If it is Lampard, King wouldn’t not have got rid of Robins unless it was a done deal with Frank or someone else. Would be a massive high risk strategy not to have a new person lined up.
I’m looking at the jigsaw here and some of the rumours. If Robins wanted the assistant the ex QPR guy and it was entertained but turned down, I reckon there’s scope for Lampard to bring at least 1 with him.
