Frank Lampard

Like hiring OGS but with a smaller squad of lesser quality players. What were they thinking?

Re: Frank Lampard

Wonder if he broke his other hand today, but this time out of frustration and desperation.

Re: Frank Lampard

Can't get my head around top clubs who employ famous ex-players in the belief that they are destined to become great managers. Even Chelsea fell into that trap prior to getting Tuchel.

Yes Pep had a decent playing career but Klopp, Tuchel, Wenger, Ferguson etc etc er no.

There will always be exceptions to the rule but not many players follow up a stellar playing career by achieving top honours as a coach/manager.

Re: Frank Lampard

He's starting to talk nonsense as well. I wonder if he'll be given big funds to rebuild in the pre season. They'll stay up, Frank will get them hovering around mid Table next season, sacked after being humiliated by Brentford, then onto his next job, probably high end championship.

Re: Frank Lampard

If he’d been at Goodison a bit longer he would have been sacked by now. Half decent player,no good as a manager.

I don't think they can spend big funds because of FFP,
Wouldn't be to sure about them staying up either.
One bad decision after another may finally catch them out.

The stuff he came out with yesterday was ludicrous.

“There is only so much you can keep trying to butter someone up to get confidence,” the manager said. “You’re playing at the cut-throat end of football; this is the FA Cup quarter-finals. If you haven’t got the confidence to play, you can flip it and say: ‘Have you got the bollocks to play?’"

WTF sort of message does that send to the players? "When I told you you were good I was lying"?

They are struggling with FFP at the moment. They wont be spending big.

That's parks stuff, isn't it?

Ah, ok, that's good news then :hehe: I hope they do go down, although i think that it'll be the three that are there at the moment.

That's known in the game as inverted double reverse psychology, which is a cutting edge motivational strategy.

Unfortunately for Frank Lampard this job is a little harder than realising that Mason Mount was better than Ikechi Anya

Reminded me of Vinny Jones.

Re: Frank Lampard

Xavi has turned Barcelona round impressively, so some players can do it. Gerrard looks the business as well. Doesnt look like Frank has it though, which surprised me as i thought he'd be good considering he's Mensa. Seems like stupid logic now.
