Frank Lampard - manager rumours

[Thornton]

If it’s not Lampard then who is left on the list

Alan Curbishley, David O'Leary, John Gregory, Brian Kidd, Christian Gross etc. Loads of options left yet.

Cifuentes

Sounds like an STD

I'm not in any way claiming to be ITK, despite my background in the media, but I was at a former players' event on Tuesday when a member of our 1973 squad got a message - from a contact in Italy - saying that Lampard was set to be announced.

So that is why you didnt mention it at all on here until Friday after some Lampard related content was broken by someone else!

Lampard & Cifuentes.

Is there anything “solid” linking us to either of them? Or is it just word of mouth on here/socials?

That's all its been all summer though and people taking it as gospel, people turned us down etc. One thing that is certain, club have kept it close to their chest.

Thinking about it I think Lampard is worth a go. Big name and maybe it would work

 

[Uromastyx]

How do you know it's not Lampard, who's your source?

It's Julio - everyone is a source.

 

[Rizla]

There's no reliable source for this beyond this thread and apparently a screenshot mock-up, right?

Nixon linking Cifuentes although not much for a few days and the silly mock up seems to be the only Lampard link. So sweet FA really.

 

[GillytheGilf]

Absolutely laughable

He’s useless like. What’s he done anywhere apart from lose games hand over fist,?

 

[SAFC Wilks]

At this point, might as well can’t be worse than Dodds ball

Get in

Get #WilksIn trending

Ill always remember how disappointed I was the day we announced Peter Reid. Just saying.

I wasn't underwhelmed with him, but I was when he signed Quinn! I remembered thinking he was just another tall donkey, following in the footsteps of Hauser, Harford and Angell.

Nothing from any journos on Lampard and the only journo linking us with Cifuentes is Nixon

 

[zidanny]

Another 2k posts and will end up being some idiot we’ve never heard of from the Scottish third division.

It’s looking like that statement from KLD saying it was imminent was about Jansen and then he went out the running

 

[Super Ted]

Bit bored ....

Logon or register to see this image

I don't really look that much like Michael Beale in real life

The irony between :

“Appointmenting”

and

“A club computer reviewed how much sense each poster spoke”

1 week since the ‘imminent’ announcement man, honestly the club are beyond a laughing stock now.

They are taking the p**s out of all of us.

 

[Ageing Grey Mackem]

It’s looking like that statement from KLD saying it was imminent was the usual apathetic horseshite designed to keep supporters quiet for a bit longer, before revealing some no-mark as head coach towards the end of June.

Tidied.

That would work, if his odds hadn't dropped significantly before it went viral. There have been plenty of silly rumours like the one we saw this morning, with screenshots etc, that haven't caused the odds to drop much, if at all.

I'm just struggling to see how he went from 6-8/1 to pretty much evens when it was only being discussed on this forum at the time. Therfore, it sounds more likely to be your b) example.

They drop because of money going on . It takes hardly anything to move a next manager market. If you want an example years ago there was someone I fancied for the Sunderland job who wasn’t in the betting. I asked them to add him and they did so at about 10/1 from memory

 

[STID]

Warmed to the idea of him tbf (which like Rosenior probably means it isn’t going to happen!).

Obviously the jury is out after he was pretty shit at Everton (I won’t judge his 2nd spell at Chelsea as they’re a basket case); but if he can get the young players going like he did at Derby and Chelsea (first time), then he might not be such a bad appointment.

I believe even his first spell at Chelsea he wasn’t on speaking terms with some of the players when he left, so his man management is not the best

Dodds
