Isn't the connection to Lampard that Austin has worked with his Dad or am I misremembering?

More likely Austin played for his Uncle, but that hardly narrows the field down !Isn't the connection to Lampard that Austin has worked with his Dad or am I misremembering?
Probably which might explain why the process took longer than some seem to believe it should haveI wonder if he had to cut some of the more expensive coaches like Given and Cole in negotiations.
I suspect the back room changes have not finished yet but DK will have asked Frank to run the rule over the current incumbents before injecting more cost and change.Probably which might explain why the process took longer than some seem to believe it should have
Play off final with Derby
Champions League with a transfer ban and youth players at Chelsea
Survival with a shite Everton team
Failed at Chelsea along with many other world class managers.
Looking at that it's not a bad record really is it.

The amount of our fans writing Frank's obituary is quite staggering.
So you’re saying that Frank built a champions league winning team …..Depends how you spin it.
Statistically 2nd worse Everton manager.
Statistically worse Chelsea manager, (2nd spell)
Left team in 9th first spell, Tuchel came in and finished 3rd and won champions league that season.
That's not being negative, they're facts.
I'm not bothered, I'm glad he's here and only care about what he does for us. Hopefully past experiences, good and bad, stand him in good stead to make a success of it here.

Found it, Austin and Lampard Snr worked together at Watford and went with Brendan Rodgers to Reading.One of the media rumours was Doug was friends with the Redknapps
Rodgers had an interview with the Berkshire club on Tuesday and impressed enough to be handed the reins at the Madejski Stadium. The football consultant Frank Lampard Snr and assistant manager Dean Austin are expected to join Rodgers at Reading,
He was on talksport and said it was rubbish, he played golf with harry redknapp 8 years ago and hasn’t spoke to him since, another daft rumour put to bed, just like we didnt want to give it to Lampard until after the Burnley game, because they were hard gamesOne of the media rumours was Doug was friends with the Redknapps
The insurance is sky high though!I see this through the lens of a new car scenario hopefully. The brand new model was put on the road by Derby getting rid of those initial gremlins. Everton and Chelsea have increased reliability and handling and now we take ownership of a reliable, smooth running machine.

Have you read some of the other shit written in The Telegraph ? Speculative journalism at it worst in many cases.

lol at the Jamie Redknapp clarification, thanks for explaining how a family tree works

Compared to who though? Chelsea and Everton have had some of the world’s best managers there. Both clubs have been on a downward spiral too.
Sean Dyche has a 5% better win record than Lampard and yet if there was a chance of getting Dyche, no one would bat an eyelid.
Lampard’s second spell at Chelsea too is the blot on his career. Hearing his take on his time there on a podcast was insightful and he’s seemed to learn a lot from it.
Whichever you cut it, Lampard was the best candidate for the job because of his achievement in the game. People like Bloomfield and Eustace could not hold a candle to FL’s record.
The league is the tightest it's been in a long time and I expect that pattern will continue and this season there will be a record low needed for the top 6. We absolutely need to take it a game at a time but the playoffs, while perhaps not probable, still are realistic if we can string 3 or 4 wins together and use that as a springboard.But play offs from here? It’s not realistic
Was it? Which one?
It sounds like one of those weird conspiracy theories that made Robins hard done by.

The above post is far too sensible for this forum.Pointless thread, whats done is done. Might aswell get behind him and the team now. I truly hope we're all able to look back on the threads on Frank, and on all the players at the end of the season and laugh about how much crap they were given at this point in time.
Every single managerial appointment is a gamble, a risk, every single one. Past performances do not indicate future results.
He may not be your choice.....but you didnt have the choice in the first place.
It’s an example of someone being taken in by crap on social media - how ironic
Think the rumour originated frome Givemesport and has just been repeated by others.
