2/5 now.


It wouldn't surprise me if Doug unveils him tomorrow before or at the presser.

It changes the dynamics of the supporters forum away from constant anger to questions towards Lampard.

I think it's unfair to say this would be. Vanity appointment by Doug. He might genuinely buy into lampard management ethos and have faith he can get it to click fully this time

I’m convinced that’s what’s happening - no way Doug arranges a fans forum without having something to soften the blow

more SBT extremism.
Lampard isn’t even anything to do with the view that it was wrong to sack Robins. It’s very feasible to hold the view he should have stayed and still want the new manager to do well.

Having had time to think about it my preferred choice would be the Wycombe fella.

Does he have the gravitas for this set of players though? Non loaded question

I don't think appointing Lampard softens the blow. Makes it worse imho.

Yeah, especially on his new hair, as to how's Christine doing and whether he will finally admit that him and Gerrard together in the same England lineup, never worked.

It's clever.

If they get Lampard up in front of the fans, he'll talk well.

I bet we get some very ambitious tripe from Doug about wanting Lampard to get us in the Play Offs this season and how he'll back him in January etc.

Having any manager up there who is willing to talk to the fans will change the narrative tomorrow night.

Not sure this softens the blow for me!
Very underwhelming.

Glad it's not dragging on though, get the appointment made ASAP so we can all move on.

By the list of managers out there I think he may end up being the best thats actually realistic, I’d much rather him over Schumacher, Butt, Niel etc

Expected it but dissapointed to be honest. Think it’s a very short sighted and easy appointment for DK.

The first act and most recent act make him seem quite impulsive, not a great trait
Click to expand...

I don’t think either acts were impulsive. Any other manager produces our form over 30 games and loses 8 of our last 12 home games would probably warrant the sack. Our loyalty to Robins is admirable, but it is a possibility that was holding us back. That’s not a view I personally hold, but I’m open minded to that possibility.

Using this forum as a barometer, there were 3 threads asking the question of Robins in or out before the axe was swung. Which is never a good sign for any manager.

Really odd vanity appointment if this is the one.

Sounds like something that will end in tears within a year.

On the positive we are not far away from being a top side in the league, doesn't need massive overhaul.

Was this in the distant past, or this weekend at Tescos arena while Frank was getting his meal deal?

New manager will come in and say the kind of players he wants in and who is surplus I imagine.

Id have no issue with Lampard being appointed. Always talks well, bright, hungry, articulate. I remember reading over the summer that when doing euros coverage how he really impressed other pundits with his analysis etc.

Gary Lineker and Micah Richards name shock England icon as potential Southgate replacement

Lineker: 🗣️ ‘I think players would respect him immensely.’ He definitely wouldn't be everyone's first choice 😬

Whether he’s the right fit for us, who knows, but if he is appointed he deserves the fans backing and some time to get the team sorted (another gelling period )

I just cannot fathom in anyway that Lampard will be at the presser tomorrow. King is feeding himself to the wolves albeit in a very controlled manner. Taking Lampard or any other potential manager into that environment to introduce him to the fans would be nonsensical. Would put Lampard on the back foot immediately.

If it were me I would front up tomorrow, answer questions, let it be digested for a few days and look to announce the new manager later in the week or early next week.

Well that's it really isn't it. I think I, along with many others, don't think he's the right fit.

As much as King is potentially stupid for doing what he did, I’m sure he’s not stupid enough to know that a new manager will want some kind of backing in January.

He’ll be aware that anyone will come in and make some changes to the playing side of things that they are not happy with. I imagine this means we’ll be doing some Jan transfer business.

Or, he is revealed from behind the curtain at the end of the evening, after fans have been scratching their heads all night, wondering whose shoes have been sticking out from the bottom.

It was his analysis of the games that impressed the others. Not the fact he’s a good pundit
