A bit late in the day perhaps but, in the interests of clarity and in keeping with the Gasroom’s reputation for maturity and intelligent use of language, could this thread be retitled “Coventry City interest in Matt Bloomfield” ?
No, this was High Wycombe Rugby Club. A safe space for Angry Cambrians to belittle young teenagers while simultaneously making them feel grown up by serving them Pints of Guinness in the club house circa 1996
You're overlooking his experience with Everton and Derby and full time at Chelsea.
You are of course quite right to do so, he's been terrible everywhere, but maybe just maybe next time, with a poorer squad and less money he'll be able to succeed.....
You can't say Derby finishing 6th is terrible. Especially after the misery they've had since.
And I hate this, as you've got me defending Lampard for some reason - his first Chelsea spell was when they had an actually upheld transfer ban. Normally the usual clubs get the threat of a ban, and it gets withdrawn.
Yes, Frank has been a mixed bag. Got the cheaters Rams to a playoff final, made top 4 with Chelsea under an embargo, and I think made an FA Cup final? No defending Everton and second Chelsea reign, but when you think about the jumps between the divisions, he might be a fit for Coventry.
Go on Cov - take Lampard.
Either way, the idea of Blooms going there now feels like it is drifting away, thankfully.
I've already agreed with that, tbh managers are only ever one part of an overall story and I'd rather they got experience in difficult situations than did nothing. I think btw Lampard did alright with the transfer ban and bringing through players he had on loan at Derby , all very much downhill for him since then.

It's a game you can lose because someone smashes the ball 100feet over 2 posts. Which you can't possibly hope to defend.
Great all body workout though.

We've had a few players like that over the years.
They do have a cock telling them which way to go though!
I still have nightmares of an angry Welshman shouting "Ruck over" at a group of 15 year olds the top of his voice for what felt like an eternity.
I had no idea what he was trying to tell us. Which probably explains why he was angry and why he would repeat it constantly.
Only sometimes. Sometimes they are daring and go cock less.
Maybe they are the ones that can't find the little man in a boat, though.
Don't eight it, rowing two is a sport four all.
I just thought I would stick my oar in.
I fully endorse Frank for the Coventry job, he will do a bang up job.
Big clubs need big names.
Did you go to the Tech then? The shouting angry Welshman sounds awfully like basher Bissett.
Not sure who to thank but would like to express my appreciation for the updating of the thread title.
Coventry? They've offered me the managers job. I had a win percentage of 9% as Chelsea's caretaker manager. That kind of stuff doesn't go unnoticed.

How long before the ‘Blooms to Luton,’ thread starts.
Bissett was a psycho
He wasn't terrible at Derby .
You are right, it's Morris' fault he spent a bloody fortune and they went bust, didn't go up but not terrible.

Coventry fans at Sunderland today. Whoever takes that job is going to be Alan Smith
Lampard going in thinking he's the dog's bollocks and has to change everything at the club would definitely be a Sm*thler tribute act.
Would say the odds of Luton sacking Edwards is quite high now. Maybe Coventry will go for him.
Blooms to Man City.
I think this could be how it shakes out:
Coventry: Lampard
Luton: Robins
Bolton: Edwards
Rotherham: Ainsworth
Shrewsbury: Ten Hag
Three Counties 5-0-5 - “I’ve not heard anything about that [on links to Coventry job]” - BBC Sounds
From about 3:20, Matt saying nobody has spoken to him about Coventry, also talks about Scott Mitchell leaving.
He’s not happy about the Mitchell decision at all is he?
