2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Joey66]

We beat West Ham and Moyes will get sacked but it might be enough to save Lampard, we lose to West Ham then Lampard is sacked but it might be enough to save Moyes.

Go in for a has been who has better resources than Frank - failed everywhere he has been after us never go back plus Bill is interested.....

 

[DanB90]

The only way Moyes gets sacked is if we beat them

The only way Lampard is sacked is if Moyes beats us

Moyes isn't coming here

Steve Bruce it is then

Seriously don't think we actually have the money to sack him...

I don't disagree long struggle to stay up whoever the manager is. We need a goal scorer as much as a new manager. I get he is trying things but he also keeps changing statistically from pressing to sit in, from passing style to direct and formation wise even when we got a good result with 532 he changed it to 433, the next week which has rarely worked this season, I'm convinced some players are confused. Also his in game management is chronic. Again yesterday Saints took the initiative second half by making changes early, he sat on his hands.

When he played a back five last season, people were jumping up and down for him to play 433.

Playing a back five against city and letting them have possession and play backs to the wall footy is one thing - I personally wouldn’t have been happy to see us set up like that at home to a relegation rival.

You can’t play five at the back with Coleman and Mkyo at fullback. It requires fullbacks to pose a threat or the system is pointless. Add in Gray, McNeil, Gordon and Iwobi and there is nothing going forward.

There’s nothing there, these players aren’t good enough. There isn’t a formation that will get them playing. They’re bottom three standard compared to the rest of the teams in the league - easily.

Will the board sign a few wide forwards, minimum, with creativity and goals in them? That’s all that will keep us up.

Sacking a manager isn't paying them a lump sum payout. You just keep paying their salary until contract is up

With no real winner. We beat West Ham then Lampard stays, Moyes sacked. If we lose then Moyes probably stays on

How many of his backroom staff are there to pay off?

Given we cant afford a loan for Elanga without a sale I don't think we're in a position to be paying someone 100k a week + all his backroom staff and then appoint a new man.

Clement, Cole, Edwards, Jones are 4 definites. Don't know about any minor ones appointed

 

[Goat]

Not like next week's game is important anyway

Its not.

18th Feb is the next game we even have a small chance of winning.

 

[Papa Shango]

I can’t think of another club in the league who would keep a manager with those stats. It’s bizarre, honestly it is inexplicable how he is still here.

No other club would have binned off a bunch of managers before this point I reckon which I think has resulted in him staying on for now.

Well maybe Watford.

 

[Papa Shango]

I don’t think he would have considering he’s had two jobs since not getting the job here

Sounds a perfect fit.

Got to ask why he was even in the running then.

 

[Blue peter]

FL should have been sacked for the results against Bournemouth, but there were also potential advantages in terms of the time we would have had to bed a new manager in to work with a full squad barring four internationals at the World Cup (which also speaks to the quality of the playing staff within the squad. That same time could have been used to reassess any identified Targets in the transfer window, but also with the foresight that we may have got a new manager bounce in the proverbial ‘six pointer’ games against Wolves, Southampton and West Ham

Never go back.

Moist is a better manager than Dyche but oot of the two ginger dinosaurs you have to go with the younger model really.
