Right who's the next manager then? (34 Viewers)

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Happens at Chelsea and they always winning

Watford did it too and always seemed to be in promotion mix for years?

May work for us may not. No way of telling for now

I read an article on Watford that was saying that they hire managers to hit a specific target - once he does, they move on to the next target with another manager.

they go off the statistics show managers rarely go past 2 years anyway. So they work on that premise.

2 years? They rarely last 2 months at Watford. Shambles.

I suppose anyone working there knows what they’ve signed up for. As for CCFC, just because some clubs enjoy spending more on sacking managers than they do signing players, doesn’t mean we have to copy them.

Basically they’ve got 2 years to hit a
Target, if they’re way off the pace then Watford chop them.

if cleverly gets them promoted it wouldn’t surprise me if they sacked him

How many managers have they given 2 years to?
And how many managers are they still paying?

Cov manager odds gone from SkyBet. Probably coincidence

 

[Robccfc87]

Beat me too it!!

Is this the reason?

The contracts aren’t long. I’d imagine they’ve got loads of opt outs as it were and probably pay quite highly in return

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Yup all betting halted.

 

[shmmeee]

Ah fuck it’s frank isn’t it?

 

[Chris1987]

Nothing on oddschecker either

 

[procdoc]

Does this mean an announcement is imminent?

 

[usskyblue]

[Otis]

Ah fuck it’s frank isn’t it?

Even though a couple of people on here said it's definitely RVN, from excellent sources?

"Ah fuck, it's Frank" could be the new City tagline and we can chant it every game.

If it's Lampard, it's Lampard. Doesn't instill me with any confidence at all, but nowt we can do about it. We just have to back him and the team and hope it works out for him.

Its so meh though (if correct) especially if its the case that its a vanity project by Doug based on the fact he is a name and Doug knows people who know him.

Frank Lampard sky blue army

 

[b12345]

Everything that United source reported was confirmed by The Telegraph report today so he's probably pretty reliable.

 

[Chris1987]

If its Lampard just back him . So many on here dissing the appointment but solely doing that and not providing a constructive alternative. . But hey let's just criticise.

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Astonishing if we have replaced a manager with 7 years of proven success with us with one with multiple failures.
Just don't understand and hope I am proven very wrong if this happens.

 

[shmmeee]

Frank Lampard sky blue army

Doesn’t even scan FFS

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Lampards*

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Oh please no, not Lampard.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Apparently Doug is still considering RVN

 

[b12345]

Don't rate Lampard but there's really nothing to suggest that RvN would be much better. The only thing he has over him is that he doesn't have those failures on his CV yet. Would've gone for Skubala or Selles personally

What does Skubala have over either of them

It’s about time we stopped looking at league 1 for players or coaches

 

[SBAndy]

Funny name.

The talk of both Skubala and Seles is weird. Neither statistically seem to have their sides playing in a way that would suit our squad…well, in fairness not entirely true of Selles as his team leaks goals.

 

[The watchmaker]

I tell you what I find crazy. You have grown adults on here saying they don't want a manager who will do well because he'll leave first chance he gets

And then also saying they don't want a manager who plays good football because they don't think that style will keep us up in the prem

I mean fucking hell just focus on somehow getting promotion first will you???????

The problem is that a lot of people are saying that this season is a total write off and that the new manager would do well to finish 10th. So if we are appointing primarily looking at next season and you think the manager is likely to leave after 6 good months then what is the point in appointing them?

Not a big chance that someone's gonna leave after 6 months though is there?

[Ccfcisparks]

Hope this is more accurate

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Look how much more handsome Ruud is than Frank

Honestly, modern football that is about the standard no? Tbh though you are right that it shouldn't be considered a major factor. You want someone invested in the long term but there is no guarantee anyone will stay.

I got a little over-excited last night. I'll be fine with whoever. Out of RvN and Lamps obviously the latter has the greater successes but also the greater failures. Jury is out on both for me but let's hope they can prove themselves with us.
