelsea days.

I wonder if any severance deal with Ady would become less costly if he rejoins.

Just thoughts.

Viveash looked after the Chelsea U18 team in the 3 years that coincided with Lampard still being at Chelsea, I doubt they know each other.

 

[Grendel]

I dont want this to turn into another RoS v Grendel as we have enough of those. I appreciate you don't see eye to eye and on this subject my views differ from G's, but let's try and remain objective.

Born in 72, being a City fan in my lifetime, I had some great memories of my 'heroes' in the early 80's when I started going, leading up to the cup final in 87. A large turnover of managers and players followed and bar a couple of seasons as the 'Entertainers' under Strachan, it was a largely turgid affair as we slipped down the leagues. Despite being a lifelong passion, spending thousands travelling about, going a whole season away under Strachan without winning a game, crap owners, never challenging for anything, moving out of the ground etc etc it was tough mentally and financially to keep going. Since the return of MR and the Checkatrade Final, some of the best times, especially as they've been family occasions too, have been great under MR and I'll always look back on the era with fondness.

I'm not that bothered that he's gone, I accept it. I dont particularly want FL but again accept him and will give 100% support. But, to tarnish what we have enjoyed and I'd hope most on this forum were there to share some or all of those days, feels more than a bit mucky, and disingenuous.

Anyhow, working day over, all enjoy your evening.

There is one difference to me and Ring if Shite. Whoever is a manager I’ll be going to games

After Dowie, Before Coleman

Isn't that a contradiction, of sorts?

 

[fernandopartridge]

No

Chelsea has got a massive academy and a large first team squad. Why would Lampard (who was still a first team player back then) even know Viveash?

Never said Robins was poor, greatest manager in my time supporting the club, deserves a statue and everything. Just thought it was time for a change.

 

[Shannerz]

Robins has underperformed significantly over the last 12 months.

Give over. We were crap for the last month and a bit of last season and most of this. That's not a year.

A year would include the great league form from the middle of last season and all of the cup run.

 

[Jimmy87]

Carsley was reported never in for it apparently. Someone has said Evatt is on the shortlist on the other chat.

Carsley wasn't, neither was RVN.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Carsley wasn't, neither was RVN.

Assume RvN was just agent talk?

 

[Calista]

No

Queuing up for seconds at the Christmas do?

 

[Jimmy87]

Yes I was told yesterday both he / Carsley didn't apply, I'd suggest a bit of agent sorcery.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Carsley wasn't, neither was RVN.

HANG ON JMMY87. Does this mean Evatt is

 

[skybluecam]

At this point I’m fairly sure they want to delay until after Sheff Utd and possibly Burnley too. Otherwise it would be done surely?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

There’s an argument either way but I think it’s better to get him working with the players sooner rather than later.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Perhaps the Coventry City job didn’t have as much appeal as some made out…

Depends if Jimmys right, search might of not been as fast as it’s been reported since it would make the shortlist twitter about RVN and Carsley a nonsense

I sense the above too.

It would seem we sat and waited to look through who applied as opposed to identifying someone and going for them. Mistake number one

Not that I'm aware. I'd say it was always Lampard.

Breaking my heart Jim . Any update on Lampard and if we can expect to hear something soon?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

It is an attractive job, but the talk on here that there would be hundreds of top class applicants was always garbage.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I’d say if every job in the championship was available, we would be around 10th most appealing

 

[skybluecam]

Shockingly not every job in the championship is available

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Shockingly not every job in the championship is available

Yes mate that is why it’s hypothetical and not factual

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Doesn’t sound like the club has decided who they want yet if this can believed. Hope is it’ll be done by Sheffield.

Frank Lampard is a leading contender to become Coventry's next manager

The former Chelsea and England midfielder is firmly in the thoughts of owner Doug King though is not the sole candidate, with at least one other boss interviewed at the start of this week.

Which means there’s still a chance…

Which puts us around 30th in England. Not bad going considering the absolute basket case we were 8 years ago.

You must be mistaken Jimmy, it's been a completely open process.

 

[skybluecam]

You must be mistaken Jimmy, it's been a completely open process.

I was pretty sure it would be Lampard the minute King actually said his name in that interview. Odd thing to do otherwise.
