2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Bebeto]

We already know they are weak and incompetent. Incontinent too, no doubt. If they sack now, they have a transfer window and a two-week break to Southampton to get a new man in and roll the dice. If they wait, they'll have to sack later this month anyway. They will put safeguarding their remaining investment above any pretence that they can hunker down and ride this out. It's not about egos now. It's about money.

They are desperate for lampard to succeed so that they can say that all the changes at the club are working...we'll be relegated with lampard for sure, and possibly too late to get a replacement that could save us. I can see them holding out until after the Southampton game depending on the results...problem is that winning Southampton is not enough and we have very difficult fixtures after that one.

So long and thanks for all the fish

It's always darkest before the dawn.
I think he'll go tomorrow morning.
Who comes in though? Big Dunc ? Dyche? Fat Sam? Stevie Geeeeee? What a nightmare.
Someone have a word with Moyes....

A board with any nous would have earmarked a bunch of candidates to replace him weeks ago.
Unfortunately, this has not, and never will be the MO of this board!
They'll be off to Aldi to see what this weeks special buys are.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Erase this kin loser from our history starting now.

We won't win against Southampton. 20th place Wolves did us, Southampton will walk through us

 

[Amokachi1995]

Every time we try and press we get beaten badly but still go back for more. Everyone has said it but Saturday was the template.

First criteria: doesn't speak English

Unlucky lad, you must be gutted.

[RomanReigns]

I have two opinions:

1. Lampard won’t go after this.

2. We’ve looked at exactly zero candidates to replace him so far.

lad the number one candidate probably had some pinot grigio and belgian truffles with a certain Billy K over Christmas

 

[Runub]

The players are just not good enough. Lampard may turn out to be a decent manger in the future, who knows, but with few experience and a poor squad he is on a hiding to nothing at this time. Change to a more experienced manager? Possibly could steady the ship and save us from the drop but I would not bank on it given that the issue is the Board first and then the players who are simply not at PL level

 

[Groucho]

Hard to see how he comes back from that.

Saturday isn't the template for winning matches. If the best you can do is set up like that and hope you don't lose or maybe nick it you're a poor manager.

Why is Fat Sam a nightmare?
He had us at the top half of the table

Absolutely minty that he wasn't sacked before the world cup after getting fisted by Bournemouth twice on the trot

….if a change was being considered the timing was ideal ahead of the World Cup.

New manager with a month to assess and work with his squad & consider strengthening ahead of the window. The timing is so much worst now but it’s symptomatic of how the club is run.
