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.

Nobody looks good in a turtle neck, never got it, makes everyone look like a sexpest.

Wonder what a manager does in his first coaching session. Are they all going round saying their favourite cheese and how long they’ve been at Coventry?

Looks more of a sailing pullover than a turtle neck I think!

BBC Sport: 'Now or never for Lampard - the stakes are high at Coventry'

Decent article and a sign of how high profile the appt is (Phil McNulty writing about it).

During pre-season even Robins was talking about play offs, and having this great squad to have a real push. Few weeks into the season he's telling everyone to reign in expectations. I think THAT, very there, was the end of MR.
Click to expand...
Maybe, but he could never have expected Simms to fall badly from last season's achievements, or equate for Sheaf being injured and seemingly still carrying a knock (Saddles said he was getting pain killing injections).

MVE's form has dropped too.

Players come in and out of form. It happens everywhere.

Sheaf and MVE are both very good players. They haven't been showing it of late though. And we have now had 3 games without Robins and still their performances haven't matched last year.

I am not surprised he said to reign in expectations.

Some players this season just haven't competed at the same levels they did last season.

Could Allen be his Kante?

Not much difference to when a teacher takes their first lesson with a new class. Lay down expectations then get to work.

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

If we introduced a fine after every pass going astray we could up our wage budget with the extra revenue

Telling him to make sure he does his laces up tighter as when he is playing he spends most of the time doing his laces up.,

Guessing because he's one of the clubs most senior players.

Glad its all finalised, pleased he's got the two coaches he wanted in his team.
Just listened to his opening interview,he speaks very well.
Very pleased he made reference to the great work Mark Robins did in his time at the club.

Really not sure on this appointment.

But glad to finally get it all sorted and I hope he's absolutely brilliant for us and proves me wrong.

Good luck Frank and welcome aboard!

I am very unsure, personally I am surprised we could not identify a coach with greater potential than Lampard.

Indeed but still, a shrewd loanee or two can make or break a season. Do you think we'd have made the play offs without McNally and Doyle?

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.

That's not actually true though is it, about loans?

Not sure, you could have a quick look at 5pm, if not it's on Sky Sports News.

CWR do you have a phone in at 6 p.m..
