If it’s not to be for Lampard at Everton, it’s not to be. He will go with my very best wishes after his efforts last season when we were essentially on life support as a club.

Godspeed Super ?

Important to note that you wished him well during his tenure as manager, a lesson to be learned.

It's almost as if it's reasonable to recognise the importance and value brought at the end of one season whilst also acknowledging things are far from perfect 6 months later with the writing maybe on the wall, isn't it. Madness, I tell ya...

If the fella doesn’t get results then he gets sacked, that’s just the reality of football. He gets criticised where appropriate and he may prove to not be good enough in the long run, but I will always appreciate what he did for us last season in the darkest time to be an Everton fan potentially ever. He’s a much bigger and braver man than me taking that job, he had no reason to take it and it could potentially crater his career.

Exactamundo.

He's a multi-millionaire. Set for life barely 40 years old. He could have sat with his feet up in some london mansio- sorry, "tory fort", waiting for the easy option to come his way. He didn't. He wants to be a Prem manager. Only 20 people can be. He didn't just "accept the job", he fought for it [by all accounts, as best I've read].

He immersed himself in the club, the fans, the people far far far more than the likes of Silva or Koeman or Allardyce ever did; he "got it" right off the bat - and whilst he may not have the experience he's no idiot; he's highly articulate, intelligent, astute and has not long come right out the 'modern game' himself. If anyone knows what is required to meet standards, surely it's him.

But ultimately, the numbers don't make great reading. No hiding from that. That is the bottom line that will determine his future. At time of writing, the club are clearly behind him. It would not surprise me one iota if he gets the boot a few games into the season re-start based on the numbers - he's under pressure, no doubt. I hope he rides it out and comes through it, but if not, I think you could also understand feeling hard done by if it goes the other way.
 
A King can either rule by fear : MikelsGoat 2008-2016
Or by the love and respect of his people : MikelsGoat and other names 2016-2029

A King most certainly not does get laughed at by the whole forum.












Super, super Frank.
Any man who must say I am The King is no true King. That's why Frank is Super King Lampard. He's got my support until he leaves, and I have uttermost faith in him to get it right.

I feel bad about posting this, it does feel like a cheap shot, and I don't really like myself much for that. My apologies FB92.

(on the other hand, I did just have a hilarious mental image of FB92 trying to hoist the Fat Spanish Waiter up on to a horse with tacos spilling all over the shop as the Frank-lings swarm in, so, ya know, there is that.......) ?
