I see Lampard as a Boost man. If this hunch I've made up is true I'm all for him

The first problem is Frank Lampard's Sky Blue Army doesn't really work but Fat Frank's Sky Blue Army does. We all know which one we're going to end up singing so lets hope he doesn't hate us from day one!

I think it will be Big Fat Frank's Sky blue army (as in Big Fat Ron - which I once sang all the way up Broad Street)

There's rumours that his demands are ridiculous.

How am I only now finding out you can still get them? I thought they'd been discontinued years ago, what a Tuesday I'm about to have!

That rumour would be ridiculous, because he will have say in transfers, just as Robins did.

Doesn’t in a head coach system, the director of football have the final say in transfers?

It's usually done by committee. No point the DOF brining in a player that the head coach doesn't want and won't play. And the DOF is there to manage heads of all departments, and provide some continuity.

Well, he's footballing royalty, or as near as it gets, so he won't come cheap. I would presume King would be prepared for that. Then again, it is King, I suppose...

Wage demands?

So if Frank is ruled out, who’s left? I know the Ian Evatt rumor is bollocks but seems like it’s the only name left apart from maybe Robbie Keane?

No.. like I said it's a rumour, my mate just told me that apparently his wage demands were ridiculous and that he stayed at Coombe Abbey for 3 days, nothing to exciting.

How much was Mark Robins on I wonder, £15k a week as a guess?

How much does the average Championship manager earn?

Sorry I probably shouldn't of said anything, it will only cause aggro but I suppose there is truth in his crazy wage demands, surely Lampard would want far more money then Robins did..

Lampard and his agent are not stupid, they will know the level of wages in Championship.

I would be surprised if wages are the issue, I assumed Lampard was mainly interested because he feels this is an opportunity to relaunch his managerial career rather than fill his pockets.

Lampard has managed at this level before, he knows how much managers at clubs like Cov get paid.

He needs a club like ours to rebuild his career and he is rich enough to never have to work again so I can't see him scuppering his chance by being stupid. He is a pretty smart man after all.

We are on the lower end of the championship though if I’m not wrong? Maybe expected a bit higher from his Derby days?

If he was after a quick buck he could easily walk into a Saudi job

Rooney can't be picking up that much at Plymouth surely as well

Difference in Jobs tho right, Rooney just got relegated at Brum (pretty much) and moved to a relegation candidate team so wouldn’t expect high budget.

For a team with top six ambitions, you would expect top half wages not the bottom half we have.

Me too seems it should be the other way around knowing how much a manager is responsible for

Absolutely no chance that Lampard doesn’t come here because of wages, he’ll only not come if Doug tries to be a dictator

When Wayne Rooney was at Birmingham it's rumoured he was on £800k a year (£15,300 a week) and his salary was double the average for a manager in the Championship.

Agree. On the other hand they do get their contracts paid up and move jobs a lot more often.

If he backs himself which I assume he will - surely his big salary will come in the form of promotion bonuses and wage rise on that basis?

Managers are comparatively easy to replace. Top players are significantly more valuable to a team.
