2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Simon Buttle]

Someone said last night he might have resigned but the board rejected it.

Our fans are entering the tinfoil hat stage now.

Not at all, I just think its down to cost that he is not gone, it's not as cheap to sack a manager and backroom team as some think. Not when you then have to rehire them all again and are also in the middle of a transfer window. We also have an owner who isn't in any hurry to boost the coffers anytime soon.

I think Bruce would do a better job than Lampard.

Ken Bruce? I think you’re right and he’s just become available, plus he has a better ‘record‘ than Lampard.

Sean Dyche is favourite mate.

He would cost 2m a season.

Lampard 10m pay off.

If we can't afford 12m, we might as well just fold.

Bruce can tread water, he is pretty grim and looks like he should be reading vogan poetry but all lampard and martinez do is manage a decline for the teams they are in charge of

I do think he has give up backing us and wants to spend as least as possible.

West Ham game will be his last game i think.

Lampard not walking away from the job just shows you the type of guy he is! All talk!!
He says he cares about the club but will take the club to the championship…
Big talk no action.. he’s pathetic and a liar.
Pereira is better than this guy. I’m sure we wouldn’t have lost back to back home games to teams at the bottom of the table under him.

Lampard = Fraud

You know fine well Dyche will be on a lot more than £2m a season we will go and give him £5-6m because that's what we do. I actually am hoping we do fold tbh as the club is just so far behind our peers now that BMD is just meaningless and we will never catch up even if we wipe the slate clean and had endless investment. I'm already watching less and less, It just isn't worth it anymore. I can appreciate people like yourself who go to matches for a family connection with your lad, but regardless of what happens this season I'm trying to get back fit again and back into my judo (if my knee holds up) that will take my Saturdays up, and I am going to knock it on the head this year. No club should be run the way ours is, and the stuff recently against the fans is the final straw for me.

I envy the people who walk away.

Wish I could.

Why are you sure of that? Didn’t the fella get chased out of the Turkish league?

3 times.

 

[Wat Tyler]

to still be in a job is insane. He must be bewildered himself.

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

It isn’t Lampard’s fault he was offered a contract, he’s entitled to any pay off he gets. If the club had appointed the right man at the start then this may not have been a problem.

The issue I have is that they didn’t bin him at the break for the World Cup and appoint a competent manager. Also that it’s been nearly three weeks since the transfer window opened, a decent player bought on day 1 could have seen us with a few more points than we have.

Each game he remains just makes the job of the replacement even harder, especially as its likely the transfer window will have slammed shut so they wont even be able to buy anyone.

Maybe Usmanov has written off most of his dirty cash now and doesn’t care, it’s clear Moshiri never wanted to put even so much as a penny in to the club. Abramovich wrote off £1.5bn, but I am sure Uncle Vlyad will ensure they don’t have to worry. Usmanov had a £600m yacht seized not so long ago too. I might be wrong but it could explain why we appear to have been cut adrift.

Yes but would he have lost 3 home games in a row to the bottom of the table…?
I guess will never know.

Agreed we’re in big danger if we don’t replace lampard before the window shuts.

Moshiri is spending hundreds of millions on the stadium, this idea that he's cut us off is just ridiculous.
