If Carr gets something tomorrow i can see Doug waiting on it a little while longer. If it carries on Carr i imagine will want a crack it permanently. That im not sure is our answer but i could see a club lower down the leagues would give him a go.

At this point, unless Cooper absolutely wants the job, there isn't much good in approaching him. Assuming we are in 'advanced talks' with Lampard, if we mess him about to talk to a manager who may not want the job and end up getting neither, we'll look like right idiots.

Sounds like a good summary of our attempts to bag a CM last summer.

Exactly my line of thinking. At this point, I'd rather just go out and get Lampard and if he does shit, a bunch of other Prem/Champ managers will be available to take stock then.

If Cooper didn't want the job and Lampard felt jilted, then who do we go for!? The 'anyone but Lampard' brigade could end up looking really silly if we have to give it to Rhys Carr for the whole season because there's no viable candidates.

I’d say that the ‘not to worry too much about Lampard, there’s plenty more managers in the sea if he is poor’ approach to the appointment is the recipe for disaster.
We need to make sure that this manager fits the plan that King et al have for the club and that he is then given the time to succeed.
Anyone who has followed this club since top flight relegation knows that the hire and fire approach to football management just does not work.
I think Robins should still be here and in charge. As he’s gone, King needs to make sure that his successor works.

What, an actual head coach with decent knowledge of the Championship and who got a team actually promoted?

Pfft, go for the big name manager, Doug, and we'll all pretend we weren't listening when you were banging on about "existing structures"...

If Cooper is interested I'd take him certainly. Good coach of youth, decent track record, knows the league, bags of experience but still relatively young. Ticks a lot of boxes if he sees us as a project. Wages could be an issue but I doubt we'd be paying FL buttons.

If it carries on? What? Carrying on drawing? He's only interim managed 2 games plus he's said he doesn't want the job - it'd be an absolute disaster if Carr was made manager permanently ffs

Picks up phone to agent who says yes were interested and this is our terms or says no, Frank not messed around. Any negotiations with either of them can be conducted through zoom or teams and neither party needs to be aware. The sticking point is not who would be suitable but how much regime change is going to cost and demands for budgets in January and going forward. It just needs sorting so the new man can make assessments of the squad and decide if we stick with what we have this season and then have a massive push next and gets backed in the summer. Doug's finding out what a crack pot business football is at the minute, we are a club with huge potential and promise but football is full of self promoters who want to know what's in it for them, to his credit Robins was always club first and that's why it will be a difficult for King to choose the right man. He needs to be the very best judge of character as he wants someone who wants to be part of a journey that can see a bigger picture.

The managers without experience may do well for a period but then they run out of ideas - you need someone who has watched the game with experience - that may be through playing but some management experience is necessary as the main job involves dealing with the individual players on a day to day basis

I thought Cooper fitted in well with Leicester's fan base being as they’re all so fecking ugly, but here he would stick out like a sore thumb with our good looking fans… (not including the mad hatters of course) :cool:
