Phileas Fogg Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Iron Acton Red said: 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. Exactly. If we appointed Mark Robins suddenly the purse strings would loosen. Same would apply for Lampard.. and probably an any other appointment he wants that the fans are unsure of.. Williams for example. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Sky bet have the rabbit at 2/1 on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To us and varied players I'd say so. To the media and starf*****s out there probably not. Look at the range of hit and miss but young and fashionable appointments made by clubs in the top 2 tiers in recent years. Starf*****s and ability to tap contacts, build the brand. NP on merit is better than a lot of them. Same goes for a number of foreign managers too. Edited November 1, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They haven't learned a great deal since their ownership but with the Coppell and David James deals, they must have learnt something, so super football brand names isn't their style. I think Liam Manning has much more chance. He will conform to the regime. Edited November 1, 2023 by Tomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly we were hamstrung by FFP for at least 2 and perhaps 3 or 4 windows so PL loans wwre a non starter. Unless the parent club subsidises as they seem to for some but never for us! Loans cost.. wages, loan fees, penalty for not playing etc. This summer, when Scott went the rug was pulled. I expect NP might have quite liked to dip in for one or two more to help push the squad on a bit post Scott sale, be they loan or permanent.

Riaz Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 3 hours ago, Tafkarmlf said: Mason Mount had played 3 EFL cup games in England and a season at Vitesse I think, before Derby. Tomori had been on loan at Hull and Brighton before Derby. These players in context weren't 'Champions League level'players at the time and we're still learning their craft But ya know why let facts get in way of a moan. Fwiw Lampard could be different, point to prove, worked in structures and plays youth and attacking football. Wouldn't be opposed to it if it was on the radar I did say shortly after. Point is. He added players too good for the championship and got zero improvement from the side. I personally wouldn’t be blinded by his playing career. As a manager, he hasn’t impressed at all. Can you tell me what in his career makes you think he’s a good manager? Good start at Chelsea… and then?….. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit if you look around social media, or other forums fans of other clubs can be a bit meh about NP. I think he is someone who has not got these breaks in football. Carrick, especially Martin and Parker Then Kompany and Maresca. He doesn't fit a certain profile, he is better than the first 3 without a doubt, especially Martin and Parker. Yet look who Parachute clubs go for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
