Rob’s mates were right. They’ve only gone and done it.

Suspect the delay is deliberate to protect Lampards record

Doubtful - would then suggest King doesn’t back the squad that’s been built. We’re good enough to take on anyone in this league.

doubt Lampard would be happy knowing his boss doesn’t trust him agaisnt Burnley and Sheff Utd

Starting to think Doug keeps delaying the announcement to ruin the trust of our beloved ITKs.

Get him out of my club

I think it's more likely to be to keep him in the job.

If he takes over the day before Burnley and we then go on to lose, he could then well be sacked the day after.

Fat Frank might be hedging his bets by taking control of city after the Burnley game as he thought his career would have started with two losses

Loser mentality if that’s the case. We’d likely have won the last two under Robins TBH given his record against those sides and how the games went. We’ve got a top six squad, we shouldn’t be scared of anyone.

Robins would have started with Simms and made his substitutions with 10 mins to go.

You know we’ll never know however I thought we did so well due to Rhys decisions I wouldn’t have seen Mark do.

Starting Bassett as a first, then looking at bring back the box which overloaded the central pitch and found us gaps.

But the big one was the changing of shape and meaningful Subs. Apart from Jack I can’t really think of any subs which had a massive impact or a tactical change of shape.

Also depends which Robins team started, if it was Boro or Derby. Only have to look at Leeds to see how badly we did against top sides this year (don’t mind losing to Leeds but not even trying to land a punch on them was unforgivable).

Seen someone saying Monday announcement with Rhy in charge Tuesday. Hopefully if true we’d find out soon considering we don’t do mid week press conferences.

It’s not from him. It’s just mentioning his comments in his podcast.

He thinks Doug is a good operator and will get it right

Could be all sorts going on. It might not be FF himself. He’s probably wrangling over back room staff etc.

doug said he won’t rush the decision, they’ll be somebody in for December, ready for the transfer window in January, don’t think there’s any other reason there’s nothing been announced yet other than contracts to sort out, new coaching staff to come in, that’s if it even is Lampard, it’s a massive gamble he’s taken, can’t blame him for taking as long as he wants,

Who knows. Don’t think anything would be announced today as doubt anyone is working.

Think Skybet think it’s soon as werid for them to suspend betting and football insider seem sure it’s soon.

Also happy it wasn’t yesterday or last week as seemed right to honour Mark. I expect it soon but think if Doug was to take more time, fair enough

it was always going to be after the burnley game although the RVN rumour had legs. Guessing he pulled out hoping for a better offer, to be fair they’ve done a brilliant job of keeping it quiet, and after yesterday I’d be very worried about our playing budget,theres Been sightings of Lampard staying at coombe abbey, forest of Arden, nailcote hall, and playing golf at the belfry
