Dave, I know you love hyperbole and I love you for it but.....

Frank is the figurehead of a team of people. Mainly the team and coaching staff (of whom Dunc is the best... Don't bite).

Frank alone is not the Messiah.

I reckon they're the difference, or will be. The group, the coaching staff as a whole. And as we've seen / been recently, we're all working much better as a collective. Amazingly, you included.

Frank and his team (with more time) will improve the players we have (those that want to be here and have the right mentality - well done Anthony and Alex btw.). Hopefully buy well, within a collective structure (board, dof) and be able to implement their playing philosophy over time.

It's not always about the individual.

I think this is the most comprehensive backroom staff I can remember, a good mix of experience and new ideas and seems quite well thought out!
 
As a Lampard skeptic, I have to say that his press conferences are genuinely illuminating. He doesn't go in for the smoke and mirrors stuff that, perhaps, the more seasoned operators that have preceded him indulged in, but that allows him to make a connection with ordinary fans. He is more transparent and people can make their own minds up based on what they have heard. With Ancelotti and Benitez, the ordinary fan knew that very little of insight was ever going to be conveyed. Those wily old foxes saw the press conference as something to be cloaked in, if not disinformation, impenetrable code. Frank, perhaps naively, provides insight and conveys his feelings. As a fan, that's a very human quality. His inexperience makes him more likeable and relatable.

If he can get us over the line tonight - or at least at some point this month - he will have an awful lot of goodwill and, for the first time, some genuine credibility. A win tonight is a giddy thought. Here's hoping.

I love the way he talks about the club

Can't think of the last time I wanted an Everton manager to succeed as much as I do Lampard

He's a smooth operator for sure

Well my father apparently was a smooth talking cockney lad. When my mother told him the good news he left and persued his dream of holiday rep in Spain.

Make of that what thou wilt.
