COVENTRY OWNER DOUG King has revealed that Frank Lampard is a contender to replace Mark Robins as the next Sky Blues boss.
King said the former Chelsea, Derby and Everton boss is among a large number of interested parties in the vacant post.
He told Sky Sports: “We’ve received a huge amount of CVs from high-quality people of which Frank is one.
“We’ve done nothing on that process… but clearly we’re in the international break, we’ll be assessing everything.
“We’ll work out who’s going to make the shortlist and we’ll go from there.”
Robins was dismissed last week after seven years in charge of the club, with Rhys Carr handed the interim head coach role until a permanent successor is confirmed.
I’m pretty sure this is a bad move ..
They can do much better than this chancer
@damien reidy: if they replace mark Robins with this lad they deserve what’s coming
@Brian Dunne: both the appointment and outcome are inevitable
@Niall Brady: I feel your right, so I guess Franckball will look good in League 1 next year
The sacking of Mark Robins was scandalous in the first place but then to read this makes it ten times worse.
@Conor Brown: He deserved better treatment than what had been shown to him , short memories serve these people well
@Conor Brown: not overstating it to day he pretty much saved the club in his time there..some how managed to keep the club competitive while playing in Northampton & Birmingham…incredible! A pen kick away from the premier league and a toe nail from an FA Cup final…Frank has big shoes on fill!!!!
@James Dowling: and a big head!
Robbie Keane
Why???
@JT Quinn: Because its easy , maybe they think he can get decent loan players from Chelsea, but that’s just dreaming
Please God give it to the fraud. And Coventry get relegated. They deserve each other.
@Michael Carroll: could you expand on the reason for the Covo dislike?
@James Dowling: I’m presuming it’s because of their treatment of Mark Robins, shabby, is being kind.
Could this be considered Coventry sending themselves ‘to Coventry’?
@Eoghan Kenny: He might have visited the city center on a Sunday
@damien reidy: that was meant for James Dowling
