Difficult for Robins tho as we said yesterday he was in essence the DOF at the club. Whether his coaches let him down, it was his team that he assembled.
At work if a whole team stopped working, they wouldn’t sack all the staff but the manager.
You see if I’m Robins, I wait for the Luton Job which is seemingly going to be available soon.
Would suit the players and the club like a glove to be honest
Might also help his coaching squad will have more connections and bigger names for footballers to come to since it’s a young side.
Take Shay Given, if your a young goalkeeper the chance to train under a premiership gk would be a big draw.
Think I’ve been lied to by Football manager of all places 🤣. Point stands tho, still think he’s a good player who in a back three would have been an asset.
Think Joe Edward’s will be key to this considering he’ll of coached a few of the young generation at some point or another.
Been banging the drum but would love us to try and get Harvey Vale on a loan to buy.
Not sure he would have the pace needed to play as a Lampard lwb considering there the ones responsible for holding the width where as the wingers are quite narrow.
Would be a January signing for me as don’t seem to have the kind of player we need (Dasilva seems to struggle in a back four).
It’s such a waste of our attacking talent imo. Especially when we don’t really have a lwb of high calibre. Might of been different if we signed someone like Burrows
Fair enough on Wright and Simms.
And on tats, that’s solely what he’s wanted at other clubs. He depends on wingers with the opposite foot to cause a lot of his teams ball progression (like wright does for us already tbh). If tats can’t do it, he’ll have to look towards BTA
Personally based on what I’ve read think this will be the line up.
Dovin
Milan - Thomas - Kitching - Bidwell
Sheaf
Eccles - Rudoni
Sakamoto - EMC
Wright
Based on how Lampard wants to play based on analysis from Chelsea, he’ll want the fullbacks to overlap and keep the width as such expect to...
Which I grant you is a big point but if I’m not wrong we hadn’t actually reached settlement with Mark at this point. So who knows what was agreed.
Also as a question did Chelsea use similar language with Graham who was still being paid off
There not really the same role in modern football.
Manager acts as the de facto leader on the football matters often has final say on transfers and staffing. Will also have free rain on tactics.
Where as a head coach doesn’t get the same level of control with the director of football...
