2022/23 Frank Lampard

[ParkhallToffee]

Likeable guy, v good player, rubbish manager.

Any other club in the league would have binned him after the Bournemouth spit roast.

After picking up some clothing bargains at the Shelter Shop, Frank and Christine hopped on a bus to The Ivy for a square meal after their ordeal in the north country. Good to see.

Let’s also have it right, this could also be part of the reason he failed here. Imagine coming home every evening and having to FaceTime your wife and kids. No doubt over Xmas that becomes hard and little hints of ‘i miss seeing you everyday’ sets in.

Jose was living out of a hotel in a Manchester when he was managing United. There was a clear lack of commitment for him to rent or purchase a home.

Frank is home now. I doubt he would take a job up North again and I think if he’s ready for another crack at managing then he needs to goto a lower league club and try and build something. But he defo needs to be closer to home.

Literally the last few pages are everyone saying he's a crap manager, what are you on about? lol

Is it true he received a near £10M pay off after his sacking???

Probably, it is what happens with severance packages and all.

Are you surprised like? We paid more to sack every manager so far hahah

The post above mine literally says he might of failed not because he’s a crap manager but because he was living up north at Christmas .

Might have*, Jesus wept.

And no, they're saying it might be part of the reason why he failed, not the reason he failed.

We'd still be in this position as a club even if Lampard was a good manager (which he obviously isn't). While he clearly was helping the situation, he wasn't the real problem. Dyche won't be either when he inevitably fails and is sacked by this time next year. Until the people killing the club are purged from it, we'll be stuck in this painful cycle of sacking poor managers of varying degrees of incompetence with nowt ever changing.

Do you think it’s one of the reasons he failed? Personally I don’t… and if it was it’s a poor excuse.

Nah, speculative but nah.

Probably affected him on a personal level, sure, but he failed because he's a poor coach, not because his wife wasn't with him at all times lol

Him and his team probably did but not just him. Our fault for paying him more than he was on at Chelsea though.

He was on like 75k a week at Chelsea but we gave him over 100k a week.

He failed because he is very, very bad at managing football teams. No doubt his living situation probably made him slightly unhappy, but I’d venture those two things are almost entirely unrelated.

Not the issue imho - we tend to give manager (and players) stupid several year contracts, so when we sack them it ends up being wayyyyyyyyy too costly.

Everton that.

I read somewhere we had a clause that we could have sacked him in the summer but didn’t take it up. Hindsight’s a wonderful thing.
