Frank Lampard - manager rumours

Most championship? maybe - but premier league? give owa, we might have Sunderland tinted glasses on but to suggest that its madness. The amount of media coverage in the prem alone makes it far more scrutinized and pressurised than any championship job, then add in the finances involved, the differences it makes to peoples lives and careers etc etc etc

Fuck me mate is this your first day on the internet?

I am allowed to have a different point of view than you without it being “madness”

Stress isn’t the same as pressure it’s the reaction to it.

If you think scrutiny or club finances create stress for multi millionaire managers who work in an industry where failure isn’t a career killer and the manager merry-go-round means that there’s always a next job then you need to have another think.

It’s not the normal man’s mindset.

im not having a go pal, just stating an opinion.

Out of interest what criteria make Sunderland a more high pressurised managerial position than most prem teams in your opinion??

It’s not more pressurised. It does create more stress.

The expectation of most managers of 75% in the PL is survival or stepping stone to a bigger job. Where if you stay in a job for longer than two seasons they start taking statues.

The Sunderland job is a poison chalice simply by walking through the door you are risking your career, look at where the string of managers that have left us ended up - no one goes on to better things. Some can’t even get another halfway decent job or even a job!

Whether it’s the sleeping giant expectations, the fanbase size, the total immersion of the club into life, society down to the very fabric of people I don’t know.

Bu clearly something about being SAFC manager kills the spirit, confidence and resilience of previously well regarded managers. The proof is there.

Moyes would probably beg to differ.
 
Lampard will probably turn his nose up at us if he was approached, which I think it highly unlikely that he will be approached.

Allardyce left us to become England manager. Moyes resigned, went to West Ham, kept them up, left then went back, achieved two top 7 Premier League finishes and won a European trophy. That's in the last 10 years.

That’s fair. I’ve tried to obliterate Mr Moyes from my memory.

But fair. So that’s one.

Fair. Although Sam had a penchant for brown envelopes and hasn’t done owt since. An average win ratio of 22% at the 4 clubs since the England one and out.

But apart from that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

That was down to him though, nothing to do with us as a club.

After Moyes, we've had Grayson eho went on to 3 or 4 other jobs and did nowt, Coleman went to China over a year later, Ross went to Hibs, finished mid table, reached the semi-final of the Scottish League Cup, finished 3rd in the SPL, reached the Scottish Cup Final and also got them into the Scottish League Cup final but was sacked a week before it was played. Parkinson has arguably been a success at Wrexham, Johnson failed at Hibs and Fleetwood, Neil failed at Stoke and it was arguably far too early to judge Mowbray at Birmingham before he took ill.

Pretty even over the last 10 years for managers/head coaches who have left us.
