Out of the 3 (hopefully) incoming ex Chelsea, which ones considered the elite level tactician? Morris?
It's not something Lampard is known for is it?

It seems pretty black and white, Lampard wants his people. Doug doesn’t? Where do you realistically go from there?

A compromise perhaps?

Sounds like a big expense having a Prem kind of setup on a Championship budget. They wouldn't come cheap. Either King would have to dig deep or it would affect our player budget.

Agreed. There was always the potential that everything would fall to pieces and the fans would really turn on the team.

He's managed to keep things going

Choose to believe as you wish

The hold up is the cash. Dougs not agreeing (and rightly so) to just say name your price and do what you want

If we remember back to the forum Doug wanted a Head Coach to work with the current setup

Lamps won't. He wants Morris and Cole with him. Fair enough of course

This however leaves Doug forking out a lot more than he wanted too. So negotiations have been slower than expected

Both parties still very keen and it's not a million miles away at all. Just more of a sticking point than Doug first imagined. Maybe his naivety showing again. But I'm glad in a way he hasn't just lobbed a chequebook around

We have a pie and liquor shop just about 4 mins walk away.

As I am a vegetarian, I tend to just go for the jellied pea protein.

Didn't he sack Robins because he wanted an 'elite' head coach? Maybe he should have thought about the wages before getting rid of Robins.

Hope it does cost him a shit load of money. After all, you can't get 'elite' on the cheap.

Won't cost him anything, will cost the club.

The cost is on the club and the more money spent on coaching staff is less money spent on playing staff

If we’ve been trying to for two weeks to figure this out we should just move on. It doesn’t set the owner/head coach relationship up for success when once if you is crossing a red line to make it happen - either DK acquiesces and sets a dangerous precedent, or he doesn’t and FL spends all of his time writing forlorn love letters to Jody Morris from the trenches and waiting to be reunited whenever a job closer to home/the premier league pops up.

It’ll be a dodgy Ruby that’s causing the hold up, if you can Adam and Eve it.

The longer this saga drags on with Lampard apparently digging his heels in on wages and coaching buddies, the less I like the sound of it. He's hardly a sought-after coach after all.

If we were to turn in another good performance tomorrow and get a result at Burnley I could easily be swayed to keeping Rhys Carr for an extended period. So far he's done a very good job.

So who owns our club? Who would have to fund it?

Seems like quite a few have very short memories. We got totally in the shit before having someone running our club in a way that was unsustainable. We have had to climb our way back up which has taken a lot of years to achieve. Now suddenly it is expected that we should bring in ex Prem and ex England players not thinking where the money is coming from.

Then people like yourself say it isn't King's money. Our club doesn't have the funds. The money brought in by Robins has been spent.

Do you think Lampard and Cole would be happy on just a few grand a week?

I'd like to see them here, but if King thinks it's pushing the boat out you far financially then he'd be right to pull the plug.
