2022/23 Frank Lampard

[captainvindaloo]

We basically hired a nice talented kid, fresh out of college with a handful of degrees, but no job experience.
He was set up to fail by an incompetent group of armatures.
Trying not to imagine who they will hire next.

 

[hktoffee]

An absolutely appalling manager, worst I've ever seen. Allowing him to continue post world cup might be what seals our fate

I think they got it wrong. Should do the same like they sacked Koeman and Silva in November.

 

[Drico]

They will bend us over for more than a 6 month deal

And rightly so. The calculation for the club is what's least expensive: relegation or being bent over by a manager?

 

[ToffeePaulie]

Club is absolutely on its arse. I wish we had a squad and an infrastructure in place that would have allowed Lampard to learn his trade but as always here, as soon as results start going against us it snowballs into a full blown catastrophe. It happened to Martinez, it happened to Koeman, it happened to Silva, it happened to Benitez, it's now happened to Lampard. It undoubtedly would have happened to Ancelotti too if he didn't get out when he did . Yes, some of those managers were indeed pups, but all of them?

Under this ownership and this hierarchy, there is just nothing to this club at all. When things start slipping for a Manager here, you can start writing their obituary. There is nobody coming to save them, whether that's talent coming through the youth system, whether it's a player brought in etc. Everything at this club is rank amateur so it doesn't matter who replaces Lampard because under these circumstances there's no chance they'll succeed.

Exactly. We're screwed unless this board is replaced. Relegated or Survive they need to go.

Love how professionally this club handles everything.

A clown car crashing into a bin fire.

Now let's take a minute to remember how nice of a bloke he was.

 

[micknick]

I take no joy in this sacking. The perfect tonic after Benitez, a likeable man who took the club to heart and represented us with class.

I so wanted stability and for us to develop with him.

As the old saying goes its a results business and the results were poor so there was no choice.

Another huge appointment, lets hope the club dont [Poor language removed] it up.

….seem to remember him managing a few clubs before ours.

Absolutely, another result of allowing the tory clown to waste more fixtures is our position is worse and negitiating power weakened

 

[Bleeding Eejit]

Roll on manager number 13 in 10 years.

Ouch.

We had 13 managers in the 100+ years prior

 

[chazzle_dazzle]

Gutted for Frank - not for the club.

Right decision but should have been made before the World Cup.

Hope Frank has some nice memories of us, I think everyone wanted him to get it right for us, but not upto the task.

He wasn’t tactically upto the task of getting us going.

Yeah I can't pretend I totally saw like others did and its post-wolves I would have pulled the trigger. But you would expect the board to be informed by football men and statiticians constantly to be aware of the situation.

His political opinions are not relevant. Otherwise we may aswell replace him with Gary Neville.

 

[Gwladysstreetlad]

So, whose turn is it now to get a year or less to having a crack at "fixing" an unfixable situation then?

I didn't say they were
