    Right who's the next manager then?

    Doesn’t need to move Better owner More finance (probably) Strong squad stranger things have happened

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    We do have a good squad. Certainly capable of promotion, with a couple of shrewd January signings. There was a feeling that King had already decided on the new man, both before and after the Fans Forum, but 48 hours later no announcement. If we really are looking through the applicant CVs...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Is Marco Silva good? Was crap at Everton (when they actually had some good players). Has had an awful lot of money at Fulham, but has not done anything special. Relegation, promotion, mid table but then next season probably relegation, as their arc normally goes. What about the Aberdeen guy...

    Don't agree. Haji Wright, MVE and Sakamoto could definately step up. In terms of players already established here too, Ben Sheaf

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    The King bombshell has changed everything. Fair play to King for revealing the reasons in front of the fans, staying quiet over the last 5 days. Noble, but still a bizarre decision. I can’t believe he’s being untruthful with the bare honesty of the reasons. However, there was little warmth to...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Cooper - NO. His football is dour, and he'll be bitter having lost a premier league job. Martin - Has a whiff or arrogance about him. He annoyed me last season going to the fans before kick off to clap them. I'd have him over Cooper. However, it will be neither of these two

    Not liking this, I thought King had somebody lined up. Seems, according to the rumours today that's not the case. It means all these 70 odd applicants are out of work, and I bet almost all of them we wouldn't want.

    F*ck sake. He didn't even have someone lined up? I hope this is not the case.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Whilst I like the ideal of getting in a young coach like Bloomfield who has had an excellent start to his managerial career. To dismiss Robins, and bring in a guy who's had 2 years experience in the lower leagues doesn't sit right. Same with the Reading bloke. I've warmed to Lampard. Smart...

    Simms got himself back in the side against Luton, played a blinder and scored. Why would he for some reason not want to play. He would of started v Boro.

    Amongst the worst decisions in the history of Coventry City FC

    The inability to break down physical defensive teams at the CBS has been a long-standing issue under Robins. It was the same in League 1 and League 2. We could destroy teams that were open and attacked us, but a clever, sly defensive gameplan often toppled us. Same this season (Sheff Weds and...

    He was great yesterday. Rarely gives the ball away, first touch is sublime. Bought as a LWB but suffered last season being played at LB, with Haji not offering much protection.

    Sunderland Player Ratings

    Thought Lati did a good job today. Away from home against the better teams he’s a decent option.. Siimms getting no time is a strange one. Asante was poor as you say.

    Kitching and Dasilva excellent. Liked Lati playing the holding DM role. The guy is a warrior. Asante disappointing. Simms should have been on at half time. We were a lot more direct today, long balls into the front two, but that might have been forced with Eccles & Sheaf out.. Collins. Always...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Thing is. If he does well and gets us up, he’ll move on at the first sniff of a more lucrative contract. However… He’s a smart lad, And will have a hunger to prove people wrong after his stints at Chelsea and Everton. He would have looked at our squad, and obviously sees a squad he can work...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    To be fair to Lampard. He did pretty well at Derby, and got them to the play off final. Followed his heart by jumping ship to Chelsea, but they were already in a mess. Everton wasn't great, but that's a fire fighting job. Clever bloke, and will want to prove a point, but don't want him.

    I am sure Carr has his own ideas of our best formation and personnel, which probably differs a lot to Robins. I'd like to see him mix it up a bit. He's got one game, as I am sure the new man will be in place by Sheff U.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Carsley has some weight I think. No announcement yet, as he has a final England U21 fixture to play next weekend. Tuchal taking over in Jan, and may want his own man managing the U21s. Local to the area (or at least used to be), ex-player, highly rated coach, and probably wants a crack at...

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Watched a few interviews with Bloomfield on YT last night, as had never heard of him. Quite impressed me, there's a level of intensity there. Carsley would be my pick though.

    It sounds like a pre-rehearsed answer. as he has one more U21 fixture to fulfil before taking over at Cov
