The only way you’d have any info would be insider knowledge that potentially risks your career if found out.

Inevitably there will be someone with the right connections who is a big hitter . Undoubtedly too this individual will be known by the bookmaking fraternity and the bet refused and the markets shut down. He wouldn't have time to get a network of smaller punters putting bets on for him to go under the radar

Everyone who's ever managed them has kept Everton in the Premier League.

I'm not sure 6th with that Derby side can be said to be a huge success. It had players like Wilson, Mount and Tomori in it. Wasn't that basically in the era that ultimately screwed them? They had to get promoted or they were in it up to their necks; well, look how it turned out for them.

We got to a playoff final with Doyle, Hamer and Gyokeres, what’s your point?

I'd still not count it as on until someone better reports it, he does like to to thro things at a wall and see what sticks.

I'd by okay with Lampard though.

If true, I'm dejected. A totally disappointing and uninspiring choice.

So much for King's nonsense about taking our time and getting the appointment right. He went with the "name".

Agreed. I can’t believe people are lapping this up. It’s the easy appointment and totally devoid of any sort of outside the box thinking

Who would your preferred candidate have been? We probably share the same view that no one candidate was a stand out replacement for Robins. RVN, Lampard and Carsley (plus other Championship/L1 managers) wouldn’t have floated my boat to be honest.
Click to expand...
Well, one thing to say is that we don't know how serious the links with those people are, or who else is / was genuinely in the frame.

Of those three, probably Carsley. I'd be happier though to take a punt on someone less experienced, rather than appoint someone who's record it's erring on generous to call average, though.

RVN would have been a bigger risk.

We're an absolute embarrassment of a club.

We had a manager who fixed the relationship between the fans and the club when it seemed impossible, brought us back up the leagues, and made us respected in the public eye again, after decades of being laughed at.

That's all now gone to shit. You have sacked him to bring in what is essentially a Hollywood name with no stripes. Say it out loud... You've sacked Mark Robins for Frank fucking Lampard. Doug King you are an absolute c**t.

Not sure how any of you clapping seals got your brains wired so to think this is good. I'm fucking furious.

Saturday will be fun when we're 2-0 down. Lampard is such an easy choice, no evidence of being an elite technician. Doug running the club like its a computer game.

We can admit what it is and say it’s a shite appointment but still get behind the team. It’s totally convinced me Doug Bling is a total con artist though.

Not a problem, King can hold another fans forum with hand picked attendees who give him a round of applause before it’s even started and give a 15 minute monologue about how it’s everyone else’s fault that Lampard is now manager
