When Coventry appointed Frank Lampard at the end of November 2024, Russell Martin had won 1 and lost 10 of the first 12 games.

Had Solak been more decisive, maybe we could have appointed Lampard then but it took 4 more games and 3 more defeats (two conceding 5) before he decided to act.

I guess we would have moaned about a Lampard appointment at that time and maybe he would have done no better than Juric last season.

But since his appointment, Coventry have won 23 games and we've won 3.



Poll: Who is MOSTLY to blame for this joke season?

I would have been really happy if they had appointed Lampard. He did a decent job at Chelsea. Pl experience as a manager and player. Big name, full of enthusiasm and energy, a person the players clearly respect at Coventry because he was great player and he has managed the world's best players at Chelsea. But we wouldn't ever appoint such a manager. Spot Republic want yes men, who will accept all their money making ways.

Lampard has a fantastic record in the Championship with clubs who have not benefited from parachute payments.

And Cov sacked a really good manager (Robins) to bring him in.

They are clearly far better at recruiting managers than us.

Poll: Would you take going down to League 1 if it meant new owners coming in?

I said at the time he’d have been a good appointment for Saints. Despite him having won everything as a player, he is incredibly humble, a rarity in the modern game. He did a fantastic job in his first year at Everton in uniting the fan base, the players and the club. In the end all of the shenanigans behind the scenes which were unprecedented (and this is before the points deductions) were to much for him and and young manager to be fair and the club had no choice but to sound the Dyche Klaxon.

He doesn’t bullshit or talk shite language that confuses the fans (well me anyway). I think he will go onto be a good manager.

I forgot about his time at Everton. Kept them up. 2 successful stints as a manager at the very highest level. He was a top player, a leader, a captain, a great communicator, enthusiastic, got the fans onside. Compare with Still, who was never a player, never managed in England let alone the top level. Only "success" finishing 12th was it for one season?

I find it really strange that people can't recognise who is likely to be a good manager and who isn't,.particularly Sport Republic.

Blimey, no wonder Swindon town centre was full of people falling over, jumping around and a few zombie looking people on the streets Tuesday night at about midnight when I drove through it on the way home from Bristol. Bloody SATNAV.
