I would imagine he walked Frank over to the gym to introduce him to the staff and players.

it would have been odd if Frank has just wandered in himself …..

Why would Dean Austin not do that?

Under contract unfortunately

Boateng here less than 12 months, he's gone without severance

Why wouldn't the chairman of the football club?

It's his football club and his appointment.

I didn't realise Williams has been at the club since 2019. Do you think he'll be on a rolling contract by now.

It could’ve been a test of the players football knowledge. See how many of them recognise him

Is it? Someone has to show him round and do introductions, surely the man that has just hired him is the most appropriate to do that?

This is him working though, not just popping in for a wave. How many times have you started a job and the hiring manager sits down next to you while you work?

Obviously some kind of contract that doesn’t allow you to be fired for being shit at your job. Must talk to his agent.

Yeah, because Robins had no money to spend.

Not what I said clearly. Thought it was commonly believed that Robins had been denied use of the loan market by King? Well documented that Robins missed out on some of his permanent transfer targets in the summer.

You give it a rest. I just made a throw away comment about King looking out of place and you jumped on it.

He was probably introduced to the players by King; I don't see the big deal.

Look with lampard there is absolutely no doubt he has a fantastic footballing brain and is a very clever man .

The issue is wether he can get that across to the players and make them play better and motivate them .

Hopefully he can
Click to expand...


Well the first thing he needs to do is to get the players to improve their passing and be more composed.

Head to toe in Hummel, even found him some fresh trainers.

Bet Doug is gutted we didn't get RVN as they could have compared turtle necks.

Aled Williams has that look of someone unsure whether he’s going to make it past lunchtime…

You said it was similar to Phil Neal and Atkinson and Robins was stitched up. He spent 10s of millions.

I'm kind of disappointed that King isn't wearing the training kit as well - hahaha.

I was just about to say that, with ‘DK’ on but still wearing his work shoes.

Joking apart I’ve got no issue with him being there and wanting to hear Lampard address everyone for the first time. Whatever people think, this was a ballsy, potentially expensive, move by king so why wouldn’t he be there.

Happy with the appointment. Hopefully it will drive the players onto better performances, as they’ve just not been good enough this season, but as a group (sorry deck !) they’ve got the ability to turn it around / do a lot better

So does every club. Rudoni, Asante, Kitching and Binks were ones MR pushed for and got.
