"I Want Him To Succeed If He's Good Enough!" Simon Jordan REACTS To Lampard's Coventry Appointment!

[@michaelwards7974]

Michael Carrick has done well. My guy for one has kept his job third year running. And made them play better. Don't forget about the ones who make no noise.

[@richardsmith9615]

Similar to how he was as a player, to be honest. Just gets on with his business, efficient and quality.

Take charge against Coventry? Well done Sam

So Matterface says it's good for England to get an English manager in Lampard taking over. HE JUST REPLACED AN ENGLISH MANAGER, SAM.

DO YOUR RESEARCH MATTERFACE!

[@brudthebucketman]

Yeah but most replace with foreign

[@HIXFTM]

Missed the point haha

[@Barri2207]

He also said they Coventry are playing Coventry on Sat 😂

[@cyphate]

I think Mark Robins at coventry might be the hardest manager to replace since Ferguson. I respect Lampard a lot for taking this job, hes put himself into the rhe fire and wants to succeed. Time to do it

[@andypandy4607]

what about arne slot

[@uncleambient]

Robins didn’t deserve the sack and most of us Cov fans didn’t want Lampard but we will get behind him. It seems similar though to when Rooney went to Birmingham and look what happened to them. PUSB

[@kimosavage7478]

Completely different to the Birmingham situation, Robins took us as far as he could, yes I wanted Robins to be given more time, but it's time to move on and support Lampard.

[@andypandy4607]

@@kimosavage7478 interesting so you thought he took them as far as he could yet you wanted him to have more time?

[@kimosavage7478]

@@andypandy4607 Yes. Because it's been sad to see a Legend of our club struggle because of what's happened behind the scenes stuff, that had been going on. You could see the writing was on the wall, but even when we are not playing well we'd had hoped for him to be given more time to turn it around because of what he's done for our club. With Lampard's appointment and new coaching staff. I find it a refreshing restart and carry on with the foundations that Robins built.

[@jtmmmm27]

Every interview i've heard of Franks as a manager seems turgid stating what he thinks should be said as opposed to anything organic like Pep and Arteta. Thats got to be picked up by the players.

[@davidhamed8613]

Had to wait until Coventry played Sheff Utd & Burnley before job announcement didn’t want the embarrassment of accepting a job they had little chance of winning .. how brave !!!!

[@waynehiggins7950]

I mean, it makes sense that you would want the new manager (HC) to get off to the best possible start doesn't it? For him, the team and the supporters. I think DK made the right decision here.

[@davidhamed8613]

@@waynehiggins7950 back yourself !!! Coventry have a good squad they are underachieving should be in the playoffs come end of the season

[@waynehiggins7950]

Put a new manager in charge just before you face the top 2 sides in the league? What so the fickle so called fans can heckle him straight away if it goes wrong? That would immediately have a negative affect on morale. Far better to ease him into it imo.

[@TheMartinTD]

Stupid comment

[@ChrisPage68]

I think it was Sun Tzu in The Art of War who said: "You fight with the weapons you have - not the ones you want". We have to get behind Lampard and at least give him a chance. He's not my favoured pick, but he's who we've been given. He might prove us wrong. I hope he does.

Dont want him doug king showing his money is worth more than our club

[@craigderby4416]

Ridiculous appointment

[@camrondirossi3249]

Majority of Coventry city fans don't want lampard!! Mark Robins was legend and he was sacked. doug king didn't listen to the fans.if lampard doesn't do well doug king need to sell the club either to mike Ashley. Rather had the Wycombe manager. Doug king just hired Lampard because his friend of Harry redknapp. If lampard was so good why didn't any European get him. Even Arab countries didn't sign him

[@waynehiggins7950]

Where do you get your stats from? I'm just curious how you know it's the majority?

[@annysqu]

[@Jay-id8ym]

A few Chelsea loans in January most likely, I can see Coventry doing alright

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

Coventry do not do loans, we have no loans at all and this policy has been the case since Doug King bought the club. Lampard will have to wheel and deal players in january

@@waynehiggins7950 well who knows

[@kofiesson8110]

Ex English players that go in coaching are arrogant. They don’t put in the work to learn their trade and just jump into management. Look in Spain. Germany and other places. They spend years as assistants, then coach youth level before stepping up. Need to learn their trade. The young English managers doing okay spent time coaching before stepping up. Mckenna. Carrick etc

[@ZubairMahmood-j8c]

Frank is a nice bloke great player but how him and Rooney keep getting these opportunities is beyond me what's the difference between them and Liam rosenior. I hope Frank does well though

[@emptywhy]

Lampard has qualified for the Champions League, won a Champions League group, and survived relegation with a side that was worthy of going down, why are people comparing him to Rooney, the reality is he has a much better resume coaching than any of the other English ex player managers from his generation, it's mostly just narratives surrounding him, he will do a great job at Coventry.

[@mattfoster]

how can Coventry play Coventry Sam?

[@gayleroberts5375]

Lampard has a decent squad for the league and with a good team around him could have some success but failure where does he go from here?

I couldn't agree more with simon. These ex pros need to learn the trade. 5 year before taking jobs in the prem like vila and Chelsea. Gerrard left rangers to early. Same with frank at derby. Make mistakes learn the trade then try your hand at an elite club.

Coventry do not do loan players, we have none and the owner has had that policy since buying the club. Lampard will have to wheel and deal in January.

[@manofthenorth6372]

@RealmsOfThePossible why? How is that any good for the club? You would've had a chance to get Premier league players.

[@RealmsOfThePossible]

@@manofthenorth6372 The owner has stated that he would rather have committed players on the books and not have to play loan players for the sake of it. Loan contracts have inbuilt agreements that the player has to play so much time per month etc. Seems the owner and recruitment team spend time looking for players that fit a certain criteria psychologically, we have some sports science woman heading the department and the owner seems to have the money to buy and develop players. Look at our recent buy Norman Bassette, he is terrifying defences at the moment.
