Frank Lampard - manager rumours


I've just drove past the AOL and someone was wearing a red and white scarf in the car park, not sure if it was Lampard or a Sunderland fan
As fanatics are in charge of the club shop now, it's safe to assume the owner of that scarf bought it a few years ago... we're safe...
 
Appointing someone who's been out of work the entire time we've been without a head coach would be really great stuff.

Massively underwhelming but not unexpected at all if it turns out to be true.

I watched an interview the other day with Lampard and he was saying how he tried to sign the following players when he was at chelsea but got ignored...

Haaland
Bellingham
Vinicius JR
Rice

Think there are a few more, but all of these before they were house hold names.

Imagine chelsea now if they'd backed him instead of signing Ziyech and Werner
 
I would hate to think any potential manager decided to have a look at the clubs main fans forum. No matter how good someone might be there are always the neg ferrets.
Could be enough to put a manager off!!
 
Jesus wept. He's been shite everywhere, but still apparently better than our other options.
He hasn’t been shite mind. Did well at Derby narrowly missing promotion. If you look at what happened to Derby after he left, they massively fell off which eventually led to League 1. In hindsight I reckon he should have stuck with them rather than go to Chelsea, but he actually did decent there in his first stint getting them Champions League and was sacked over transfer disagreements. Lampard actually identified players now who are class in the PL. Everton he kept up, but you could argue it was the minimum expectation- but they haven’t exactly excelled since he left. Last stint at Chelsea was obviously shite, I’ll give you that.

He’d be an interesting one imo, he’ll have a point to prove.
