Hope we don't just become a team dependent on loans again. Would be nice to get a few rising stars permanently.

And so will I, as I have said numerous times. Doesn't mean I can't be underwhelmed.

Was waiting for someone to bring up something like this, which is nonsense. Fans want us to win every game no matter who is in charge. People can express their disappointment, doesn't mean we want the team to lose or be happy if we do. Silly.

Because it seems to that name won over substance here. He's hardly set the managerial world alight in the past. He is more of a manager than a head coach. Seems mad to jettison stability for such a underwhelming appointment. Ive no doubt this was nailed on from the moment Robins was sacked.

And you need a new avatar.

Personally, it just seems like an easy way out. The original statement said we'd take our time and do the job properly. The fact King mentioned him last Monday was odd. If asked by a journo, owners are usually coy and discreet, not him. I'll support him like I have every other manager, but...

Hope it works out for US.

Fingers crossed. Sleep time now. Hopefully wake up to better news.

You don't get rid of stability and loyalty for a punt on a "name". Unless you're King that is.

But not rowing back on the family ties thing. Makes zero difference if it's King or Austin, it's dodgy and should have zero influence on selecting our next manager. We want the best man for the job, not just a fancy name with the right connections. Stinks, if true.

Ha, even you know it's fucking dodgy, if true.

King, close ties to the Redknapp family should mean fuck all. Any appointment should be on his merits as a manager not on who his fucking relatives are. Fucking prick.

<ring, ring> "Doug, it's Harry. The Manager's job. Give it to Frank". "OK".

I just hope against hope this is bullshit. Surely King wouldn't be dumb enough to hire Lampard based solely on family connections?

Yep, we'll lose our identity now, our Club will be prefixed with "Frank Lampard's" on every website, newspaper article and TV show. All the hard work of MR and AV pissed up the wall with a vanity appointment by our clueless owner.

If true, I'm dejected. A totally disappointing and uninspiring choice. So much for King's nonsense about taking our time and getting the appointment right. He went with the "name".

And then you ignore the above and give it to your mate's nephew...

Beat me to it.

So uninspiring though.

Fucking hell. King prefers Lampard (not a head coach) because of "his ties to the Redknapp family". He's a fucking idiot.
