I’d rather wait than have lampard.

Annis, i said on another thread (someone said Robins was sacked) that they would have a new manager within a week, stoke also sacked thier manager on the monday and was replaced on the wednesday. And then there's us, an utter shambles, as many of the football pundits say....."WE ARE A BADLY RUN CLUB"

I’d rather wait than have lampard.

This smacks of owners wanting a "name" as manager several better options than lampard out there.... it takes more than 3 days to get a manager in unless you know beforehand who's getting job.... Good luck to him

Paul you did.

I would have Robins.

But I don’t trust this Hierarchy they will want to control and cheap.

What it shows is stoke we're actively looking for manager while one in post? Same with robins? Suppose you could call it forward planning but that shows lack of respect for a long serving manager...

I’d rather wait than have lampard.

My thoughts, too; he’s only slightly ahead of Rooney in the managerial league…

Thankfully, with Omer Riza steadying the stricken and adrift good ship Bluebird, we can afford to wait a little and if stories are to be believed, they weren’t happy with the quality of available candidate after firing the Bulut; and one candidate effectively talked himself out of an appointment…

Still rumours about Slaven Bilic doing the rounds but you would think that the club will have done due diligence before they sacked the Bulut; particularly given they must have had an inkling after a few short games into the season…?

Rather wait and get someone decent. Riza hasn’t done a bad job.

Too many people quick to jump to sack the manager bla bla then complain that we have hired someone shit.

Whilst I agree we need to sort it out over this international break, I don't think this news is proof of that.

Lampard is a huge gamble for Coventry.

Had a high quality Derby team and failed to get them promoted.

Sacked by Chelsea and didn't do much, took the job too early.

Did well at Everton and kept them up but then sacked because they were heading down.

I would like to see Mark Robins at Cardiff

Have to agree about lack of respect. Robbins has helped lead Coventry back to the Championship from the worst period in their history. Six months ago Coventry were on the wrong side of a very tight but ultimately correct VR decision from staging perhaps the most astonishing comeback in FA Cup history to reach the final.

The thing about Robins is people are assuming he wants to go straight into another job.

He has been at Coventry for a long time.

Often when a manager leaves a job after a long time, they decide to have six months off because they need the rest.

He won't have any shortage of offers so he may be better placed to wait until something more appealing comes up.

Being critical of city because a club sighns lampard within couple of days is all well and good but is there a city fan that would want lampard don't think so... another club owner who thinks a "NAME" is the answer to a problem..

I’d rather wait than have lampard.

If i was a coventry fan i would not be happy with lampard shite at everton ok at derby,
but they had a lot of money been thrown about when he was there.

Monty there are decent coaches out there that would suite Coventry but to put in an ex premier league player who's coaching cv is not brilliant isn't a good idea... but we'll see..

I never mentioned Lampard, our three useless idiots haven't got a clue who to bring in as manager, they are still holding out as long as possible for the cheap option.....Riza, if he is given the job full time we will be in trouble. As for lack of respect to sacking managers when you have someone lined up, well that's how most clubs in the world work, some would say forward thinking.

I’m glad Bulut got sacked before we found a replacement , imagine if he was still here the league table would look a lot worse.

Ruud van Nistelrooy please .

It's easy to sing his name as well .

These people saying we need experience. Lampard - who has experience. Yes experience picking up big salaries and being sacked.

Van nistelrooy is available ??

Van nistelrooy is available ??

He's just done a good job as interim in the Premier League, he's not going to drop to a Championship team in the bottom three.

Well you obviously misread what I put because you were critical of club because Coventry sighned coach after 3 days I said lampard because that's who they sighned?? Your right about forward thinking but upto his sacking robbins was not on list to be replaced so Coventry were looking behind robbins back and he should have been afforded more respect after what he's managed to do under extreme circumstances Coventry fans very unhappy at his dismissal and lampard taking over.... as for riza being cheap mmmmm actually well he cost nothing as he's already employed by club... and yes we are badly run in some respects but far more clubs are more badly run than us...

Agree with you there annis I think hes a good manager, Coventry have been right in the shit in the past and he kept them going .

