It seems there will be no room for Dempster, Williams and potentially Boateng


That's only initial murmurings so no one take that as gospel please

Fingers crossed Williams will be gone.

I feel like Dempster & Boateng could be accommodated and do a job with our youth. Wonder what’s happening with Delaney

As long as he tells the goalkeepers that when they put the ball down to look behind them.

Looks like RVN is going to Leicester:

Ruud van Nistelrooy to be named new Leicester City manager

Exclusive: Dutchman in line to replace Steve Cooper and is crucially available with no compensation after recently leaving Manchester United

Feels like we're downgrading the manager to upgrade the coaches

Is there a Toffee Crisp one? Think there was one in with that 'pooping candy' you used to get.

The mint one isn't minty enough. Plus the milk chocolate is too creamy and I prefer a bit darker chocolate with mint, like After Eight. maybe that's why I was disappointed - I basically wanted it to be an After Eight in Chocolate Orange form.

Popping candy not pooping candy - hopefully.

Frank Lampard's last chance? Coventry seems a last roll of the dice for him in management

Coventry City may well provide Frank Lampard with a last chance in management in England. He simply has to be a success, especially after the stature of Mark Robins among the fan base and the expectation of the owners.

The best part

Robins achieved promotion and trophies. He took the club to within a penalty kick of the Premier League, and to within a whisper of an FA Cup final.

The bar, for Lampard, is set so high that Coventry may have been better off appointing Armand Duplantis.

To dig out a positive from his Everton spell, of the few permanent signings he made, Onana (sold to Villa for £50m) and McNeil (who’s probably their best player now).

Everyone is looking out for the Lampard announcement, hopefully that will be quickly followed by a Dean Austin, Aled Williams and Dr Roberts have left the club announcement.

Given how poor the keepers are I get the Aled Williams stick, but I really don't get the vitriol about Dr Roberts and Dean Austin. Ones head of sports science so manages the physio's, data analysts, etc, and the other just looks after the scouts, Robins sanctioned every signing.

Frank senior was regarded very much as a bit of a joke by West Ham fans. Left back who liked his pop.

Considering DK mentions about everything going across his desk and how poor the recruitment has been over the last two seasons, to question what on earth Dean Austin is scouting and putting forward is very reasonable. One or two shit players can get through the net and turn out to be shit but in the last two years there’s more shit than good joining the club.

You’re wrong, Dr Roberts helps the players with sleeping.

Alled Williams has a lot to answer for, our defending is getting worse and worse.

When Dr Roberts was recruited, it was substantiated by the rationale that she would be able to find “that hidden one or two percent” that could be the key factor in us elevating ourselves and get over the line where historically we had fallen just short.

It was referenced she had a psychology background and would ensure players emotionally were better prepared in-game and for season defining moments.

She would be working with the sports scientists to ensure nutrition was on point. Again helping us to find those small differentials over the season

She would work on recruitment to ensure ‘the right type of characters’ were brought into the club.

Taking pure misogyny out of it. She would have had KPI’s and targets in her role. She was brought in to elevate performance, and we have stalled. And her key remit, to make those small differences for us, clearly hasn’t happened. And with that, her position absolutely needs to be under scrutiny.
Our performance has not measurably improved.

We have conceded first every single game in living memory. Clearly now a psychological issue for players.
Clearly unhappy signs in the camp, Robins referenced Dovin coming across to the country young and not being emotionally fully ready. Again areas of pre-screening i would have expected her role to capture.

Our players look KNACKERED in every single game this season. Doug can spout stats at us about perceived improvements, but absolutely no evidence of that on the pitch.

So the same as Robins was ultimately found to be the most accountable, and lost his job for it. All others involved absolutely needs to be equally scrutinised

You can only sanction what’s put in front of you and the quality of signings dipped noticeably when Austin took over.
