yellow_belly 226 Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Hi all, I did mention this week that Lampard was in Dubai this week (on holiday etc) and that Webber caught a flight out on Wednesday to meet him on Thursday! (I even gave the clue to someone on here .. “Do Buy or not to buy”) My sources are 100% accurate. What I do know is where the meeting took place, who was there and that Lampard has been offered the job. What I don’t know… if Lampard likes the contract and what has been promised. My understanding is that Lampard is coming back to be unveiled to the press… hence the delay. That’s what I know. I am also flying back from Dubai… so will update when I hear more..!

BroadstairsR 2,202 Posted November 12, 2021 Which means that Frankie will not have seen the jewel in our crown, Colney or have sampled one of Delia's delights in the restaurant. Perhaps he did a virtual tour of the facility, and Webber took a lunch box, apple, Kit-Kat and mayonnaise sachet included. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,299 Posted November 12, 2021 I was heavily doubting you at the time and hunting for any information with Lampard being in Dubai at the time to see if you were picking up from second hand reports. But, Absolutely nothing was coming up, so it's clear you knew where Lampard was when no-one has was saying it, and after you said deal done Talksport are reporting it. So.. Have no doubts in what you said, the doubt perhaps is more in whether this is a done deal or not. Seems that the media have zoned in on Webber's dealings this time, but not surprising now we're more high profile. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was trying not to say too much, too early but… I was not making things up … I just can’t get into Lampard’s head to know what he is thinking but guessing that they chatted before the sacking..!?! I believe it is deal done but football is strange! Edited November 12, 2021 by yellow_belly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frank Lampard's Argos By Richard Pick (The Sun) Frank Lampard's Norwich City's Frank Lampard, said he was "Unaware" that Norwich even had the internet before stepping in to fill the vacant position. "First it was 15mb Wifi that shocked me, then Stuart [Webber] pointed out a nearby Argos store from the Carrow Road conference window that left me aghast". The ex-Chelsea midfielder, also said he was eyeing up housing in a "perfect area" of Norwich, with a "H&M, Costa and Boots nearby". His comments proved popular on social media, with one person commenting: "Imagine when Frank discovers we have a Nando's" In an interview in the Championship club's official programme during the 2018/2019 season, Onel Hernandez of Frank Lampard's Norwich City (before they were Frank Lampard's Norwich City) said of Argos: "You can order bikes, TVs - we don't have this in Germany." A formal guide of the riverside complex is to be completed by the club and Frank Lampard over a 24 period as part of his "bedding in" to the area. It is expected that all retail outlets in the city shall be prefixed with the Chelsea and England international's name.

I have often stayed quiet on information received but will happily share now… as long it doesn’t harm the club. I am quite enjoying posting on here. It’s fun !

yellow_belly 226 Posted November 12, 2021 For example , the club was not a happy place under Farke. This was a reason for his dismissal. I think we will have Gilmour and Cantwell back in the team going forward. It is like having two new players! The training wasn’t up to much this season and questions were being asked. This (and a few other reasons) was why I was firmly in the Farke out group. Who knows if Lampard will be good for us, but we have to believe that he can do. He is determined to succeed and is a serial winner. Hope this rubs off on the players. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,276 Posted November 12, 2021 If both of them 'need convincing' then it might be a bit worrying. I suspect both will want double the money Farke was on and a pledge to strengthen the squad in January. Smith definitely is in New York even if Lampard isn't in Dubai.
