2022/23 Frank Lampard

[davek]

Who do you get with the board running up that debt then ?

We'll find out in 6/7 days for sure.

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

The problem only gets worse in the short term with relegation though.

Im sure we'll have a £70-90 millions shortfall in revenue next season in the championship.

Protests at the board should be done once we have a semi competent manager in place.

Lampard is the pits but has been backed consistently and is taking us down but fans are largely too blinded to see it.

I see some positives to relegation (note, I do not want it!)

In the championship we’d have a huge finical advantage (even with the issues you quite rightly raised).

look at Burnley, they’re running away with it.

We would undoubtedly do very well, we would actually enjoy football again, going to the match.

it might be the rebirth of the club……

I dont think we can afford to pay Frank off TBH ....

I dont think we can afford to pay Frank off TBH ....

...he'll be paid off. Then the decision on his successor will be made.

 

[billyblue80]

They left him in charge for Saints and I said it was a gamble because it was spiraling, he's in charge for any more games it's criminal negligence

Urm not so sure .....

When was the last time a manager just resigned in acceptance that they weren’t doing a good enough job, rather than hang on for the inevitable sack and compensation pay out?

3 wins in 20 games.

FFS, I know he was denied proper striker reinforcements and the team aren't exactly vintage Everton or anywhere near it, but you cant play 20 times in this league and win 3 games and stay in a job. I backed him right up until that Wolves game, but enough is enough.

He showed on a few occasions that we could set up for a spirited draw. He should have done so more often. And a professional manager - a mature one - looks at certain games like we've had recently (in-game) and just takes what's on offer after being pegged back: Wolves and S'ton need not have been defeats but draws and we'd be 14th today instead of the relegation zone.

Leaving him in charge has created a crisis at this club. To continue his stay is appalling.

As bad as that is, in addition it’s also the manner in some of the defeats and the fact that in the mini league we have we have played three of the bottom 5 teams and been beaten by all of them including two at home - it beggars belief that he hasn’t been shown the door - of all the times to twist rather than stick this is it but once again they are doing the wrong thing

 

[ForeverEverton]

Well.....

The lack of news is concerning.... another nail going in to Evertons coffin

 

[Bluewolf]

The problem is that idiot owner of ours came out two days on the bounce banging on about how he back lampard.

So now he sacks him which is the right thing to do but makes him look like a fool and pulls everything he said in the interview and open letter into questions.

Or he keeps hold of him which is basically sealing our fate game by game.

The board aren't going to be any help as their hiding in a underground bunker kacking themselves over the Huyton headlocker.

So will he Swallow his pride and make himself look like a fool or will his ego rule out and he'll let us slip into oblivion?

I said last season (and was pillared for it) that I care little about relegation as the PL is utterly corrupt with Chelsea able to spend £400+ million in the space of 12 months and have no FFP worries.

However the main worry for me with going down is:

1. The stadium funding

2. The clubs price being lowered which attracts vulture buyers (the championship is infamous for cowboy owners buying low to asset strip).

If Moshiri is to sell then marketing it at £1 billions lessens the chance of that Peter Kenyon type group or a bloke in a bedsit being able to afford us.

It's rare. I remember Gordon Strachan at Middlesbrough resigning for that purpose.

You get some like Klopp with Dortmund who resign because they've had enough. I reckon he'll do the same with them rather than take a pay out.

You get others like Rodgers at Leicester who don't want to be there and waiting for the pay off. I think Lampard does want to stay and turn it around.

relegation = end of us

The problem is too many fans are transfixed with the board whereas the manager situation is silently killing us here.

I have no issues with protests at the board but there should have been banners calling for Lampards heed after the Brighton debacle at the latest.

Personally think we've left it too late and we're down as no new manager will have time to fix us with the fixtures remaining.

WHU, Arsenal and Liverpool up next.

Yep he has escaped under the radar given where the focus has been (rightly so the board have come under scrutiny) but by the end of these fixtures we will probably be bottom and more adrift than we are now. We have to plan and act now!!! By now I mean the next couple of days.
