His reference to the numbers of midfielders we had, seemingly without any appreciation of the different types of midfielders, was depressing.

I’ll be supporting whoever gets the job, because as fans we don’t have a choice. Unless you’re the type that posted threads calling for Robins’ head 10 games into the season. There hasn’t been a name mentioned over the last week that I’d prefer over keeping Robins and doing whatever it took to...

Anger among the Coventry hierarchy, who thought they'd have their pick of new managers, even those with Premier League options?

It's a gin and Dubonnet

Lampard is posh?

Sure it wasn't 'our Frank'?

Having told the world that he had applied, making it incredibly awkward to reject him. Looked like a done deal from that moment tbh.

You got away lightly really

PUSB

btw ppl RVN's USP is his KNVB Cup win and TBF IIRC he did OK @ PSV IMHO

What's wrong with Wilfred Bramble?

He's aged more than I thought

Spivs the lot of 'em 🤣

So if I've got this right, King has friendly connections to the Lampards / Redknapps, and has let the world know that Frank has applied for the job. But he's running this recruitment process professionally with a completely open mind, and wouldn't find it at all awkward to give the job to...

That's fairer. I based what I said on two words you used 😂

Ah, he's coming back to me now! He obviously had enough talent to get a taste of League football, and I think many people grossly underestimate what a phenomenal achievement that is in itself. But like so many youth players, he must then have fallen a little short of the extreme demands. Let's...

Or Finch!

Moyes would certainly be a far more solid choice than most of the names mentioned. But isn't he more of a manager than the elite 'head coach' King seems to want?

OK you say he spent money on transfers and improving Ryton which is great and I don't dispute it (although it's widely accepted the efforts to complete the squad in the summer fell short and left gaps). But you also say he 'got the staff he wanted', and that seems to be disputed. If the only...

Where someone lives is only a small factor to consider, but I don't get why people thinks it's completely irrelevant. All other things being equal, would it be better if the Head Coach was settled happily long term in the area, or commuting from afar, spending a lot of time way from home/family...
