Bloomfield is less proven than Lampard

I agree with much of this. I do think we need to get back to playing people in their best positions and trying to have greater consistency of formation and team selection. Players thrive on confidence and on developing a collective understanding. At the moment I can only see 2 partnerships on...

Hardly an insight is it. Most managers don’t last 2 years. Fans want attractive football and success, owners are frightened of the economic costs of failure.

FL was excellent. He’s all about standards and intensity and some of our players will step up and some won’t make the cut, but I think we need that drive.

Have we been linked with him anywhere ??

Spoke well. Ambitious, humble and respectful to Robins.

Spot on. Frank can’t tell the boys that they have a fresh start and then tell the press he wants a new left back and centre half after a short training session. Im sure he will have watched previous matches and have views but I don’t blame him for not telling us what they are yet.

I’m not missing your point @clint van damme i do defend King a lot. I do it because I think he’s been a power of good for our club. We did not have a string of credible buyers looking to buy the club. If he had not bought us when he did I have no doubt SiSU would have sold Vik and possibly...

I don’t think I would have unless I’d subsequently read up on the person and got comfortable with the logic myself. I didn’t want Frank initially but rather than stay ignorant I decided to find out more about him, his work ethic, coaching philosophy etc and now I think he’s worth a shot, in...

I think writing someone off because they used to be a world class player is frankly silly. FL’s track record is mixed. So was Marks before he rejoined us.

Yes we should have gone for someone no one had heard of and paid them peanuts. A sure fire recipe for success …..

Work towards next season but hope for a late charge to the play offs

Because he’s not Franks Boss, he’s his peer.

I would imagine he walked Frank over to the gym to introduce him to the staff and players. it would have been odd if Frank has just wandered in himself …..

Pep, Ancelotti,

Is there a bbc CWR phone in tonight ? Or a That Cov Pod ?

Very true. We were not aware of the context at that point.

I’m no Im not sure this is quite right. MR was not fired because of the first 9 or 14 matches. He was fired because our league form was very mixed last year, he fell out with Adi and was not prepared to try and repair the relationship, he put in place an inexperienced coaching structure below...

Give it time. He will be blamed for something soon I’m sure, almost credibly not something he is accountable for.

If you listen to the fans forum again King confirms that loans are allowable under their transfer approach ( as are experienced players ) and Austin explains why they can be difficult to get right. There is no suggestion from either that we didn’t try to get the right loans or experienced...
