- Can't speak for other people but for me he doesn't seem an upgrade on Farke (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 16:41:31
  - But you just said you're going to hate being a part of Frank Lampard's Norwich (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:42:54
    - It's not against frank himself but the media hype and circus that goes around him (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:49:36
      - The club doesn't change, just the narrative from the media (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 16:54:21
        
        but the problem is if he fails here, it will be NCFC failing FL the shit won't land on FL (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:59:03
    - Yes really! I'll be so cross if that's what we end up being known as (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 16:45:11
      - By the way, did you think I'd meant to say I hate Lampard? They are different (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 16:53:26
        
        Sure, fair enough (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:56:24
      - We are currently known as “Delia Smiths Norwich City” (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 16:51:33

- Great player, good ambassador (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Nov 11, 16:41:30
  - Most managers are meh tbh (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 11, 16:42:39
Staggered folk were more up for an unheard of, non prem or champs experienced (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Nov 11, 16:28:14
- But that's because we've become a hipster club! (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:30:51
  - So true we are a hipster club (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 16:35:38
    - you all use that word but I am not sure that you know what it means (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:38:16
      - Vmt^ (n/m) (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 11, 16:49:34
  - I think this could be a great appointment, the players will love a guy they watched win ev (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Nov 11, 16:34:09
    - I do too. He's also a pretty big character. Like your moniker (n/m) (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:38:31
    - That about the players is a big reassurance to me (NCFC) - NxNW, Nov 11, 16:37:44
    - I remember his part in the golden generation again failing at another major tournament! (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:37:02
      - If we're not hiring managers who didn't win anything with England that rules out everyone (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Nov 11, 16:49:06
        
        we could try Geoff Hurst (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:51:37
        
        Jack Charlton and Ouija board would be better!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 17:02:29
Interesting to know whether FL was always the target (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:13:58
- Personally I think the line that we had 2 top targets makes sense. (NCFC) - megson, Nov 11, 16:32:40
  - 6 figure salary role? Much more I'd have thought (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Nov 11, 16:56:50
- I think he probably was. And I don't think there's been anything chaotic about it (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:26:23
- The keeping prem status bit in sacking statement (NCFC) - KevinBond, Nov 11, 16:22:23
  - Yep. KK doesn't make sense in that regard at all. (NCFC) - thebigfeller, Nov 11, 16:29:17
- I think it was either KK or FL... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:19:30
  - I love the way (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:25:53
    - The rollercoaster of the project over the last 4 years has been amazing... (NCFC) - Maillot Jaune, Nov 11, 16:32:08
      - So agree with this and this is my big worry (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 16:36:25

- He was interviewed at the start of the week wasn’t he (n/m) (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 16:17:32
Seems like the local journos (inc Bailey) are getting zero out of the club on this one (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 16:09:02
- Sigh! I wish you hadn't said that. It's the hope that kills! (n/m) (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 16:14:42
  - On the balance of probability, it does seem likely to be true (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 16:17:38
- I hope it's not true, not least as I had £20 on KK this morning (n/m) (NCFC) - NxNW, Nov 11, 16:10:13
& I suppose if we go down, there's probably some sort of break clause (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:07:32
We are more likely to get a manager bounce with him I think (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:04:39
Is there anything out there other than from TalkSport? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:41:35
- bbc (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 11, 15:44:18

  - Crikey (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Nov 11, 15:56:44
    - bloody hell ..... !!! (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:06:19
    - well lets hope he knows that his job is to coach only - no recruitment (n/m) (NCFC) - pinkney, Nov 11, 15:58:31
      - Wouldn't you normally expect a coach to be on speaking terms with the players? (n/m) (NCFC) - Timmy_Goat, Nov 11, 16:00:30
        
        its normal for some to get frozen out whoever the manager is (n/m) (NCFC) - pinkney, Nov 11, 16:04:32
    - That could be untrue, of course (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:58:04
- Freezer said he’s imminent didn’t he (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 15:43:43
  - No - freezer said "looking increasingly likely..." (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:53:50
And Norwaay's point of a couple days ago - (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 15:35:16

