Frank Lampard - manager rumours


John J Rambo said:
- His stature and profile in the game, he'll have players respect immediately.
- Lifts the profile of the club.
- Players will want to play for him, either those here or potential new players.
- He won't be phased at all by size of club and expectations.
- Not a chance he's accepting the job without assurances from owner.
- Got Derby into the play off final.
- Winning mentality and will be a huge influence on likes of Neil and Rigg.
- A club like ours, needs someone with a bit about them. Far too many get eaten alive by it and he's been there, done it and then some, where he'll embrace all that.

Only reasons I'm seeing people say no, is because he struggled at Everton, like many have and because of who he votes for.

Any realistic target will split opinion. I'd rather Cifuentes, but can also see why this could be decent.

Good post and agree with a lot of that.

Would prefer MC, but Lampard wouldn’t be as bad as some of the names mentioned. Might be a good fit.

I am in no way decrying Frank's ability as a coach, but what the hell does he want to be coming to Sunderland for?
Serious question, can you imagine Christine Bleakley and the little Lampards uprooting to move to a nice house in Whitburn (him a London lad and her a TV personality).
Best case scenario we get a part time manager for a few days a week, who does not want to be here other than he needs a regular pay day until he is sacked (David Moyes springs to mind).
Would love a good coach who is committed to the cause, I don't know about the good coach bit, but I really don't see the rest. Hope I am wrong and that if it is him , he falls in love with the area, Christine takes over from Dawnie on Look North and we have a happy promotion ending. Do fairytale's happen in real life ?, be nice if they did.

Yeah I was gutted, how wrong I was. He was just about the best appointment we could have made given our predicament....what a great journey we went on during those 7 years.

Love Reidy me like.
