Is this the same Frank Lampard that is reportedly a very poor man manager, that blanked many senior Chelsea pros, tried to sell Rudiger in a January window as he was deemed not good enough. The same Lampard that split the Chelsea dressing room. Whoopee can't wait.

Where has this even come from? I don’t believe for a second this is true 😂

I agree with you that but at least it's a name that would bring a bit of excitement. 

 

Anyway, I quoted more because of your username. I grew up in Wokingham and must have been the only City fan living there and had to endure Glory hunter Reading fans as it was in their rise in the early 90s.

The same Mourinho that sold De Bruyne and Salah; the same Pep who fell out with Ibra and was openly disrespected by Messi in the changing room; the same Tuchel that got knocked out of the German Cup by a third division side last night….

…you can do this for every manager.

As I am sure has been said, the longer this process goes on the more likely it will be Curtis Fleming. No one lined up , recruitment process run by idiots and it will be cheap in every sense. 

Pearson was sacked on Sunday, much as I’m still disgusted by that, I can’t really complain he hasn’t been replaced inside 5 days.

It will not be Curtis Fleming.

But haven’t those managers won things? Just a thought.

I wouldn’t read much into this as it’s not the first time that’s happened at Chelsea

At some point a manager who wins something has to win something. He may not have won something before. It doesn't mean that they won't win anything in the future.

Is automatic promotion in second place winning - nope. It's coming second.

If at some point we come second  in the Championship you will celebrate winning promotion.

Some may just moan that they came second.

Didn't Mourinho win the Premier league and Pep the Champions League after those decisions ?

Pearson won two promotions with Leicester including the hallowed promotion to the premier league

Yes- not at BCFC hence my point re recent Managers.. 

I really think it's a complete nonsense to require someone to have won promotion before. It's about what they can do here not what just they  have done elsewhere.

It's almost 10 years since Nige won anything but didnt stop him from doing a great job at City in most people's view.

Meets the club at 11am today. That has come from a very good friend of his. HE WILL be our manager by the end of tomorrow Friday. He will be at Ashton Gate on Saturday to watch the team. I don't care if people want to dismiss what I've said, but my friend is someone who has known Frank since they were both at West Ham in the mid 90s and Frank has openly told him since Sunday afternoon, he wants this job. He sees us as an under achieving team who should be in the Premier League. 

The posted above who said his agent met the club, that is not true in the slightest. Frank technically doesn't have an agent, he has a business manager, and financial consultant, but neither of those get involved in football related matters. He approached a member of our staff, and he was put in touch with someone. He spent 2 hours on the phone with them on Monday, saying why he wanted the job, and made it clear, he is serious about taking Bristol City to the Premier League.

Since then, he has been sorting out personal matters and meets the club today, but he wants the job. Also, I've read that people are saying Jody Morris will come with him, he won't. As said on the other thread the other day, Michael Johnson, the England Under 18 coach will be coming with him, as his assistant, not Jody. Frank is heavily impressed by our academy and youth development and thinks that he and Johnson can help progress a number of youngsters and take the club forward.

Call out all you want, say what you want, and if I am wrong I am wrong, but I won't be. Since Frank got in touch, the club turned their attentions away from Eustace and Rowett and feel that Lampard matches the clubs ambition and remit. 

I will say it one final time, and wont be posting again until he is announced as manager, which means if he isn't, I wont post again full stop. Frank Lampard will be our new manager, he is expected to sign a deal today and it will be announced tomorrow, and he will be at the game on Saturday. Michael Johnson will assist him. 

I'd love this to be true just to see you become an OTIB legend.

You'd have a direct line to the City head coach, imagine that! You'd be able to pass on feedback from OTIB!

I'm not convinced though that Frank would tell his mate all about this and his mate would go, oh Robinforlife2 is a City fan, I'll give him regular updates with all the detail...

I can see this happening, and moderately positive about it.  For FL, it's a possible chance to resurrect a managerial career.  He wasn't going to turn down Chelsea, but they came calling far too soon in his career.  A bit of a gamble for us, but any appointment would be.  And bringing in a Johnson must be good 😀
