2022/23 Frank Lampard

[AsiaAsia82]

No he certainly isn't
When are we ever going to be ready for the start of the season, 3 games in and we're badly short of new players, Frank being hung out to dry by previous mismanagement of funds.
Must be difficult to attract/keep players the state we're in.

The chants from the Forest fans of sacked in the morning may of ratcheted the pressure on him which hopefully will translate into 2 signings this week.
Otherwise he might walk anyway if he’s not supported

 

[street end]

I mean sure, but we'll have replaced more than half the starting XI then.

Need to be patient with Lampard/Thelwell sorting the squad out, otherwise we end up in the same cycle of the last 5 years if not more.

 

[derek duvall]

Is he to blame for our front three?

If he has any input at all on our incoming transfers then he has to take a share of the blame.

 

[Drico]

Is he to blame for our front three?

Well, he seems very attached to Gordon - in an unseemly way given that he is his ticket to an attacking upgrade.

Put it this way: If Gordon is still part of a failing front three come next month, well, yes, Frank is indeed to blame for our front three.

But there's 10 days before we get to that point yet...

He could have walked away when he was offered the job or after he kept us up he isn't walking away now.

You lost me with your intentions belief.

 

[Drico]

If.


You lost me with your intentions belief.

You lost me with your illiteracy.

And what’s the issue with that. Our starting XI was horrific

Don't honestly think that chant makes any difference to our managerial situation, you here that at most grounds every week when it involves a bottom half club going behind in a game.

 

[RomanReigns]

As if any manager would walk from us and give up millions in compensation

 

[Nymzee]

We do but I’m also not giving him a free ride until he has like an XI of his own players though.

 

[Nymzee]

There isn’t an issue… I’m saying that’s why I get to judge him.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I don't think he has much say in recruitment. The board and DOF are making the calls and he needs more support. And we are also making some quick short-term fix attempts too with Coady and possibly Gueye.

He lost his best player without a replacement. I think he's been dealt an impossible hand.

Again, read what I’m saying Tim. After he gets what he needs, I’ll start to judge him properly.

Yes I know but he may never get that. He's reliant on the support of those above him and there's no certainty he will get it.

The board will happily sack him if results don't approve, to try and deflect away from their own poor performance.
