2022/23 Frank Lampard

[roydo]

This century?

What difference does that make?

We've probably done this before but football is just a long way on from 1982 when Villa won the European Cup.

In many ways it has. But the dynamic, or lack of it, between a manager and the players isnt much different I would suggest.

Relentless isn’t he?

If I really didn’t like the manager that much, I’d probably just stop discussing him tbh.

I think the level of detail is much greater now. This is where Frank is learning and where we should probably being employing a manager who has already learned.

I don't mean we can't take on a guy early in his career as the main man, but I'd like to think someone with at least a solid background somewhere in coaching could be found.

Entire future of the club is at stake so it crosses my mind sometimes

There were no xgs or heat maps back then.
So it wasn't really football

The margin for error is still small!

I will guarantee you he will be still in charge come May, you posting here maybe not so much

Given Moshiri's track-record you cannot be certain Lampard will still be here in May. If we're languishing down there come Jan/Feb, history suggests he could pull the trigger.

If the match goin fans don't turn on him he will be kept.

I don't think we're on the same page if you thought BVB was appropriate to include

So no young managers are good hit rates, but the team with the most outstanding record of finding said managers with a good hit rate is inappropriate?

 

[blue to the bone]

People who go to matches can see the absolute change in what that experience is like now compared to what it was 12 months ago. It was toxic. Now goin is an enjoyable experience and the atmosphere is excellent . Frank has done that.
Bells who never set foot in the ground and who watch on a lap top with no emotional ties to the club will never understand that. To them it's football manager.

Klopp and Tuchel had both managed for 7 years before taking the job. My point was we shouldn't have a manager who is "learning on the job" to the point that it is worth discussing and neither of those guys were. Same is true for Rose, Favre and the current guy. So no it wasn't appropriate because the point wasn't "young" it was "not experienced enough to step in and do the job fully from day one."

I'd actually prefer we found up and coming people but that doesn't mean they've done very little previously.

Seems a lot of talk of us likely to sign Diaz from Blackburn will he prove more worthwhile than Maupay I wonder.

Ashley Barnes mark II. Better than Rondon but I’d rather move away from the Burnley model
