prob been said ad nauseam, but i enjoyed his candor/frankness (lol) - so much better than the platitudes and spewed BS that certain managers have done for us before

hopefully it's not just a case of him being a slick talker

The most interesting thing for me in that press conference was his downplaying of results.

He obvioulsy knows we have to get them, but he seems to want to avoid becoming a captive of setting out points tallies and league positions, which is wise I suppose. The emphasis he made was on there being 18 games left to show an improved level of performance and (I think) a rekindinling of the relationship between team and fans.

A very circumspect feller.

Probably because if we lose one or two straight off we'll be fancied to go down, then he'd have to change tone abruptly.

He knows how quickly things get out of hand at this club. It's a basket case since Moshiri came here.

Emphasising performance improvement is a way of managing expectations.

No grand promises, just a commitment to improve. I appreciate that.

I'm quite happy with the appointments in the last week, I think we'll see a quick turnaround. Only concern I would have is a repeat of what happened with Ancelotti.

Hopefully we've learnt a couple of lessons.

I really like how Frank is talking about the positive sides of our squad, insted of just going on about fixing the negatives like the slug did. The slug wasnt wrong about a lot of his views early on, but i understand how that viewpoint alone zaps players of confidence.

Very good presser. Comes of as exactly what we need at this moment.

….do you think Lampard will have ‘total control’ of transfers or did that only apply to his predecessor?

Speaks very well, however the proof will be in the pudding. Getting a tune out of these players who have seen off six mangers is easier said than done. Hopefully he can pull it off.

These players haven't seen off 6 managers though, apart from Coleman. Keane and Pickford also go back to the Koeman era. Allardyce was sacked because of the way he had the team playing and because the fans wanted him out. Nothing to do with the players. Carlo left of his own choice to go and manage arguably the biggest club in the world. Benitez should never have been appointed.

Who knows whether Frank can get a tune out of these players. I personally think he can, but not all of them are of the required quality I agree. But to blame the players for the demise of the 3 I mentioned above is just wrong. You also have to question the quality of Silva and Koeman as managers too. It isn't just the players who are to blame.

Oh sorry, Andrei Kanchelskis

Thoroughly refreshing to have a manager who answers the questions with a lot of intelligence and sound communication skills.

I really liked his words and truly hope we get a few results early doors so he can begin to plan long term for us.

 

[Runub]

If performances on the field match the excellent first impression Lampard has made we could be in business

No, Rafael only interviewed Mosh and Uncle Usy before accepting the job

He also has lots of experience working for a basket case club. Both as a player and a manager at Chelsea
