Frank Lampard - manager rumours


If the reason he (and others) haven’t signed is because there’s no coach, then whole DOF system is broken. The whole narrative about the necessity of the role is about consistency of style of play etc etc.

It clearly shows what players have little confidence in it (DOF) or him.

Either that or the money is shite
 
As said earlier, there's no evidence otherwise. I'm sure bookies will get the odd tip off on things like this- but doubt its commonplace. They'll only have the evidence of bets coming in, in general.

So it's just two people making claims that can't be backed up then. We'll never know why they shortened so significantly before it went viral on social media.
 
Some people’s reaction to this is crazy to me. People are clamouring for someone like Rosenior who in his management career has achieved absolutely nothing as yet.

Lampard got to a playoff final, FA cup final, champions league later stages (which they went on to win) got champions league football for a team with a transfer embargo after having sold their best player. A lot of this is forgotten because of his brief time as caretaker when they were a complete mess which Poch struggled to improve.

People saying his time at derby was a failure is mental. Yes he had a good squad but that was an unbelievably competitive championship. He lost the final 2-1 to villa who had McGinn, Grealish and Tammy Abraham starting.

He wouldn’t be my first choice but he hasn’t been the abject failure people are making out and crucially for me he has got something to prove.
Agree I think the second spell at Chelsea did a lot of damage to his reputation when the club was and still is a basket case of a club. He’s done ok everywhere he’s been really. Not my first choice but given what’s been linked could be best of a bad bunch that’s left.
 
Good manager, average manager or bad manager... he's still got to somehow get a tune out of the dross that Speakman will sign for him this summer.
 
Lampard has done far more in the game than any of the other managers we’ve been linked with. I’d take him over Still, Rosenior, Marti etc. I see could see him having the Roy Keane effect here which he did with the youngsters at Derby.
 
I just think he might do okay here.
Think he’ll get the respect of the players and I think Hargreeaves seems a level headed person who might be a good foil for Lampard.
Might be utter shite, but you never know
It's safc .. no lourdes. We don't do miracles for the sick and Lame


It's the toughest job he's had and his records is poor

Lampard would be good. We need a high profile appointment. He will have the utmost respect from all the players. He will be hungry to do well which can only benefit us. I also guess he will be able to attract players to the club. Happy days if true like
