I certainly don't consider myself that, Although if people want to call me it (or something similar), that's up to them. I just appreciate what NP has done, was doing, and the disgusting way at a time of poor health that he has been treated. I am angry, and I will no longer support those that have done it, or had a hand in it. It's not even just about NP. It's how they have behaved for years. I want them gone. And a reasoned response, thanks. I don’t share the anger, even if there’s lots about the decision that puzzles me, and lots about the way the club’s being run right now that frustrates me. But I have been angry about things in the past, and you make a good case for why you’re angry. I suppose that after years of frustration (more pre-Lansdown than since to be honest) I’ve come to the conclusion that the the best approach is the theory (it’s probably got a name!) that it’s more productive to focus on the things you can control, or that you can influence. Rather than on the things you have no control or influence over. And that getting angry over things you’ve got no control over rarely delivers anything but more frustration! I understand that you and I and everyone on here all support the club. And I understand the argument for the long term future of the club being better served by another owner. But whether or when that happens is entirely outside our control and getting angry about it won’t change that. Whereas, in the meantime, what we can influence/control is the support we give to the new manager, whoever it is, and to the players, whichever regime they’re associated with, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of Managers look for work, we hardly have time to sit down and talk to them all Not long now... Two reasons. One, he's managed at the top level so I think deserves us to hear him out at least. Two, he's likely to manage at our level in future so worth being on good terms in case we're ever involved in a potential transfer with a club he's at.

Ffs Pretty normal recruitment practice to interview a credible candidate who has done a job at the same and higher levels before even if you think you're unlikely to hire them. They might have interesting ideas, might surprise you, you might encounter them again in future. I don't even want us to hire Lampard, just surprised if we've declined to interview him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Rs Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 From what the admins and Mr Riot have said, it’s a German/German league manager who’s most likely currently out of work if there hasn’t been any news about it that will be announced at some point on Monday.

Rocking Red Cyril Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Ok enjoyed the game today. Felt the team showed up well if making it a more difficult job than it should of been. Ok whilst waiting for my bus home, which allows good time for after game chat whilst waiting for a bus to arrive, several fans seemed convinced Frank Lampard was in attendance today. Just saying what I was told. So was he or not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
