Frank Lampard - manager rumours


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.
He's managed in the premier league for starters, no matter how people think he did, he's got that experience.
 
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.
That's it, make of it what you will.
If it is, he can't be much worse than some of the names we've been associated with. And his name alone may help attract incoming players (if he's given any sort of budget!).
 
Why?

I wouldn't because he seems clueless, uninspiring and inflexible. He will never succeed and would never manage a bigger club than us if he did get it is my prediction.
because the other 2 have done nout either and a think still would of been a disaster if am honest , rosenior sacked by one of our promotions rivals isnt very inspiring however the chance of a premier league manager is to me

He's not a premier league manager mind, and never will be again. I'm pleased it's inspired you though, a feelgood factor in this shit show is always welcome 👍
 
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
The same people who state that he won't sign without knowing who the HC is are generally the same people that state that Speakman picks the team as he has guaranteed that Jobe plays every game. If true and it certainly seem that way I don't think having a HC matters if Speakman has that power as he can also give CR the same/similar guarantees

We really let ourselves down with the loan market last season. We were treated to Amad the season prior and had a good season.

You’d expect if Lampard is the man, we’d get a couple of good loanees in.

I’d be surprised if it was him, I thought his demands would be on the expensive side.
