He’s just another wanna be ITK - easy to chuck enough shit and when some sticks claim you “knew”. Lampard story such easy narrative to pedal. it may be him, but sounds like actually we are being quite thorough.

What a gent. He looks so much better than he has done and sounded better. wish him nothing but success next, and sure will be following his new team closely.

Again, if people think DK won't bother interviewing new manager and has just left process to others, get your head out the sand. Come on.

Carsley been backed in again 2nd fav. all bit odd, imagine will still be FL. Just seems odd to drag it out.

Remains one of my biggest regrets with city that night - we were flying that season. Great team. Remember choosing which area of old Trafford we would aim to get tickets at HT! that Moldovan header - we were right behind it - ffs. we would have beaten Newcastle was sure of it, Arsenal, maybe...

Can only imagine delay is down to money/coaching set up. does seem odd as we would have had idea surely.

Great post. been staggered by people trying to claim MR wasn’t this or that. Just be thankful the last 7 years happened, what a journey. We don’t have to find fault with anyone. most love affairs don’t end on happy note, this no different. Those 7 years, especially the last couple will be...

Ffs.

Anyone peddling IE good god - that would making Eustace > Rooney look sensible

Id leave Collins in goal for one thing. Did well enough at Sunderland to keep place, and frankly a goalkeeper missing a game because a ball hit him in the face....... Think we have to utilise 3 up top with HW injury - likely Tats,Simms,EMC then just defend better!!!

People have to realise a 7 year tenure will likely never happen again. Any new manager has a flight risk, average tenure of jobs currently 11 months. Whether successful or not, we are likely doing this again within 2 years.

Has anyone got any in depth thinking on RVN to show if he's a good coach/manager - Big name apart....I haven't seen a lot.

Hes under pressure and rightly so, after making the biggest decision at our club in recent history - this will define him. Broadly so far however, ignoring MR, he's done far more good than bad. And I actually thought he spoke generally well on Monday, have to take at face value. He knows this...

We had tax bill due on top of pitch if I remember correctly. Also think we had turned down offer for him earlier in summer, just shows how desperate and what a mess we were in. so all these people getting onto DK - careful what you want………

Exactly this - top 2 probably Leeds and SU. Then you've got absolute bun fight for top 4 - no one is running away, look at Sunderland last week, bang average to me. However, we do need to start putting run together quick sharp. Fixtures after Burnley are quite kind for new manager also.

People talking like the season is over. The league’s wide open, for play offs especially. IF we get a bounce and sort the team out we could easily out run together and storm up league. plenty of time.

He’s a horrible bloke. So arrogant, had pleasure of coming up against him years ago - nothing nice to say on him.

You heard anything at all @Saddlebrains / any further fallout after MR going?

We’ve got enough to worry about. 2 great players, especially hamer, given me some life memories. it’s football how they left, move on. Give them a clap at end of game.

Lampard is everything we don’t want, just name with no substance. He also had success at derby utilising expensive high calibre loans - again everything we don’t do now. Lampard following arguably our greatest manager would just be so deflating, disappointing and almost feels like last 7 years...