Rather wait and get someone decent. Riza hasn’t done a bad job.

Spot On .

Their owner has said "I have not been in touch with Lampard and he has not been in touch with me", maybe it will be Lampard but at this moment in time they are still looking for a manager

The below article worries me. Success is often built on a good manager and a good asistant ala Clough and Taylor. Things went wrong when Robins got rid of his assistant and clearly the Borad at Coventry saw the alarm bells in keeping Robins without his very good coach


He pointed to Robins's recent record of losing nine out of 17 home games and added: “The reason why I have made the decision is that he (Mark Robins) has dismantled the coaching staff at this football club. I haven’t dismantled it, he has done that. That’s the thing people don’t realise, they think I am doing lots of things with my spider’s web and all these things, and it’s strictly, absolutely not true.”


Explaining further, he added: “What happened is that Mark and Adi Viveash were the heart and soul of this football club, they dragged us up through the leagues and were very successful in that. And then it just seemed that in March/April last year that something went down. You know a simple thing as an article in the Telegraph by Andy Turner about a certain marriage, and a difficult marriage. The guys have been together a long time and I don’t know, I think it provoked something.

“Adi gave another big interview and he wasn’t authorised to do it and then everyone got a bit excited and clearly, the fall-off after the Wolves game was pretty startling. I know everyone said we were knackered after the heroic FA Cup semi-final but the reality was, it looked like something was wrong.

“I had a meeting with both of them individually at the end of the season and I said, ‘Look, I came in here and gave you four year contracts, I want you together because you have shown me that as a team you make it happen here. I am going to get you the deck and you, I hope, will hopefully out perform the way you have out-performed with this deck. I told them to take time out, go away, have a holiday and come back recharged... and effectively, I had a phone call from him about two weeks later, where he said, effectively, he could no longer work with Adi Viveash.

"I was particularly angry about that because I did not want to break that up. Adi Viveash is a hugely skilled coach who develops players, which is my model and the model of the football club. And so, weirdly, I was trying to keep it together whereas Mark had made the call that after seven years a divorce was what was needed."

He added: “The senior team of the club, myself, Dr Claire-Marie Roberts, Dean Austin and Mark met for a first quarter review to look at the situation on October 30, I think it was, and went through all the aspects of the football club. Anyway, it became clear that at this level, with this deck of players, we are lacking an elite coach/tactician to support the manager.

“I wished that we could have got one in for the manager because had we done that then maybe we wouldn’t be having this discussion tonight. But the reality is, I can’t get one in. And I am not going to go and sit through another ten games, trending at one point per game and putting at risk this football club the threat of relegation. I’ll tell you what happens when things go wrong, if you get to Christmas with 26 points the pressure will be triple, the players will be thinking about the summer, ‘the season has gone, we came here for promotion to the Premier League and the big Coventry project - all gone wrong’.

“And it would have got way, way worse and put this football club at risk and that’s why I acted as I did on Thursday.”

FRANK Lampard remains the odds-on favourite to become the next Coventry City manager and replace former boss Mark Robins.
Coventry owner and chairman Doug King confirmed Lampard, priced at (1/3) with Sky Bet, has submitted his CV to the club in an interview with Sky Sports News.
The former Chelsea and England great spent last season out of the dugout after ending the 2022/23 campaign as caretaker manager of Chelsea.

He previously guided Derby County to the Championship play-off final in his first season as a manager in the 2018/19 campaign.

Former Coventry striker Robbie Keane (9/1) has drifted to the same price as interim England boss Lee Carsley.

That means Wycombe Wanderers manager Matt Bloomfield (7/1) is now second favourite behind Lampard.
Bloomfield has guided Wycombe to the top of the League One table this season.

Former Stoke boss Steven Schumacher (12/1) is an outside shot while interim Sky Blues boss Rhys Carr (18/1) is also an option.

Carr guided City to a 2-2 draw against league leaders Sunderland in his first game in charge of the club last weekend.

Coventry are seeking a new manager to replace former boss Robins who led the club to two promotions and an FA Cup semi-final during his near eight-year tenure.
