Rooney was on £1.5 m a year
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.
Good luck to him, hope he does well for us.Sky reporting talks are advanced
Probably because he’s the successful candidateHow is it advanced then?
Would he then take Burnley as well?Should be announced in time for Saturday but imagine Carr takes the Sheff Utd game.

it's really notStill got a feeling this is taking longer than it should, hope it doesn’t fall through but I think it will
If he’s provisionally agreed to take the job as the club’s preferred candidate then I’d say that counts as advanced talks, even if they haven’t agreed on things like salary/staffing yet.He's not if there isn't an agreement reached.
To continue the inane analogy, if you’re stitting on 20 and decide to twist, you better make sure you know there’s an ace coming.
And, it's his pack of cards, I guess. So he'll do what he wants, he'll do what he wants, etc etcThat's the thing, isn't it. King thinks the players are good enough and he's rolling the dice on someone else getting more out of them. He didn't see MR as part of a winning hand. Lots do / did. He didn't.
Nice to see our fans are still living in cloud lala land
Pretty sure this bloke claims he’s dating Doug King’s niece or something like that. Either a weirdo bullshitter or not someone to be looking to for impartiality.Nice to see our fans are still living in cloud lala land
Imagine pulling the trigger on Robins and facing the national backlash that Doug has over the past couple of weeks, all to end up with Frank Lampard.
Really don’t know what Lampard has shown previously to suggest he’s so much better than Robins to lead our “deck” at this level.
To continue the inane analogy, if you’re stitting on 20 and decide to twist, you better make sure you know there’s an ace coming. Looking at the list of potential names, I’m not sure there was an ace even out there, never mind one that would realistically come to us.
I’ll obviously try and get behind Lampard if he is the man to come in but I just feel so detached from the club right now.
TRY and get behind the manager

It’s not Mark Robins FC
Exactly where are you getting all your Doug King info from ?Doug King comes from silver spoon, middle class entitlement and a narcissistic belief that his knowledge and leg up position in the Rapeseed industry, gives him omnipotent knowledge in football. Stick to lawn tennis Doug and bring someone in that has more knowledge of football than a few jollies in Norwich hospitality with the other trust fund bandits.

Summer could be interesting if he's backed in the transfer market as Robins was. Fancy a couple of quality loan additions too.Lampard isn't as bad tactically as people make out. Yes he is not some next level German with a completely new way of playing but he is a pretty modern coach.
He'll set us up in a base 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 system but I wouldn't take that much notice of that. What he will be trying to do is like most of the top managers is get the team into a 3-2-5 system when we attack and a 4-4-2 when we defend. This is something that we have actually lacked at City as we seem to stay in the base formation all game, attack or defence.
Also he will invert players and drop players deeper etc. to create overloads. This is also something we have lacked and is a reason we struggle against teams that sit in against us.
So we won't get anything mad like the fella at Brighton who makes his team abandon the midfield when in possession but there will be some solid modern tactics used.
That added to the better class of player he can attract means he is nowhere near as bad as some fold like to pretend he is.
