Does anyone think if we lose to Boro that Doug might pull the plug on lamps that would be 8 points from 9 games would he try to freshen things up to try kick start our top 2 chances? Wonder how the relationship is between the two now over not signing Bamford wonder how the contract extension went?

Not a cat in hell's chance.

Not a chance, Lampard will see the season out if we go up then great he leads us into the Premier League and if not I think he hands his resignation in

 

[clint van damme]

I've watched football for too long to totally dismiss something like this happening

But I can't see it and it would be a mad decision.

 

[Tommo1993]

No way. But I do expect King will be frowning on it all, perhaps even leaning on FL for prompt improvement.

Maybe not. He could go to knock on Frank’s door to ask WTF is going on, but then quickly think about his season ticket money and change his mind.

As we speak he is personally chasing up the delayed delivery of the 'Lampard Is King' merch that should have hit the shop just before Christmas.
So the answer is emphatically NO.
You can't keep a good barrow boy down.

Even if we lost say the next two or three, we would still be odds on certainties for the playoffs, so I just can't see King sacking Lampard this season. Not while we still have a chance.

Who on earth would you bring in anyway?

Certainties for reaching the playoffs can't believe you're making out that's a good thing.

That's the thing don't know who he would bring in maybe Gerrard? He likes a big name

Lampard has built up enough goodwill over the last 12 months that King won’t be looking to tear his contract up over a poor 2 month spell (especially when you could argue getting us to the top and keeping us there with our relatively small selection of starters is already overachieving)

The only way I could see Lampard leaving before the season’s end would be some sort of falling out/relationship break down, not due to results on the pitch.

Robins was sacked as King felt we had a top 6 deck he added a top class goalkeeper and spent 4m on a cb and rb and has backed the manager with more additions in the Jan window I'd imagine he thinks this squad is a top 2 deck he's got a lot riding on us getting up this season the whole project fails if we don't he can't keep funding us forever unless we finally get through the door to the prem. We can't afford to keep haji mve and a fee more will want to go in the summer if we don't make it. Tough position for him to be in bit of a crossroads point. I hope we can turn it around.

We sold sheaf for £6 million - we have not relatively sient much at all - we are nowhere on paper a top 2 team

Neither are Boro, Millwall or Hull.

Either way, the underlying data still has us as the second best team in the league. We’ve actually retreated to what xG table indicated as we’re now more or less what the xG table predicts.

There’s enough about this team to get promoted, we just need to sort out a torrid run of away form. It’ll be over 3 months since the last away win if we fail to beat WBA/Sheff U.

I didn't. Where have I made out that's a good thing?

Just saying I think it's a reason why King wouldn't sack FL.

Gerrard was a terrific footballer but unfortunately his brain in his feet, he's not the type Doug would employ.
If F.L. was to leave (and I don't think that is likely) I know Robbie Keane is well thought of by the Club .

 

[Pezza]

Doug will live buy the sword on this one... If we don't go up (I have said for weeks we won't) then I genuinely worry for next season and what that means.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Will be a very messy end of the season if we’re not promoted. Lampard has 1 season left on his contract. Either way Lampard’s reputation will take one hell of a beating. This job was meant to be his resurgence.

If we don't go up then Lampard will leave and if he doesn't, he should. It would leave his managerial career is absolute tatters and it would be so Cov and so Lampard if that happens.

 

[AOM]

Very little chance of Doug sacking Lampard, and doing it if we lose to Middlesbrough would be madness.

Don't think Doug will be with us long term though and is hoping for a quick promotion with a view to sell the club on

Good shout actually keano has surprised me he didn't strike me as manager material but he's making a good go of it so far.
