Really? Perhaps he was not docile enough for DK in the end.

Get a sense from hearing about connections outside of football between King and Lampards extend family and the confirmation of Lampard being in the running at the fans forum. Was this always Dougs thinking even before the Derby game and he has simply been saluting the process?

I totally agree regarding COH and Gus but if MR has his name sung out of respect at the first home game since he left that would be more understandable. I was away at Sunderland and some of the King chants got out of hand and whatever happens I hope it stays respectful on all sides.

It's not about us winning a European trophy. That achievement is just a demonstration of his managerial ability, which for the vast majority of the time he has outperformed. If he did that here we would be in the top flight. Who would you be more confident in taking over?

His record at Everton and West Ham is not bad though and he has won a European trophy. West Ham are doing worse since he left and he is is a stable manager. Even if he is not a swashbuckiling type, those credentials appeal to me.

A different take on a poll? 1. RVN 2. CARSLEY 3. MOYES* 4. LAMPARD 3, 1, 4, 2 *Have included Moyes as Doug likes a promotional clause and if we offered a 3 year contract with a hefty promotion bonus he might be interested.

If the right candidate is ready and willing to start, why do think it would it be stupid?

When you have provided a deck containing CBs like Kitching for 4.5m and Wingers like EMC for 4.5m it's easy to see why Austin might well been relieved to see Mark carry the can.

Lets look at it from Marks perspective, before any legally binding settlement agreement has been signed. The other party (King) puts out a number of statements in the public domain about your troubled personal relationships and the circumstances leading to the demise of Adi. And then goes on to...

Got a feeling Robins lawyers will now be asking for a bit more in his settlement agreement

Any news on Hadji?

His record of 1 win from 11 in his second spell at Chelsea worries me. If he is appointed I will 100% be behind him.

I cannot believe we are considering such an average manager to take forward Marks legacy with the club. I am sure some of the squad would fan boy over lampard but that is not what we need. Lampard proved beyond all doubt (in my mind) during his second spell at Chelsea that is is not able to...

Will the crowd sing his name next home game? Would be uncomfortable for Doug.

Can 100% be seen that way but if the next appointment is poor he will be at risk of further dealing with falling player values alongside falling attendances. Robins was let down in the summer by the lack of investment in midfield and with all the changes with coaches this season, more than any...

His awareness and technique are more advanced than most of the squad. Would start him Tuesday

Think there could be a record low total to make the play offs this season as the spread of points seems like it will be even across a large number of teams.

Agree as does Kitching. We spent 7 million on Binks and Kitching who appear to be CBs that function far better in a back 5, then switched to a back 4 and spent money on players better suited to 4 3 3. Somewhere there was muddled thinking.

Kitching was positionally suspect at times and I would expect Rudoni or JDS to start as if we have ambitions to play an expansive game we need both wing backs to be effective attacking outlets.
