[66DegreesNorth]

Frankie is on the drift with most betting markets, from 1/25 to 1/16 !!

Strangely he’s probably proved more than Lampard as a manager, despite being a league below. 

No argument from me there. Find it odd SSN haven’t mentioned yet, unless I’ve missed it. 

[MuespachRam]

Great that Bowyer is available....Mel, go out and get him in and let Fat boy go "home"

 

( @David you will be buying a yacht off the back of this thread!)

[Jimbo Ram]

This is getting tedious now. Mel needs to give Chelski a deadline for any approach, by end of play Wednesday I reckon. If we don't hear from them by then any future request will be rejected. We need to start planning for next season...who is likely to sign for us with all this uncertainty and not knowing who they will be playing under?

[Pearl Ram]

Never mind next season, it’s Frank’s birthday on Thursday, Mel needs to know whether to cancel the cake he’s ordered.

[EnigmaRam]

So basically another days gone by  and nothing’s happened still.

Skybet still 1/20 with second favourite Benitez 9/1

Franks an amateur if he's satisfied with a cake. Yaya Toure slapped in a transfer request for not getting a 250k car didn't he.......?

[Jourdan]

So that’s it.

The social media reveal will be Frank starting the bounce on a yacht in St. Tropez with Jody, Roman, Marina, and Sophie from CFTV in their club branded swimwear looking like a smug set of synchronised swimmers.

I agree, but if (and big if) SSN are correct, Frank has a buy out clause in his contract, so if triggered we can’t actually stop it. Not ideal if that’s true.

Manager's don't have buy-out clauses. Its not an offer based system, its a compensation based system.

Not a buy out clause but a compensation clause which is triggered if having approached Derby and had permission granted to speak to the manager and said manager wishes up take the job then the level of compensation is pre set in his contract.

If permission is denied to speak to the manager then if the rules are followed that is the end of the matter but it rarely is.

What should be added to the rule in these cases is the manager less club should pay a fee if the manager turns down the job  for disrupting the other clubs daily business.

but was probably the only basis on which we could get him to sign for us.......its Franks insurance policy assuming he was shrewd enough to have insisted on it.

For somebody who teaches online marketing, this whole debacle is a fascinating example of the endowment effect in action and FOMO.The endowment effect is when we put more value on something we already own than something we don't. There seem to be a lot of people who weren't bothered whether we got Frank or not, who are now vehemently against him leaving.
 

This comment doesn't do a lot for 'online marketing' . Not surprising more want him to stay after the experience of last season - surely online marketing wouldn't suggest otherwise. It probably applies to your good self.

I don't get how the headline is justified by the rest of the article? 

It says again that no approach from Chelsea and Derby want to push on with Frank

Yes he probably would when Chelsea make an approach and when Mel tells him  he can.

therefore we haven’t learnt anything new. Also this is from a newspaper who are trying to sell copy.

So a lot of bets have been placed on FL, means nothing more than that. 

Still Rams manager.