    - Sure (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 15:57:45
    - In your case, I'm sure that's right (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:55:58
  - Don't hate him. Has always seemed a bit smug, but that's probs just his face (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 15:46:30
  - I don't get it either, he was a hugely successfull player, always been very eloquent (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Nov 11, 15:44:43
    - Well fuck it.. Lets bring BK8 back on board then. (n/m) (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, Nov 11, 16:04:39
      - are you OK? (n/m) (NCFC) - Malkybarneedledick, Nov 11, 16:06:16
        
        Of course, just thought why not go the full hog. (n/m) (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, Nov 11, 16:10:21
  - Same (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 15:41:52
I suppose I can see the reasoning (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 15:30:36
Think this board is being overly negative on lampard. (NCFC) - stanleh, Nov 11, 15:21:52
- Well said pal (n/m) (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Nov 11, 16:28:56
- He's the Talk Sport option. Very underwhelming but expected by all outside the club. (NCFC) - Dracula, Nov 11, 16:16:32
  - the "TalkSport option" - v well put (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:19:53
- Cant stand him (NCFC) - big member, Nov 11, 15:29:30

  - 106 England caps (n/m) (NCFC) - KevinBond, Nov 11, 15:35:23
    - 106 England Manager Caps? (NCFC) - big member, Nov 11, 15:39:44
      - He had no budget to improve Chelsea and got them into the CL (n/m) (NCFC) - bjg123, Nov 11, 15:43:58
        
        He didn't need to improve them (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 15:56:15
        
        oh yeah (NCFC) - big member, Nov 11, 15:45:10

- Obviously anything can happen (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 15:28:02
- I have little rational basis for it but I just don't like him (NCFC) - mr chimp, Nov 11, 15:26:55
- Agreed. Nagging doubts over whether he will sort the defence but (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 15:25:54
  - why do you keep saying he'll play gilmour?? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 15:31:43
    - Because he gave Gilmour his debut I believe and has said since he regrets not playing him (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 16:24:27
      - at chelsea (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 16:26:55
    - Don't think that's the debateable part (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 16:00:01
      - I'd pick vrancic over gilmour anyday (n/m) (NCFC) - KetteringRyu, Nov 11, 16:02:38
    - He does love Gilmour tbh (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 15:38:06
- agreed, did well at Derby, fantastic first season at Chelsea (NCFC) - bjg123, Nov 11, 15:24:39
  - Was his first season at Chelsea THAT fantastic? (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 15:40:16
    - Oof that’s a good fact. sigh (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 11, 15:43:49
  - How is coming 6th done well at derby? (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 15:29:43
    - did well to come only 5 below us (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 15:32:09
    - Well, look at them now. (NCFC) - APB, Nov 11, 15:31:23
- It’s more his ability at champ level that worries me… (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 15:23:56
  - That Derby squad wasn’t that strong. Did he spend much? (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 15:26:43

      - That southampton game, my word. Was at the Beanbag for that (NCFC) - megson, Nov 11, 15:41:19
Good luck Frank not my first choice (NCFC) - DiscoDale, Nov 11, 15:09:29
- Totally this. Whatever people think (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Nov 11, 15:13:12
  - Along Comes SCC28 (n/m) (NCFC) - Chris Peacock, Nov 11, 15:38:35

  - Honestly, I think it's going to be so difficult for me. The Daniel sacking and then the (NCFC) - Bravo win or die, Nov 11, 15:27:07
    - It's not good I agree (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 15:53:38
    - likewise (n/m) (NCFC) - jampersands, Nov 11, 15:41:41
Knutsen would probably do what the Brentford manager has done and.... (NCFC) - jimbo, Nov 11, 11:01:51
- Cantwell gets the dogs abuse because he is from Dereham (NCFC) - Munich93, Nov 11, 11:52:51
  - Nothing to do with that in my opinion. It's his attitude. He and Emi threw a strop last (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 11, 12:19:10
    - It's said their heads were turned, not that they threw a strop (NCFC) - Jester, Nov 11, 12:25:05
- Given he wouldn't be responsible for signings, that would be unlikely. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 11, 11:16:59
  - And there's a risk (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 11:34:05
    - Is the risk that different with any other manager? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:35:48
      - risk is different (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 11:41:06
        
