Of course we wanted him in or at least I did to save from the first relegation,it was impressive watching those names tripping off commentators tongues back then!

No but as I've said these people have atleast been correct on many things

Some of them have been correct on some things yes.
But knowing who we're signing or letting go etc. is very different from claiming to know the personalities of players. One is a fact, the other is just one person's opinion.
Apologies got left behind here, thought we were talking about Allardyce not Lampard!🫣🫣

What’s unbelievable about them knowing who doesn’t get on behind the scenes?

He knows its a possibility to find out these things, he just wants to argue

if Mike Ashley puts a word in, could be worse...

Because unless you're there on a daily basis you're just getting someone else's opinion, who's likely biased and probably disgruntled themselves if they're talking shite about squad members to someone external.

It's odd, as good as they are on here about banning any sloths that appear they do nothing about all the sealions.

Well yes we're a far bigger club mate so he'd probably want to chat

No, Freddy Shepherd hired him and a few weeks later Ashley took control
Freddy Shepherd never actually wanted to sell NUFC but had the rug pulled under his feet by Sir John Hall who sold all his shares to Ashley, who was then obliged to bid for the rest
Big Sam said on under the cosh podcast had Ashley not taken over he’d have done really well at Newcastle

The betting odds are completely irrelevant, no idea what you're going on about.
Way too much say on what ?

I am familiar with the difference. It would be a bit disappointing if I didn’t after 45 years practising corporate law
Doug King is the sole director. It doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have people around him who offer advice, even though they are not directors.

The market for “Next Coventry Manager” will be so ridiculously small, that any amount of money placed on someone will guarantee them a place on the list. I really wouldn’t place any credence on it.
I could bung £50 on John Bond, and he would be 2nd favourite in a hour*
*I’m not going to

Our pool of potential managers is about a hundred times bigger than United’s. Much harder to predict.
Either way, the betting odds mean nothing. They’re just a reflection of the money in the market.

I may have reading too much of this thread, but maybe Lampard wouldn’t be the worst option??
His best days maybe behind him, but he’s no worse an option than Matty James.

Can’t be right. I’ve already had £100 on him and he hasn’t appeared.

My bet is our new first team coach will be someone who went through C-M Roberts coach development program at the PL

Before or after the Portuguese press reported that United were going to meet his release clause?

Why do you think Bloomfield is favourite? Because of the Guardian article saying there’s been an approach. There’s nearly always some kind of substance to the possibility, so obviously the odds get shorter as people lump on.
My point is that I’m finding it fuckinghard to think of a better manager than Robins.. one that we can afford and would be interested in the job.

He seems the 'new' type of Manager/ Coach it seems DK wants in place. Someone who leads from the front in using his laptop during a game, to go with all the assistants also using their laptops. Part of me really hates modern football!

This is slightly facetious as I know he’s only the interim and whatever but there is something very funny about the current England manager being seen as a non-inspiring appointment.

Tbf, England have been shite in the games he's managed and who actually watches the Under 21s games? I can't see him giving up the U21s job to come to us anyway.
Aidy Boothroyd was U21s manager, I'd never have him back in a million years.
