Not in the smallest bit surprised by over 70 applicants. Big club, big fan base, cash to spend and a good playing squad. Would expect 75% of championship manager would swap there shirts, let alone anyone who's out of work or in league 1!

70 Apps, not short of options then are we. Skubala is a good shout, would want Ruben Selles to be near the top and Evatt (but I know this is just me following his career form Barrow).

Wow, if true that's a lot of applicants. Feeling slightly less tense about the inevitability of Lampard now.

Yes, but 90% of the applicants are posters on this forum

The Metro and the Mirror are saying the same apparently.

So it looks like being Tony Mowbray

I’m optimistic about my chances

At my interview Doug King thanked me profusely for offering to do the job for a pittance and promised that the considerable saving would add to the transfer funds

I suppose one plus or minus of Lampard coming would be the Darren Farley impressions returning

I definitely remember Cov fans applying for the job back in 2017 when we hired Robins. And if I remember rightly there was one guy whose entire experience was FM.

Hells teeth - he's meeting Austin to discuss what to do next?
I assumed King had his ducks in a row hence the odd timing of the sacking but seems not.

Are you sure it wasn't because you wrote "Beyonce" at the top of your CV, and Doug wants a big name.

I'm sure he said he didn't have his ducks in a row when bidding for the stadium during his very first media interview.

From all those applicants, we've narrowed it down to 3 :- covcity4life, Grendel and skybluecam.
Fucked if I know which one to choose out of such a wealth of talent and knowledge.

Well it's not going to be Grendel is it, or he'd have to spend half his time calling for his own sacking.

The Israeli league doesn't instill me with any confidence to be honest. What sort of level is that?

Well they play in the European leagues, granted they never win anything in Europe.

It would be like a non-league manager managing a championship team.

All managers have to start somewhere.

To be fair, good source based on followers and links. More likely to trust him to be honest.

If he won the game, we should swoop in right now and bag him on a 4 year contract

If we get cucked by lampard after not even wanting him there's going to be uproar.

Yeah, the idea that King has been in cahoots with his new guy for months appals me. But not as much as the idea of him literally sitting down now and starting to browse through a bunch of applications.

I'd actually be happier if Doug and Austin etc are meeting now to discuss candidates rather than already having one like Lampard lined up.

Gives me more optimism of an actual search being put in place and using wisdom of the crowds rather than just Doug going "Frank is big name, hire Frank!".

Yup, I will be really angry with him if he turns us down, after us rejecting him.

In terms of the betting world Lampard must have been approached and in advanced talks - Robbie Keane is in the wings as standby if Lampard don’t work out so Lampard is 4/9 on the Robbie Keane at 3 /1

And Robbie Keane would be the cheaper option for Doug King, so don't believe the bookies.

Keaneoooo Keaneoooo Keaneoooo.
