    CCFC announcement today

    On the contrary, I think he could really improve Sheaf, Rudoni & Eccles. He's had 3 jobs. 2 of those clubs were basket cases at the time but he kept Everton up and got Chelsea into Europe (under a transfrer embargo). Derby made the play off final in his one season. He's a smart bloke, was a...

    Mark Robins Comments

    King was in a hard position. To be fair to him, he let Viveash leave quietly in the summer, and backed Robins to bring in his new coaching team. He had months of keyboard warriors saying that he was going behind Robins back, forced Adi out and slapped a new coaching structure down.

    Mark Robins Comments

    Robins is distrustful of the media. There were run ins with Turner at the CET. His post match interviews on CWR were rambling match reports When he's asked more pressing questions, injury updates, performance levels or transfer business he shuts it down immediately, with short, snappy answers...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    RVN is the sexy appointment, but also dangerous. Will he adapt to managing in the Championship? Will he really buy into CCFC and its ambitions? No doubt ,if he's even semi successful, he'd be off. Lampard would be a more solid appointment. Managed in the Championship before, and would need to...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    If any applicant has suggested this, then bin him off immediately. We can beat both of these playing at our best.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    I'd prefer Carlsey, but would be happy with Lampard too. I don't think either of these two would be interested in at least 70% of Championship clubs (Preston, Millwall, QPR, Sheff Weds, Stoke etc etc) We are on an upward trajectory, with a talented squad.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley all day long. remember…. Rooney Roy Keane Staam Gerrard Scholes Tony Adams Stuart Pearce Ruud Guillett Big players, all failed as managers. RVN is a wild card and Lampard has one more chance otherwise he’s done.

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job

    No to RVN...Like Lampard, he's a name, but the Dutch tend to be quite authoritarian in management, and he'll fall out with players. Also he's coached at Man U and PSV, The Championship is a different beast. At least Lampard has had experience in this league before. Still would prefer...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    He took over a team and ethos built by Nathan Jones to be fair. Did well to get them up (just) to the Premier League, Relegated (in the end quite easily) and is now in freefall.

    Mason-Clark

    4-3-3 v Sheff Utd then? Mason Clark Simms & Sakamoto.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley will be the man. He has to honor the remaining U21 games hence the delay in announcing.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    The way this has played out, points towards Carsley for me. He would have had a commitement for the Nov England U21s games, so it couldn't be announced before then. No way King sacks Robins without a target lined up. King said he had to take action now (sacking Robins), but then leaves...

    Haji Wright injury

    Out until Feb then, and won't probably feature much before March building back to fitness. Just in time to fire us into the play offs. We do have 3 strikers who can fill in, and Mason-Clark who could probably do a job there too, but damn. Wright was really looking dangerous playing through the...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Doesn’t need to move Better owner More finance (probably) Strong squad stranger things have happened

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    We do have a good squad. Certainly capable of promotion, with a couple of shrewd January signings. There was a feeling that King had already decided on the new man, both before and after the Fans Forum, but 48 hours later no announcement. If we really are looking through the applicant CVs...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Is Marco Silva good? Was crap at Everton (when they actually had some good players). Has had an awful lot of money at Fulham, but has not done anything special. Relegation, promotion, mid table but then next season probably relegation, as their arc normally goes. What about the Aberdeen guy...

    Don't agree. Haji Wright, MVE and Sakamoto could definately step up. In terms of players already established here too, Ben Sheaf

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    The King bombshell has changed everything. Fair play to King for revealing the reasons in front of the fans, staying quiet over the last 5 days. Noble, but still a bizarre decision. I can’t believe he’s being untruthful with the bare honesty of the reasons. However, there was little warmth to...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Cooper - NO. His football is dour, and he'll be bitter having lost a premier league job. Martin - Has a whiff or arrogance about him. He annoyed me last season going to the fans before kick off to clap them. I'd have him over Cooper. However, it will be neither of these two
