No it’s not, at least Eccles will try, and that goes a long way in this league. MVE tossing it off every game is a great example of why we are in our current predicament. He should be sold on 1st January.

If he learned to pass the ball he might become a decent defender.

Van Ewijk the best example of the can’t be arsed attitude and thinking he is too good for this league. Uncommitted in the tackle, casual on the ball, epitomising the laziness that resulted in Robins losing his job. The fact that he did 90 minutes shows how few options he have. People criticise...

Lampard’s to do list before Saturday to get us a comfortable 2-0 win: 1. Teach Thomas how to pass. 2. Recall Dovin. 3. Play Sakamoto on the right. 4. Tell Mason-Clark to do the simple stuff right rather than the stepovers. Easy, although I do accept no.1 is a big ask.

We certainly don’t all agree. Rhys Carr should be shown the exit door at the first available opportunity, and take Boateng with him. They are part of the problem, a great example is last night; playing Sakamoto totally out of position for 60+ minutes and standing watching Dasilva get totally...

Surely we won’t do another Andy Thorn - that’s worse than Lampard.

Cricket club has been excellent in the past, decent pint and pies

I hope you are right - personally though, I think Lampard will be too expensive, have too many demands and lose interest quickly. I am actually not disappointed about Robins going, just desperately disappointed that King is focusing on a “friend of a friend” instead of looking for some talent.

In my view it is when you act like one in situations you know nothing about.

By fiasco, I purely mean appointing Lampard, rather than the time taken.

Sadly, in Doug King we have the worst of all worlds, a ruthless businessman (you have to be to get to his position) with no football knowledge who is 100% in charge and is therefore reliant on “advice” from Underling Advisors too afraid to challenge. A great example is the Lampard fiasco: DK...

It’s fair to say that this flatters it!

Odds back on SkyBet now. Lampard 1/10 so looks highly likely, but clinging to the tiny hope it may not be him.

Yep, King owns 100% and I agree, it is more transparent than SISU days.

Sounds a bit like a SISU-type arrangement. Thats exactly what they did until they realised they weren’t able to acquire the freehold.

Very different to continually fund an operating loss than put in initial funding in the first year. I do not believe Doug King is a rich man (in football funding terms anyway), so think it will be a challenge to continually fund operating losses - I hope I am wrong and you are right, but I...

Well, we shall see. I suspect that hole will be plugged by player trading cash surpluses, rather than from Mr King’s pockets.

Doug King has no cash to splash except that generated from the Club.

My money is on Carsley once the England games are out of the way.

It’s a bit strange as neither Sky Sports or FootMob Apps show any Cov players as being booked.
