2021/22 Frank Lampard

[fandjango]

Most fans would have agreed with a decision to leave him out of the coaching team.

No they wouldn’t …. But you could test the validity of your suggestion with a poll ….

 

[UltraVires]

If you offer most fans Anthony Barry or Duncan Ferguson on the coaching team I think you’d get very little saying Dunc.

Which itself says a lot because most of us will not have heard of Barry until last week and Dunc has been here forever

 

[Street end man]

My point was firing a club legend after 10 minutes in the job may have been perceived to be a bit off. It very well may have caused a bout of ill feeling.

It's not as though he's the main right hand man anymore. He is giving Dunc the option at his own pace to find a new club as no 1 then maybe return one day when he (Frank) goes back to the smoke.

Cos our fans are magpies.

Like him or not, sacking Duncan would have been very bad darts at this stage.

 

[Furey1878]

His eyes, nose and mouth all occupy a comically small percentage of his entire face.

What’s @davek take on Frank

Always gives every manager at least a year apparently

Done.

Bill looks a bit like Carlo after a long weekend on the lash in Dublin where he had so much guiness and Jameson that he cant remember where he was or what he did.

Given Anthony Barry had 'positive talks' with the club about the position but ultimately didn't want to rock the boat mid-season, it's not totally inconceivable that he might end up coming at the end of the season, at which point Duncan may well look for pastures new, once the right lower-league vacancy comes up (I'd imagine in the North West - Accrington, Bury, Rochdale, Stockport etc.)

Tbh i wouldnt look at it as sacking. At some stage a new manager coming in will want all his backroom staff to be his. People move on. It happens. I dont think many Everton fans would object to a new broom thing.
I personally dont mind ferguson around the club and involved.

 

[SantaClausisanEvertonian]

Just a random thought Blues, do we have any songs for Frank yet?

A variation on 'Frankie' by Sister Sledge perhaps, or is that too naff???

 

[hktoffee]

Ashley Cole is joining as a coach?

See Frank Lampard being slaughtered everywhere non Everton fan
