John Eustace - our head coach

[RevidgeBlue]

I do find it a bit worrying that nearly every time a Championship vacancy pops up, Eustace is mooted as one of the front runners.

That would seem to indicate to me he is (unsurprisingly) somewhat unsettled here or that it is common knowledge within the industry he has some sort of release clause which makes it relatively easy for a rival to poach him.

Edit: Hopefully, like Plymouth,  Coventry are dazzled by the stardust they think Lampard can bring to their Club and they go down the foolhardy road of appointing him instead.

At least it means we must have a decent manager. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Lampard looks likely to be appoint Coventry head coach from media reports

Considering you touted him for the England job, do you think thats a brilliant appointment?

[JHRover]

I heard the other day that Plymouth are running some sort of 'fly on the wall' documentary with Rooney as manager. 

Similar to the disneyland nonsense at Wrexham or 'Class of 92' at Salford.

I did wonder when they appointed him what their game was and why they would gamble their Championship status on such a poor manager. Now it comes into focus, it's the publicity and profile it gives them. They'll inevitably get loads of viewers watching their documentary in the UK and abroad, people will take an interest, you'll probably get foreign investors interested off the back of it.

Whether it's a brilliant appointment depends on results.

Well, obviously. But I presume you expect them to get really good results considering they are a Championship side about to appoint a manager who you deem to be worthy of the England job.

It will be interesting to see if he does get a point. Hopefully he doesn't, one less relegation place to worry about.

Come on we must all know how to translate Chaddy-speak by now?

’we’ll see’ is ‘yep, hands up that was a daft opinion, but I can’t row back now’.

It's a bit like Les Dawson playing the piano. You have to be a very good player, to play that badly.

Wrong. I stand by my opinion that the England manager job should have an Englishman. Sam Allardyce and Harry Redknapp both agreed aswell. 

So yes I would have a Potter or Lampard over Tuchel. 

I wasn't taking RF99 on with his leading question Matty. 

[Mattyblue]

So by your metric Mowbray should’ve got the England job over Tuchel too…  so not an endorsement of Lamps actually being any good, fair enough!

I always said that the England football manager should be English. You and others don't. I stand by my opinion. We seen us appointed 2 overseas managers who didn't achieved anything better than an Englishman.

Why don't we actually invest in our own coaches and what's the point in the English FA investing so massively in St.Georges park when they gone foriegn option again? 

[Mattyblue]

I don’t care Chaddy and neither does anybody else outside the summer tournaments… and neither will you if he wins the World Cup!

But at the end of the day the FA obviously think no English managers up to it. Shows their ‘pathways’, St George ‘s Park and all the rest of it haven’t been much cop, doesn’t it!

You might not care but plenty of England fans do..

Nobody will give England a second thought now for months.

And? 

They shouldnt given it's club football time

[Mattyblue]

So you don’t think about Rovers in the summer?

always cos the transfer window is open, fixtures release, New shirts being announce, players being sign and sold, etc. Club football never stop. International football really does during its gaps in the football schedule 

[Mattyblue]

You should be thinking about England selections now, tut tut.

[RevidgeBlue]

So Chaddy......

Eustace or Lampard?

Lol.
