Dean Smith - Confirmed

[eamonn]

Did we ever find out if Dyche is a 40 fags a day man or he was just born with the larynx of a wombat?

[steamer]

No thank yo

[ChicagoLion]

Only giving every team a one goal start?

When can you start?

Genius

[N'ZMAV]

Got a weird feeling Frank Lampard's going to be our next manager. Might check out the odds.

what makes you think that? can't see Chelsea sacking him.

[PeterWithesShin]

Alan Pardew is available...

[Legion]

KFC are hiring.

[LeeB]

Old but still funny.

[PeterWithesShin]

Even more reason to hire him, he'd be the Lions King.

Not now but in 12 months time perhaps.

When Chelsea transfer ban is lifted expectations will inevitably increase and plenty of their managers get sacked if they're miles off a league challenge. It's not a club where even succesful managers like Mourinho or Conte stay more than 3 years.

Depends on timing but if DS keeps us up he'll still be here next season. Lampard's done well enough this season to be there next season aswell. After that it wouldn't shock me if both clubs are looking for managers in summer 2021 or whenever 20-21 actually ends.

Now given what Wes has said recently about playing decent football and also I imagine more emphasis on youth team and improving the flow to first team in next few years I'd say Lampard would be a serious consideration for them.

Even if John Terry has moved on from us by that point you can certainly see him recommending Lampard for the job if asked his opinion by the owners which I imagine they will.

He wouldn't be my first choice and it all depends on timing but I'd imagine he'd figure pretty highly on our shortlist if he's out of work the next time we change manager. Already got CL experience which would surely be something owners would also be looking for.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Dyche is on our radar again, apparently.

I would like Dyche to manage us, I think he would be a good fit. Not sure if that is now. I always thought that Martin Jol would have been excellent after two seasons of MON.

FTFY

We'll never learn.

I can certainly see logic in this.

We're almost on Page 500 of this thread (or Page 5 if you're Legion - the endless scroll, huh?). He's done well Dean, wonder how many pages Dr Jo would have got.

[cdbearsfan]

It's page 150. Honestly, tsk. 🙄

I will bow to your superior knowledge, jeez

[Mister E]

Poch targeted by Jawdies' new owner.
He's a class act ...



... just sayin', like.
