2022/23 Frank Lampard

we don’t have money dave or frank would of had a striker

...let's see.

You could be right, the board probably don't want to pay off his compensation. They'll lose a hell of a lot more money if we go down though.

yearh we really are fd

...let's see.

we don’t it’s quite clear we won’t

 

[davek]

he hasn’t yet i’m not buying he wants to sack him

No way this can go on. Either Lampard starts winning or he's sacked. There is no doubt about that.

As said: Moshiri mentioned the West Ham game - I'm pretty sure he didn't just pull that date out of the air.

90m loss in first season if we go down. Would say its alot less to pay off Lampard

 

[davek]

This is not a time for high minded principles. It's a time for pragmatism. I dont just mean Moyes either, it could be Dyche, it could be Allardyce etc.

I really like Lampard, but hes a beaten man. I wish he wasnt. But the job needs a more experienced manager.

Absolutely.

The club is rancid right now and a new boss throws a window open.

You don't have to pay compensation in a lump sum you can pay it over the course of the outstanding contract. Which he has less then 18 months on.

I also doubt he'll be on alot of money anyway.

we don’t it’s quite clear we won’t

I think we'll see late activity in the window. Ild be amazed if we didn't.

A couple of loan-to-buys.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Absolutely.

*Checks date and fixture list.

That time was long before today.

 

[N.S.N.O.]

I’d be surprised if the club hasn’t put something into his contract to protect them if he manages them into the relegation spots.

To be Frank he doesn’t deserve a payout and he knows it!

To be frank, there's no way these halfwits would have thought of anything even resembling intelligence

 

[catcherintherye]

Absolutely.

That's our best, and only hope.

One thing I'd say, is under Unsworth/Koeman we were getting hammered every week. And Allardyce came in and we went on a run. Probably a better team, but also probably a less balanced one.

Theres a much wider level of stuff going on. That cant be forgotten, and why be forgotten I'm sure. I'm less worried about that currently though. I dont think Bill and Denise are going to be able to waltz back in after what's happened.

But ultimately it's our club, not theirs. We will be here when it's tough, and they bottle it in the clubs hour of need. We will be here long after they go. But we have to make sure there is still a club.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

Why would we take Moyes back? He has West Ham where we are, with a better squad, and money spent. What's to suggest he would keep us up? It's change for the sake of it.

It is indeed, but that's the dire straights we find ourselves in right now.

 

[Lowste]

I think for sure WHU is his last match here if we lose it.

Most thought the Southampton game would be..

If he does go after the WHU game, whoever comes in has a horrible start

Which seems totally unfair

 

[Mikey O]

Lampard getting sacked is only a matter of time as he just doesn't have the experience or tactical nous to get us out of trouble.

The sooner it happens, the sooner we have a chance of rectifying the dire situation that we're in.

I had hopes for Lampard and he has been given a chance but it's just not worked.

 

[jinkyali]

I just think any manager coming in now is complicit in endorsing the current board of directors and ownership.
