Frank Lampard - manager rumours


Starting to come out now that this is, of course, nonsense.

Ask yourself….is a club who has been accused relentlessly of penny pinching and having a budget that novice managers find too restrictive likely to pay the wage demanded by someone who has been earning a fortune for the best part of two decades?

Got Derby County to the Championship Play Off Final. Got Chelsea into the Champions League.

Had awful spells at Everton (who hasn't recently?) and again at Chelsea (at the end of an unsuccessful season when they'd probably about given up on the season anyway).

Don't get me wrong, I'd have been very underwhelmed with Lampard a month ago. But the longer this debacle goes on the more desperate I get and at this point I think I'd be relieved!

Phil Smith from the echo reporting there is nothing imminent as far as Lampard expected and sources close to situation are baffled with the links today.

I wonder if they are the same 'sources close to the situation' who seem to know nothing? They might be 'baffled with the links today'. They might also be baffled generally, given their general lack of knowledge....
 
There’s a few lads on here making mad money on the betting market starting off rumours between groups of them which (like 99.99% of rumours on here) turn out to be utter shite.

Without being a massive Lampard fan I do think this does involve a lot revisionism and people speaking in hindsight. It's been used as a stick to beat him for years. Appears to be mostly based around Mason Mount and Tomori when neither were exactly well known at the time. Their top scorer that season was Martyn Waghorn and Richard Keogh was captain, doesn't exactly scream promotion.

Norwich won the league with the likes of Pukki and Buendia in the team, Sheff United finished second with a team that was barely improved upon and finished 9th in the Prem the year after. Bielsa's Leeds finished third, Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez got the best part of 50 goals between them for West Brom, Villa finished 5th that year and had Tyrone Mings at the back, John McGinn in midfield, Tammy Abraham up front and Jack Grealish as captain who already started looking like a Premier League player the year before when we were in the league.

Good post mate, you've genuinely convinced me :lol:

Dreadful manager who got to a play off final in his first season, finished 4th with Chelsea and got to an FA cup final and kept Everton up. Yet to have someone give me the reasons as to why he is so terrible.

Weird.

He’s got a London accent. That’s usually enough for a fair chunk of our support.
