2022/23 Frank Lampard

[TheBigIguana]

Hes available and VERY cheap.

That's great news as we'll be able to afford him in League 1

 

[Drico]

Hate listening to these pathetic cringeworthy interviews every week with stupid questions like "so, glad to be back at Goodison?" or "do you feel prepared for the game tomorrow?" - what on earth are these [supposed] JoUrNaLiStS expecting him to say. Almost as insufferable as when they come out with "how pleased with the 3 points are you?" or "are you hoping to build on this?". Absolute wastes of skin, the lot of 'em!

I think it was Spitting Image or some other satire show that had a journalist interviewing a bereaved person with the question: "Are you sad, very sad, or devastated?"

The club interviews are nauseating because they are over-familiar, touchy-feely, and skirt around the massive elephant in the room: the manager is not getting results despite being a diamond geezer and will be impaled on a Farhad Moshiri primed stick as soon as is expedient.

Just get a few wins, Frank, and these might be more watchable again.

Yeah that in-house media guff is so manufactured and stage-managed I'm surprised it's not mistaken for CNN half the time.

With a bit of luck it'll be back to the "were those 3 points just what wanted for xmas?" zingers on Monday night.

He was probably hauled in to Bobby Brownshoes media training school the next day... ?

lol Absolutely in future Kevin you must say we’ve a phenomenal chance

I think Frank Lampards reign comes to an end on Saturday 7th January at 4pm.

At which time, we will appoint Roberto Martinez on Monday 9th January with him signing a 3 year contract.

Prove me wrong Franky, im REALLY rooting for you.

As if we’re sacking Lampard and taking less than 4 weeks to appoint his successor.

In most cases yes, in Martinez’ case if really wouldn’t surprise me if he’s been sounded out again, considering he’s back over here

All very true.
But in the end football isn’t an intellectual pursuit.
It just backpage froth to keep us from giving too much thought to the serious stuff on the front page.

We would probably wait till the transfer deadline day to appoint someone, and then blame them for the transfers we made in the January window, just like last season

This would guarantee relegation, an absolute retrograde appointment. But it’s not going to happen, the club are backing Lampard.

 

[Papa Shango]

We absolutely will not be appointing Roberto Martinez again.

No way we sack after a cup game at Old Trafford

No one at the club will care in the slightest when we lose that game. We basically gave up on the other cup with our team selection

Ultimately,

swapping managers every 6-12 months doesnt work.

Could see in the first 7/8 games the foundations of what he is trying to implement. Defensively much better but lacking quality in attack.

I do not believe for a second Frank Lampard, who has been the best, played with the best believes that his current options at satisfactory.

Sacking him and creating another merry go around doesnt do anything. Has to be a good 3/4 year period of stability and progress. Problems aren tfixed in one summer... No matter how frustrating it is that we didnt recruit a decent attacker to support uptop.

Appointing awful managers time after time is the problem, not sacking them after 10 months when they have proven they are not up to the task.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

We absolutely will not be appointing Roberto Martinez again.

I’d like to believe that.
But the only thing that prevented us appointing him on a part time basis last time around were the objections of the Belgian F.A.

 

[COYBL25]

We absolutely will not be appointing Roberto Martinez again.

As we saw with the appointment of Benitez, absolutely anything is possible, with the combination of Kenwright and Moshiri making decisions.

 

[allen]

We absolutely will not be appointing Roberto Martinez again.

There’s a difference between it being an unimaginably terrible idea - and it being a decision our cartoon board could make anyway.
