New Head Coach

[Monkey69]

I like the bloke and admire what he's done ...

... but I thought he froze at Chelsea.

I know that's not a popular view, because people hate Chelsea as I do, but it was too big for him imo.

Big mistake for him, other than financially of course.

I agree to a point but the fact that they went through an embargo and forced sale due to the war. It was pretty much unprecedented times so I factored that int my reasoning for his failures, then a scattergun approach by new and inexperienced owners really did not help.

Out of interest, who would everyone prefer out of Rosenior and Lampard?

Rosenior , in a second

 

[Smug in Boots]

Couldn't give a **** anymore. My brain is fried. Just read about 15 pages.

There was a time, on here, when 15 pages was the entire month's posts ...

... so that's a bit of positive news

 

[sheepman]

Can we please have a positive news day tomorrow? Please for the love of god

As long as people stop making things up it will be fine

 

[Grimes]

If that's true, how come a agent has found out and told you

This rumour didn’t come from me mate so I can’t tell you

 

[Southern A]

Maybe I’m just in a bad mood and it’s been beaten out of me but if somebody said we could get Lampard tonight or wait 3 weeks for rosenior I’d probably take the lampard now option. Just so that it’s all over.

Rosenior but I don't think lampard would be as bad as some think

Meant to be great with young players and he will be used to the pressure of high profile jobs

Maric

Why Maric? He hasn't got much managerial experience. He might turn out to be a good manager but it is a big risk

in all seriousness Lampard also has that level of confidence that I think a Sunderland manager needs.

Not that I want lampard. But I do agree with you he wouldn’t be as bad as many say.

Can’t argue with that but I’m a risk taker.

 

[LBW]

I can't abide Lampard, in any way.

Why Smug ?

Was hesitant to post this following the replies to the question haha but felt like he did good work at Derby, had a really good season with Chelsea when they had that embargo, and then kept Everton up when they were in a mess. Has a bit of an unfair rep imo (wouldnt be my pick for head coach btw)

Someone on twitter reckons they’ve seen Lampard out for a meal with speakman

Supposedly It’s romano’s in cleadon, I’m in Whitburn if i didn’t have to go in the office tomorrow I would’ve jumped in the car and had a look but I can’t be bothered to go out

Lampard wouldn’t be too bad would he. Did decent with derby, 4th with Chelsea when they had financial restrictions

If people slate Rosenior for not getting hull up they’ll rip lampards derby team to shreds, mason mount and Tomori on loan sure Harry Wilson was there too, had a hell of a side

Yeah he isnt my 1st choice but managing us is different to managing most teams in the league. He is used to that pressure as a player and as a manager.

He was an unbelievable pro and is someone our young players would learn so much from about dealing with the pressures but also how to be a pro

If he brought jody morris and joe Edwards (big fan of him as a coach- did crap at millwall but the fit for him there was dreadful) then id be pretty happy

Telt yers about 50 pages back to get down to Romanos.

I'm sure he has the knowledge and aptitude to be a good manager/head coach. My problem with him, and this is purely gut feeling, is that he isn't hungry enough for it. Something about him makes me think he went into management because he had to do something, anything, with his time.
