Thing is to just reach them requires 2 points a game for the rest of the season, about double what we’re doing right now.But King is only expecting to reach PO's not necessarily winning them?
Not a fairytale but idiotic to say he did the bare minimum. It's his style of play that got him to Bayern.
Meanwhile idiots on here acting like rob Edwards is a better manager than Kompany lol
Lampard among the leading names to succeed Mark Robins. Lampard is thought to be prepared to speak to Coventry, even though he has not formally applied for the job.Frank Lampard among leading contenders for Coventry job

Completely agree.His style of play works at Bayern because generally that football works with elite players or a big technical advantage over the opposition. He has both there, but neither at Burnley when they got crushed in the top flight.
Maybe we are not going to appoint anyone until Frank Lampard applies.Lampard among the leading names to succeed Mark Robins. Lampard is thought to be prepared to speak to Coventry, even though he has not formally applied for the job.
Weird.
Seems more likelyI believe there could be something in it, put it out there you're interested in the Coventry job to drum up business from someone in the Premier League.
Agents do it all the time.
You respect that his team got relegated without a fight because he didn't know how to get them to play in a way to keep them up?He stuck to his guns in prem and I respect that.
I want someone with the pragmatism to succeed. We're never going to have the best players in the division, so if a manager tries to play a style that requires them, they will fall on their arse.It's really simple do you want mark robins replaced by a manager who may make it to the v top of just someone you can say yeah he's pragmatic???

So Edwards style is a fighting chance 26ptsYou respect that his team got relegated without a fight because he didn't know how to get them to play in a way to keep them up?
Ok. Strange take, but ok.

How much did each team spend in the summer?So Edwards style is a fighting chance 26pts
Burnley didn't put up a fight 24pts
Ok....
Completely agree with this. Feel uneasy with the RVN link. Even if appointed it feels like he could be gone within 3 months.I believe there could be something in it, put it out there you're interested in the Coventry job to drum up business from someone in the Premier League.

If we're going to compare them (which I wasn't): last season Luton lost a lot of points from winning positions (often big winning positions), and lost a lot of games late. That suggests a squad without the quality / experience (and this can apply to the manager, too) to manage and see out games.So Edwards style is a fighting chance 26pts
Burnley didn't put up a fight 24pts
Ok....
That's how I saw/remembered it!If we're going to compare them (which I wasn't): last season Luton lost a lot of points from winning positions (often big winning positions), and lost a lot of games late. That suggests a squad without the quality / experience (and this can apply to the manager, too) to manage and see out games.
From what I recall, they were also in with a fighting chance until the last month or so, when their form completely bombed.
Burnley were never in it.
I prefer RVN. He's a bigger name than Frank Lampard.Not against RvN, but I still don’t get the hype.
Still prefer someone who has a defined style of play, has been doing it for years and is ready to step up.
Whole telegraph article seems a nonsense.Lampard among the leading names to succeed Mark Robins. Lampard is thought to be prepared to speak to Coventry, even though he has not formally applied for the job.

Fun fact - his name is actually translated to “Vennegoor or Hesselink” something about arguing families not agreeing to a surnameWhat's Jan Vennegour of Hesselink up to these days?
When Eustace got sacked from Birmingham I said at the time we should of got him in as number 2 to MR with the plan that if Robins left or got sacked like he has he would be a ready replacement.

You mean the very same amount MR got in his last 5 games.........Thing is to just reach them requires 2 points a game for the rest of the season, about double what we’re doing right now.
No. Wasn’t it 1.4 points per game over his last 5 games?You mean the very same amount MR got in his last 5 games.........
He didn’t?You mean the very same amount MR got in his last 5 games.........
Course he has. Tell the world he is available and they might miss out if they arent quickSo, if we are believing what the Man Utd Youtuber is saying about Lampard, then RVN has played us, right?
You're right dunno where I got that from???No. Wasn’t it 1.4 points per game over his last 5 games?
Wishful thinking perhaps!You're right dunno where I got that from???
@Jimmy87 said him or Carsley were never in the running.Is RVN definitely now out of the running ? if he was in it at the start that is
