King said at the fan's forum that it was MR who was resistant to the idea of an assistant manager between him and the coaches, didn't he?

Can anyone confirm/deny the rumour that Lampard is at Ryton as we speak?

I so just want this to be done, I'm ready to move on to whatever's next

Shit and horrible game, mediocre performance, once again conceding due to shit defending and goalkeeping, could have played through to the morning and still wouldn't have scored. If this is to be Carr's final game as interim, a shame his reign had to end on a whimper rather than a bang. We are...

I did wonder from the very beginning of this whether it would come down to whether or not DK is willing to reach into his pockets w/r/t the coaching staff and anyone the new manager wanted to bring in. Two things always seemed obvious to me: 1. Anyone with anywhere near the kind of prestige we...

Probably pre-booked leave during the international break? 🤷‍♂️

FWIW I completely agree and that's how I read the statement too. Like I said; always with a pinch of salt

I guess it would boil down to whether they were MR appointments or DK appointments, whether Lampard (or anyone) would be happy to work with them rather than bring their own people in, and whether DK would want to keep them on the books in addition to anyone the new person wants to bring in

I've been very critical of the start of their time here, but will feel pretty horrible for them if they're binned not even half a year after joining. Hard to see what else could happen because Lampard will inevitably want his own people and DK isn't going to make the payroll even bigger

Will apparently be announced at 9am tomorrow, three year contract and bringing his own staff. The four coaches will be let go. ^According to a mate who is typically pretty well-informed. Pinch of salt, as ever.

I don't want to see Hamer and COH getting good receptions because they're not going to extend the same courtesy. I know deep down that at the absolute minimum I'm going to hear he's brazilian from Singer's Corner and that will make me angry, but mainly what I want is for both to get an early...

I went to the Coundon meet the players with him and Eccles last year and it was pretty informative. He's clearly very introverted and shy

I'm genuinely interested in seeing what happens tomorrow. If we play well and get a win, it's a possible indication that Carr and the other coaches have something to them.

Rhys Carr masterclass incoming, 0-3 win. I can feel it in my bones

statement makes it clear that the new appointment will work within the existing structure

Notionally it's a welcome example of the kind of transparency that we've been badly lacking and a good example of why it's beneficial having these supporters groups, but in practice I find it unlikely King will give any kind of useful information

Fans forum has been brought forward to Monday 11th.

The key part of the statement is that whoever comes in has to be happy to be "head coach" within our existing structure, ie working with our four coaches rather than bringing their own people in, which would rule out more or less 100% of the people I would ever want to replace MR

God damn, I'm not really sure how to react. I'm just stunned. This isn't a day I ever thought would happen

Feels like an odd thing to say but honestly, it's hard to know whether the fact that our new signings still don't have a song of their own is a result of the problem or symptomatic of the causes of the problem, or perhaps both.
