He’s quit already. One training session, said he was off to the toilet and now he’s nowhere to be found.

I'll leave it there but for what it's worth I'm happy with his appointment and the people he's brought with him as well.

I’m not missing your point @clint van damme i do defend King a lot.

I do it because I think he’s been a power of good for our club.

We did not have a string of credible buyers looking to buy the club. If he had not bought us when he did I have no doubt SiSU would have sold Vik and possibly Hamer in the January for much less than we got in the summer. We would not have then got to the play offs.

I don’t think they would have invested the income back into the squad either.

So yes I defend King because the alternative would have been so much worse.

The club put it on that timeline thing too.

Would think the Telegraph would do a "Live Feed" type thing too.

The Cov Tel site seems to be the best source for a summary of what he is saying, no livestream as far as I can tell.

Looks like he’s got a headache already. Nobody warned him about Jay Dasilva at LWB?

That’s what the negotiations were about, Doug insisted on Papyrus but Lampard has his own font man he trusts.

On January window​

Frank Lampard says he hasn't had a conversation with Doug king yet about strengthening in January.

Surely it would have been one of the first conversations?

No targets, no talks about budgets, what were they talking about for two weeks?

It's all just generic piss though isn't it?
No matter who we appointed the questions and answers would have been pretty much the same.

Just want to get to Saturday 3pm!

Sure they’ve had convos but might want to keep cards close to the chest until he’s made his mind up on what roles he thinks needs to be strengthened

I do think a gegenpress is the way, lord knows our midfield and defence can’t win the ball back, maybe the forwards will have better luck.

People expecting him to have a full shopping list of what players he wants before he's even met the ones he's got....

Of course

Just two weeks of Lampard staring at the BBC fixture page through his fingers.

I wouldn’t really expect a new manager, joining in November, to come out and say ‘yeah I’m going to sign loads of players in January and replace all of this useless lot’ tbf.

Spot on.

Frank can’t tell the boys that they have a fresh start and then tell the press he wants a new left back and centre half after a short training session.

Im sure he will have watched previous matches and have views but I don’t blame him for not telling us what they are yet.

They would've have talked budgets in Jan and the summer during the interviews and conversations

I read his response more about what needs to happen and a plan of attack, which of course Lampard won't know yet after one day
