What's people's views? How's it clicking for them so well? Is it the manager/players/a combination? Could they be this season's Ipswich? |  | | |  |

They went through the wringer in the 2010s certainly but a part of me still thinks "fúck 'em" for the way their scum fans reacted after the match, outside the ground in the winner takes all Eoin Jess game in '96. |
This. Shouldn't do but just does. I'm not alone. |  | | |

That's about it, yes. |
Or they could come up from the Champ and buck the trend (which isn't even as much of a trend than the usual money = success dullards claim) like Forest or Palace or Bournemouth (currently, oh yes, 4th) or (sigh) Brentford. In other words, even if the game changed so much we played it in the sky, do something there's no reason QPR can't (still playing at LR). [Post edited 8 Oct 23:01]

Absolutely agree with you. I would like Lampard as our manager. To hell with his Chelsea connection he is a winner. Having won Champions League and Premier League titles as a player the man knows what it takes to achieve success. Lest people forget, Dave Sexton had been at Chelsea before he oversaw our best ever team and we have had good players who previously played for Chelsea.
Lampard has made Coventry an ever better team with an attack attitude. To win consecutive away games 4-0 and 5-0 a few days apart is excellent. When do we win like that at the New Den or Hillsborough? For a team with just 5 wins it is some stat to have a plus 20 GD.
Whether it will last is another matter as the parachute teams Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton are likely to be in the mix at the end of the season so too early to say if Lampard can keep them playing attacking football. |
F*ck no. | | | |

No, no and no again.
"knows what it takes to achieve success". Yes, bucketloads of billionaire money and no restrictions on spending it. That's what got Chelsea there in Lampard's time.
Lets not forget that until Man City got cashed up, for several years Chelsea could basically outbid any club in the world for players and managers. Lets also not forget how average Lampard was for England when not surrounded by top players from around the world hand picked by his billionaire club.
Lampard may turn out to be a good manager but he has several failures on his CV already, including at Derby where he had a lot at his disposal to get promoted. He's walked into a very well run club and they're currently flying. Lets see if it lasts the season. See Graham Potter for a recent example of a manager who looked great at a well run club and not so great elsewhere, even with the riches at his disposal when with Chelsea. | | | |

Frank as Manager, Dennis Wise as Assistant Manager. And John Terry as our Inclusion and Diversity Manager. Call us Shepherds Bush Blues.
Nah fk that.
Even if we hired Frank (shudder...) and he did well, he's still eventually going to start doing less well or leave, which would put us in the same position we were in before except that now we are the club that hired Frank Lampard. A club of dirty bitches. Lampard-hiring, Chelsea cocksuckers. |  |

I agree. I was interested in everyone's views and hadn't really looked at them myself but as people had mentioned this and checking their recent transfer record they're pretty much like a parachute club transfer-wise. They spent 37 million Euros two seasons ago and 20 million last season, largely on the back of selling Gyokeres and Hamer.
Frank is working with a settled team of players at their peak. Stephan is blending together overseas, U21 and League 1 players inexperienced in this Division and we're only four points behind them. Of course they're way ahead of us player-value wise and overall quality of the squad but you could argue Stephan is doing more with less in terms of added value. | | | |

I've been on this planet for 50 years and we're now at the point where being Coventry is some how seen as aspirational. What even is this world anymore.
You never would have dreamt it. Being Coventry can't ever be a good thing. I don't care if they sell out to Sheik Muhummad El-Bitcoin and end up in the top four of the Prem, I'd never aspire to be them.
Everyone sucks off The Specials but f**k that too. Rest in Peace but Terry never had the most charisma or talent and really if you take out their three best singles, the rest was kind of blah.
Give me QPR every day of the week. Give me London. West London. The Clash, Killing Joke, The Who, The Stones.
You know who's from Coventry? Mark King from the band King. Love and Pride. Used to be a coppa, they don't tell you that do they? | |
