I could be wrong, but I believe that Sorba Thomas has also played at RWB as well, so this signing would add cover for two positions either RWB or as a RW, I do think we need cover so I’d be happy with it.

no it wouldn’t, and genuine question @MalcSB and @Littlewood CCFC - I haven’t heard anything but given the assumption Lampard would’ve taken the job on the guarantee of funds and the ability to add to the team (might not be true, but I can’t imagine it isn’t) it’s a bit of a worry if it’s now the case there are no pennies in the pot to do so…..

I’m not insinuating anything, just asking the question

frank said he’d had several honest and open conversations with Doug prior to joining. He will have been 100% aware exactly what will and won’t be available to him

So is this another league one/relegated to league 1 player?

Certainly building a strong side to compete for the league 1 title in a couple of years time.

Genuine question back at you - do you honestly believe anyone on here knows about funds or the details of financial backing promised to Frank Lampard ?

no, as I’m pretty sure I didn’t say ‘there is conflict between DK and Frank’ - I asked the question based on the suggestion there is now no money available whereas a couple of weeks ago there apparently was which, if true, would frustrate me if I were in Frank’s shoes and faced with the current situation

not sure that’s any different to asking a question about transfer rumours, is it??

No, he's just asking a question. But your King alarm went off and you were straight in defending your hero from a perceived slight that was actually nothing of the sort!

Click to expand...

fair point, and genuine answer, possibly yes, but I wasn’t asking about what funds were available (even though the suggestion was there were funds and now there aren’t), or what financial backing was promised or otherwise

my question was whether there were any suggestions of friction

I knew there were issues between DK and MR, and in fact suggested on here as much a day or so before Robins went, so on that basis I do believe there would be people who know or hear of any disagreements etc.

To be clear I haven’t, and don’t profess to have heard anything, merely asking the question based on the information posted

I think FL.wanted a job to get him back into football at a decent level because like Rooney of he doesn't do a good job I doubt if he will get a another job as a coach.

Can only pass on what I'm told. Lampard was told be would be backed, money available. Guess we'll find out come the end of the window. We obviously always should jump at a chance to turn a profit with less prolific players like Lati regardless, FFP and all. I don't think it means it must be one in one out, pretty sure we are okay in that department.

There were rumours doing the rounds yesterday that there was no cash available other than through sales which is probably why people are asking questions.
No idea if true or not and don't really care.

Of the many things I'm critical of King for, not spanking his own personal fortune isn't one of them.

I didn't hear any of that, like you I do not care as such.
I just always ask the question come transfer window time, if there is money available, as people ask me.

I agree, having heard and seen for myself what has been done behind the scenes, to make changes and bring in extra investment, I can't discredit him for that.
He's far from gotten everything right, in times of turbulence like recent weeks, I guess we'll see what he's made of.

I did say what's changed because 2 weeks ago you said there would be funds, he just said that's what he was told directly yesterday by a 'higher up'
