Lampard's reputation is at an all-time high – he is going to ride the crest of this wave until the end of the season. He is getting a lot of adulation for what he is doing at Coventry. Why leave that and go to Palace, where things could go wrong very quickly? I think Rob Edwards has given championship managers a masterclass in what not to do.

The situation is completely different? Edwards has also managed to get results out of them recently.

Yep. That’s exactly the reason why players transfer from the club at the bottom of the championship to the top every season. Especially at 36 years of age.

He doesn’t look that good, merely hints that he was a skilful player who probably should have achieved more in his career. He’s not won them a single game as they continue (even without the points deduction) on a record breaking season of underperformance.

Every game I have watched him play, he has played well..even at 36 , he is very good.

I don't for a moment think he is coming here, but I think he would be a good addition, to get us promoted.

Sorry for my ignorance as I may have missed something over the year but teams don't ever have a player/manager like in the old days, do they have too much responsibility now? I think we had Terry Butcher but only played a few games, but it was quite common. The reason I say this is Bannon seem the type that could actually do something at Sheff Wed, as player/manager. He knows the club inside out and if he had an old head for an assistant, someone like Steve Evans, I think next season he could bring them back up.

If we get promoted Doug has a massive decision to make about every aspect of the club. Does he invest in the foundation or invest on the pitch including coaches. Can he do both ? Or does he sell take the investment and run for the hills knowing he will of achieved his goal and finished what he started.

Everything in my opinion comes from Dougs decision and the 1st meeting between FL and Doug will be instrumental on the path the club walk. With or without FL, those 2 will be adored and in my opinion deserve that and therefore deserve the right to do what they want.

They are in a right mess financially.

King is more likely to think about selling the club.

Fair point, but he is being asked to play 3 games per week. Not subbed and he is 29.

Why do you think Palace have a vacancy, they don't back the manager, they sell players, sound familiar.

He's had 2 weeks without a game, not 2 weeks off. Given our poor run of form before the break the training will have been intense. Besides which, there's a difference between long term exhaustion and match fatigue. Some games he's going to find hard and we need an option we can bring off the bench for 20-30 mins and to step into that starting berth if required.
