[Football] Frank Lampards Coventry ?

[nickbrighton]

Not convinced by Mr Lampards- high profile player does not always equal good manager-and he hasn't really done much to improve a team in previous posts-just tread water really

Frank Lamp"out the SkyBlues" pard-on the interruption manager.

Him, Gerrard, Terry (probably) will be the "how do they keep getting work" dinosaur managers of footballs future. They'll achieve basically nothing and continue to get work regardless.

Sky already creaming themselves over the potential showing of Frank Lampard’s Coventry vs Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth

He gets a rough ride imo.
England legend who always turned up and gave his all.
He did well at Derby.
Struggled at Everton, along with pretty much everyone else who tried.
Not great at Chelsea but it was a strange gig.
He comes across as a decent bloke who has a genuine desire to succeed in football.
Good luck to him.

Yeh, i don't get the antagonism. He always speaks well, and analyses interestingly. I think he could do well in management.

He's also someone who has conducted himself well through his time in the public eye

I think he did fine at Derby (with a great squad) but a combination of media hype (“Frank Lampard’s Chelsea”) and the fact he has failed in subsequent jobs makes me think it’s just not going to happen for him.

Agree about his conduct and I hugely admired him as a player. But the truth is without his name, he wouldn’t be getting the Coventry job if that’s what indeed happens, and hiring on reputation without (even distant past) successes rarely works out.
