Groby_Blue Posted 27 January Posted 27 January 55 minutes ago, Finnegan said: I genuinely think the Russell Martin links are just a mix of lazy rumours and people writing stories about betting patterns. I have next to 0 faith left in our ownership and even I don't think they'd actually consider Martin. There's lots of names I consider entirely underwhelming that I think they would pick but I reckon Martin would be considered far, far, far too much of a risk in our current situation. Wasn't Top there when the crowd were singing Russell Martin, what a willy puller? As dim as he appears to be, I'm sure that would have registered somewhere as well.
ClaphamFox Posted 27 January Posted 27 January 32 minutes ago, Russell sprout said: Lampard at derby with the squad he had, failed, lampard at Everton, just as bad, point in making is we all thought he would be a disaster at cov, but there looking like going up and he turned them round last season, both managers will have learnt a lot about themselves when on a break, Gerrard won’t be any worse than wot we have/had I think it's a stretch to describe Lampard's season at Derby a 'failure'. He took them to sixth, the same position they'd finished the season before (under Gary Rowett!). The Derby fans I know liked him and were disappointed when he left. The following season they came 10th. In Lampard's first season with Chelsea he took them to CL qualification while operating under a transfer embargo and relying heavily on academy players. Yes, Chelsea dropped off the following season before he was sacked and his time at Everton was a bit of a shambles, but overall his record prior to Coventry was very mixed rather than obviously bad. Gerrard did well at Rangers, but I'm not sure how much weight we should attach to success at an Old Firm club in Scotland. His Villa side were a shambolic mess and he got pretty much everything wrong—major fall-outs with senior players, bizarre tactics, no identifiable style of play or preferred formation, etc. Yes, it's possible that his time at Villa will eventually be seen as a blip and he will have a successful career, but I don't want us to take that chance. Would I have wanted Lampard before he went to Cov? Probably not. Does his success there mean I feel more inclined to give Gerrard a go with us? Not at all—they have absolutely no bearing on each other. 3
Aleksz Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Can't comprehend the pool we're fishing in I would like Mowbray because I've "accepted" what we've been resulted to, but Rowett and Coleman too, christ on a bike 1
Rubbersoul Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Was there ever an explanation as to what happened with Preki? I’ve either forgotten or must’ve completely missed it

Pliskin Posted 27 January Posted 27 January May as well appoint a fish, no worse than the current list.
lcfc_forever Posted 27 January Posted 27 January It won't be Coleman, especially having not succeeded at Leuven - either agent talk or footyinsider trolling us for engagement (which appears to be working!).

Rowett 4. Robins 5. O'Neil 6. Carsley 7. Skubala 8. King 9. Sheehan 10. Martin Can't see McInnes anywhere - seems extremely unlikely we will pinch a manager currently in a job, and equally unlikely a manager would leave a team in 1st for our shambles mid-season! Rowett at Number 3. Just sacked by 2nd from bottom Oxford United who’ve seen a massive improvement in performance since he left and yet he’s your 3rd choice?
splinterdream Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Was a yes or no to a list of managers on for Fox sake podcast today, was telling that it was a yes to most of the managers listed, including Neil Warnock
splinterdream Posted 27 January Posted 27 January The football department should take the job, that way if the team loses, its all of their fault, therefore no one is to blame and we'll never need to pay compo to another manager ever again

MGLCFC Posted 27 January Posted 27 January Can we appoint Neil Warnock, but the contract must include the use of a dressing room cam at half time and full time, which is then broadcast on the LCFC website. Would love to see some of these prima donna's take a right mouthful from Warnock when they've put little effort in. We might not stay up, but at least as fans we'd have some entertainment to look forward to, which is a far cry from what we see on the pitch now.

Not at all—they have absolutely no bearing on each other. Gerrard did well at rangers because he had a very good assistant with him. People will buy into gerrard as a motivator because he has always demanded perfection and he carries weight in the game that will always be respected. But his actual coaching and tactics are abysmal. When he went to villa his assistant didn’t go with him and just like Ruud he was like a fish out of water. I think these type of appointments will always fail eventually because the respect you can get from your status runs dry over time with the same players. funnily enough his assistant (Beale) was a terrible manager as well, they were both just a good partnership and should have stayed that way Edited 27 January by Lambert09
