Don't get the stepping stone logic at all. So what if they do see us as a stepping stone? They would have to get us in the top 6 and probably promoted to gain the interest of the types of jobs they presumably want to step to.
I think by that point the writing was on the wall and DK probably didn't want to hand out a contract he might have to terminate within a fortnight.
I suspect he was going to be sacked if we lost v Luton. It's somewhat unpalatable to sack a manager after a win.
I think most foreign (european) leagues are generally a better place for developing the skills needed to be a head coach/manager than league one and two.
I think Lampard has a chance of working out, but if it doesn't then at least it will be entertaining, that's what I'm saying.
By unknown foreign coach I mean someone in the mould of Thomas Frank, Regis Le Bris, Iraola, Hurzeler.
He's not coming back.
I also think Lampard might have the best chance of hitting the ground running, his profile should mean he gets the respect of the players from day 1, someone like Bloomfield might have some skepticism directed at him.
