He could be so good for us

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Wouldn't pay him the wages

I’m sure Robins said before that Hamer told him on the coac after the playoff final he was off

Frank Lampard Leads the Race as Coventry City Face Managerial Reset

Frank Lampard and Steve Cooper in the race to become the manager of the Coventry City club, as the team eyes for a new manager after the departure of Mark Robins. Fans prefer Lampard as the top choice but Cooper is being preferred by Doug King.

Yes cos saddle isn't bias lol

Yes cos saddle isn't bias lol

I see this a lot. Am I going mad? It's a few times now.

Not trying to be the English language police. Just doubting myself to be honest.

It's biased isn't it? You show bias. And if you show bias, you are biased

Seen a few posts lately using "bias" instead of "biased."

Been thinking I have been going mad.

To be fair would Hamer on the way back from Wembley know what the club would offer? Assume that would of happened afterwards

 

[Grendel]

He said this

"All i know is the initial reason peddled through pre season was the family in Holland situation for not signing.

It seems then that MR has seen through that a couple of weeks back after his agent starts banging on about how he can get 45k in the prem.......head turned etc.

MR felt strung along, but also has the final say on whether to let him go or not. So it says to me he feels with 15 million he can replace with who he wants "

 

[Gibbo]

That's it

And Doug isn't averse to it

But how does that then leave what's in place? Carr doesn't deserve to be kicked does he?

Would he fit in amongst Cole and Morris for example?

Would Dempster be back with youth or gotten rid of?

That's the hold ups evidently

Comment from my neighbour on Saturday looking across towards the dugout. "We already have a lot of coaching staff now. Too many" she said.

We can't absorb without removing some. It would be tough on Carr, and on the players having to handle a second change in months

Thanks for that insight into your neigbour's views

Yes that’s what I thought. I thought Hamer was more of a stringing us along and it was the COH deal where we didn’t offer him the wages he wanted.

Not mad, just bias.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I’m sure Robins said before that Hamer told him on the coac after the playoff final he was off

He said everyone knew he would be leaving on the coach after the play off final. Comes across to me as a reactionary thing to say and I didn't take that as Gus had directly told everyone on the coach he didn't want to be their and was intending to leave.
I think Robins and most people at the clubs immediate thought after the play off would be that Hamer would move on but were still hoping he wouldn't.

Same as all fans initial reactions were that Gus and Gyokeres would likely be off.

 

[clint van damme]

I'll be amazed if Carr leaves.

 

[skybluecam]

If you're going down the Lampard route then getting Cole and Morris in too is a positive surely.

They can still work within the current structure.

SHOW ME THE MONEY DOUG

 

[Gibbo]

I suspect it was the 'She says' bit that really pissed you off

More bodies though, meaning more cash.
I'd like to see them here but also agree with King keeping a close eye on the purse strings

Hopefully a compromise is reached

In my head he stormed right onto the coach, bollocked everyone for being shit and said he’s not wasting anymore time with a load of cucks. Making extra eye contact with Dabo and Panzo.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Is Ashley Cole a defensive coach I’m assuming? Could do with him in.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I'll be amazed if Carr leaves.

That would be a bad decision in light of recent performances.

0% win ratio, sign him up Doug!

Nowt wrong with our defence.

It's very friendly and accommodating

No, you're quite correct.

 

[fernandopartridge]

The woman who lives next door to me has refuted that comment

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Perhaps it could be Lampard as Head, Morris as Assistant. Cole defense, Boateng Midfield, Williams Goalkeeper and Rhys Carr whatever he does (attackers?) with Dempster and Delaney dropping to the academy or becoming assistant assistants

 

[Flying Fokker]

Carr and Boateng stay, Dempster and Delaney go back to youth team and Lampard brings two new coaching staff with him.
Doesn't seem like rocket science

But what about the’ too many coaches’ mantra?

And Uncle Tom Cobley and all

that one has now been completely discarded by the fanbase following the revelation that Robins initiated the change in structure

 

[covcity4life]

No, you're quite correct.

Maybe your only agreeing with him because you are biased?

 

[Stevenage_sky_blue]

Dear Doug

Just get the bloody deal with Frank done and announced so that I can start the healing process and try to move on.

Kind regards

A Mark Robins fan boy
