Silvio Dante Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Just now, Top Robin said: His high level contacts may outweigh his average managerial ability Ah the Joey Barton argument. Top clubs give loan players to teams who pay them the most fees. And it’s not a market we’re shopping in allegedly so is moot. If that’s what we’re hanging our hats on with Lampard then it just shows what a nonsense appointment it would be. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Lansdown would invest in players if he likes the manager. Remember how much money junior got to spend during his tenure here after Cotts got the push. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the concept, nor would I want Lampard but given that modern football can be quite nepotistic and contact based you can't rule it out entirely. Favours can be done too for favoured managers or clubs. Reading not that it did them much good, Rahman, Drinkwater and Casadei very cheaply, no loan fee, restricted on wages etc. Dai Yonnge is friendly with Kia Joobrachian who also was good terms with Marina Grankovskaia. Embargoed, FFP sanctioned Reading shouldn't be anywhere near loanees such as those. Cooper at Swansea a range of those he had managed at England U19 was it albeit Parachute bolstered. It's dubious but it can get a club ahead. Especially if a more favourable rate due to connections.

Whilst, for various reasons, I wouldn't be averse or even disappointed were Frank Lampard to be appointed, I do question whether he would be 'allowed' to bring in the loans he appeared to have used to develop Derby in to what was, to be fair, a very attractive team. I am sceptical as to whether FL, with no loans and only a very limited transfer kitty in January, would be able to progress us as much as we need.

Johnny Musicworks Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Lampard might be a refreshing change as we would actually get some media attention for once. In a field of Joe average candidates it’s hard to get excited about any of them unless our wonderful owners pull an unexpected rabbit out of the hat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
