Supporters’ Views on Frank Lampard as Coventry City’s Next Head Coach

Frank Lampard has been widely associated with the vacant head coach position at Coventry City since Mark Robins’ dismissal three weeks prior. Supporters featured on BBC Radio CWR’s Sky Blues Fancast have shared their perspectives on Lampard as a prospective new manager. CJ Joiner stated: “I wouldn’t be against Lampard coming in at all. I think he did have a reasonable record at Chelsea given the circumstances you’re working in.” He added, “Forget about that second spell, but the first spell, he did very well, I thought. Got to a cup final, fourth place. I think he did very well there.” Matt Cattell commented on the situation, saying: “Doug [King] is in a position here; if he made the decision too quickly, makes the wrong appointment, everybody is going to turn toxic and go against him.” He continued, “We’ve got a good calibre list there of potential candidates, to be talking about Lampard and [Lee] Carsley and [Steve] Cooper.” Adam Sloman expressed his view, stating: “I think Lampard would be a good appointment. I just want to get someone in post and get behind them now.” Sloman further remarked, “And stop all the questioning that has been going on and some of the negativity that it’s brought out of us as a fanbase.” He concluded, “I think Cooper’s sacking probably comes a week too late for him to really be a candidate. But it would be nice to just get it done and dusted.”
