[Football] Lampard to Everton?

[GT49er]

5Live interviewed David Ornstein of The Athletic about this earlier.

He said it was his understanding that Rooney turned down the opportunity to be part of the interview process, with the inference that he found that a bit insulting. Ornstein made it pretty clear that the view is had Rooney been offered the actual job rather than simply an interview, he would have accepted it.

Who knows?

We don't.

I think Lampard will go on to be a good manager.

Other good manager's have failed at Everton, so not sure he'll be a success there, but he'll do ok in his career

So long as he surrounds himself with the right people, I agree.

No evidence so far - I feel sorry for Everton fans

Dull man joins bland club.

 

[dazzer6666]

All that experience he has in a relegation dogfight will come in really useful..........oh.

Exactly. That Derby side he failed to get promoted was like a Man City of the Championship. Then he was largely mediocre at Chelsea.
Seems a nice bloke but not yet proven himself as a decent manager.
Not sure he's the right appointment for what looks like a relegation battle. I'd be pleased if I was a fan of one of the chasing clubs.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Not sure why the criticism. That Derby side had Martin Waghorn up front and got to a play off final. His first season at a Hazardless Chelsea was excellent. Fluffed it second season but doesn't mean he's a bad manager, he's got potential

From what I've heard - not so much

I think Fat Frank is a decent appointment for them. If they give him a decent run that is.

Sutton’s slammed him on the beeb:

And rightly so; losing to Palace like they did at the weekend is disgraceful and utterly contemptible.

I took a look at their fixtures. They have 11 games left. To overhaul us, they need 3 wins and 2 draws to equal our points tally then need to outscore us in the other 6 games. For the 9 published fixtures that have left, I struggle to see where they can get a draw, let alone a win.

We should be finishing 10+ points ahead of this rabble. I’m looking forward to us extending the lead substantially.

Without wishing to state the bleedin' obvious, it's not Lampard who threw in the towel after Palace scored. As he said, have some of his players got the b*ll*cks for the fight? On Sunday's evidence, about three of them.

Indeed.

Allan is decent but reckless. Gordon is skilful, but has clearly been taking diving-and-rolling-around lessons off Richarlison. And their main striker, when not laid up on a stretcher, likes dressing up as a 14 year old schoolgirl.

WTF is FF supposed to do with that mob ?

I think you need to check your arithmetic - 3 wins and 2 draws will take them to 36 points.

Lamps is an awful managerial appointment. Just a big name player still cutting his teeth with no discernable style or tactical nouse.

Everton need someone with a proven record and experience

They should have got Moyes back before he went to West Ham or just stuck with Benitez, but thought they were big time charlies with Ancelotti

 

[brighton_tom]

It was always going to be a difficult season given the amount of Everton fans that werent behind Benitez from the start. That lack of enthusiasm obviously fed through to the players, so it was destined to fail and Lampard hasnt been able to change things. Lampard is an average manager living off the hype from his playing career who really needed to stay in Championship for a few more years refining his abilities. They have players in that squad (Richarlison, DCL, Gray, Allan, Doucoure, Alli, Van De Beek, Godfrey, Keane, Pickford) that on paper shouldnt be anywhere near a relegation battle, but are obviously not putting 100% effort in. Its a recipe for disaster, and could very well see them drop out of the Prem this year.

Spot on, he's a disastrous appointment. He's tactically inept and after his interview on Sunday, I would say he also doesn't have a clue how to manage players.

Very funny that Everton fans violently protested against the appointment of a decent, experienced manager in Pereira and actively pushed for the clueless Lampard. They deserve relegation and a 4.0 cup thrashing at that toilet.

Lampard getting the Chelsea job when he did was the worst thing that could have happened to him.

He then ruled himself out of any job he deemed below him. Once gets the boot from Everton he will be lucky to pick up a job in league 1.

I think Everton fans will be thrilled with their progress under the England and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard. Having undoubtedly one of the all-time greats at the helm of their historic grand old team, marching down the tunnel onto the hallowed Goodison Park touchline - it is enough to inspire anyone - myself included.

Help, I've started posting like Crodonilson and now I can't stop.
