What would be on Franks cv to say he could manage a Championship football club? Has he even managed a youth team anywhere? A non-league team? Just a thought. How would a lot if not the majority of managers have got their first jobs if past experience was the major criteria ? What would our history be like if Hartlepools had said to a young Clough ‘Great interview son but you’ve never managed before so we’ll be going down the old fart that’s been sacked everywhere else route’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see why Lampard is a bad choice. It seems popular with the fans and it is an unknown whether it will be a success. None of the others have though.

He failed to take us up in his first season. He knew the score. He bailed out because he thinks Stoke have a better chance of going up and their reputation of lumping the ball forward suits his style. A match made in heaven if you ask me.

What's the difference to this from a year ago? Quote Asked about the possibility of more new signings, Rowett said: "We would like to add but I think the problem with adding at this point is that we have some really good players and to get a player that is going to give us a little bit more than what we have, you are talking about telephone numbers (for fees).

Even if 100% of fans wanted Frank, and it went pear shaped, fans wouldn't be berating themselves. Just trying to think who a suitable candidate ( to blame) might be.?

If I said black you’d say white wouldn’t you ? Remind me where Dalglish (2 league winner titles to his name at least) started off, where was he coach ? what lower league team was that because their name escapes me.

You're not allowed to disagree with certain posters, don't you know?! Sensible comment. Of course, we all hope Frank does well and proves us doubters wrong. We will support him and not start a get him out campaign if early results are poor. When was the last time we had a good start to the season?

He didn't start at the club that finished 26th in the football pyramid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