        He wouldn't have sole responsibility for recruitment (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:43:28
  - Implies the manager will have no input into transfer targets. Highly unlikely. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Nov 11, 11:33:28
  - Pretty sure some of the Germans we signed were suggested by Farke (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Nov 11, 11:30:22
    - Yeah true... just think Webber's recruitment team now basically run the show (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 11, 12:24:56
    - Zimmerman (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:36:11
- I suspect that anyone hoping Todd/Billy (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Nov 11, 11:10:21
  - I think you might be surprised (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 12:13:50
    - he'd play gilmour because he's a chelsea player ...? (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 12:23:58
  - vmt (NCFC) - Charles21, Nov 11, 12:07:12
- Selling Todd in Jan would give new manager some budget (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 11:04:48
Villa show the way to transition from one manager to another. (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 11, 10:33:35
- Didn't realise we had a game tomorrow. (NCFC) - norwaay, Nov 11, 11:14:50
- Purslow knows Gerard personally. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 11:03:57
  - Not convinced by Stevie G (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 11:05:41
    - struggle to see it as an upgrade on dean smith (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 11:07:52
      - Doubt we will get much of an upgrade (NCFC) - CWC, Nov 11, 11:15:09
        
        & it may turn out (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 11:35:23
      - majority of managerial changes are just that (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Nov 11, 11:11:54
      - I suppose it makes a change to see a couple of young English managers (NCFC) - jamesward, Nov 11, 11:11:07
- Bigger pockets than we have (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Nov 11, 10:40:12
- Our problem might be that negotiations are taking place over Skype (n/m) (NCFC) - ghostof barry butler, Nov 11, 10:37:51
  - probably keeps cutting out (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 11:35:57
- Pick a target who doesn't give a sh*t about the club he is at? (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 10:35:39
Norwegian commentator thinks Knutsen could happen (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 09:37:24
- Davitt and the others on the pinkun podcast were suggesting he would be the long term (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 11, 09:55:06
  - he clearly looks a good, long term fit for us. The question has to be will he jump ship (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 11, 10:21:23
  - What do you mean? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:04:05
    - Meaning he is unlikely from their point of view. Suggesting someone not mentioned (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 11, 10:09:39
      - As in, they don't think Knutsen would have a short-term impact? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:14:07
        
        Yes basically saying won’t have the same impact as a “name” (n/m) (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 11, 10:17:37
        
        I don't really buy into that (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:18:37
- Think he's just a Norwich fan as well, chatting on it rather than knowing anything (n/m) (NCFC) - jAC, Nov 11, 09:49:50
  - Yes, that's right (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:50:35
- His profile pic is at Carrow Rd! (n/m) (NCFC) - Trent_Canary, Nov 11, 09:48:34
  - Yeah, he's the guy that did the pinkun stuff on Normann (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:50:18
- What I like about this is the perception that this is a great opportunity (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:41:55
  - At 53, having only ever coached in Norway (NCFC) - SCC 28, Nov 11, 09:43:15
    - And not as if he's been the name (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 09:47:01
      - Yes, although I guess the Roma result made people sit up and take note (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:48:39
        
        Im sure it did (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 09:55:13
        
        Show me a manager that isn't a risk? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:12:55
        
        there isn't one (NCFC) - paulg, Nov 11, 11:37:37
        
        This is my thinking... (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 11, 10:25:11
        
        VMT (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 10:26:03
        
        Yep. It's such a massive decision, I'm just thankful that its not down to me to take it! (NCFC) - Under soil heating, Nov 11, 09:58:56
    - Yep (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:44:00

- Really? He shouldn't leave Swansea yet, didn't Bruce do that early in his career? (Other Football) - megson, Nov 11, 09:28:12
  - I don't think this would be a good move for him (Other Football) - SimonOTBC, Nov 11, 09:45:39
  - But wasn't that to a club on the same level? (Other Football) - Kangol Canary, Nov 11, 09:32:02
    - I honestly can't remember, just that he jumped ship really quickly. (n/m) (Other Football) - megson, Nov 11, 11:08:08
