If/when the club do decide to give Lampard the boot they'd better have a decent replacement already lined up.

The usual caretaker for a month whilst we choose between a bunch of has beens and never was's won't do.

Admittedly we aren't a particularly appealing prospect so that's easier said than done granted, but unless we can get a real upgrade we may as well stick.
I’d sooner we just got a new board, it all seems utterly pointless while we have people in high positions who are totally unfit for purpose making decisions
 
No he has not whatsoever. Don’t dare quote me a win percentage, he’s had he best squad in world football playing against Gibraltar and Andorra every year.
Not really true, he must do something right to make the stars in a team. You can look at Solskgaer in Man utd. Do you make managing a whole team of stars easily? Yes, Martinez has terrible denfence record and I dont think he improves a lot but please judges him fairly.
During his managing time, he doesnt have that money to replace Distin, Jagelka, Hetinga…He only can choose to promote stones and sign a free transfer Alcarez and about 12m Funes Mori. Does we really give him the money to build up the defense?

He spent towards 160m while at Everton. He had the funds.

And at Belgium, he has had arguably the best squad in the world and won zilch.

160m for 3 years? And he needs to replace a pair of CB, DM…and a back up striker with wingers.
Yes, at that time, that was a decent amount of money in football.

You are here advocating for him over lampard with daft claims he couldn't afford defenders. Lampard has signed 2 CBs on a free and a DM on a nominal fee. While he also need to sign a striker and wingers. He hasn't been given anywhere near the money Martinez got and the players we signed we had to sign in complicated deals to pay off over several years.

Martinez wasted money on Niasse and Mori etc

Martinez wouldn't be doing the signings though, same as Lampard didn't do the signings in the summer.
 
Yeah there's no joined up approach at all and I'm sure Kevin and Frank don't discuss any of it with signings just rocking up at training as a surprise for Frank.

They would have to agree, no doubt on that.

Some of your earlier stuff about Martinez spending 160 million is way off, he never spent close to that.

Also, has quite a few people keep mentioning when defending Lampard, what was the net spend??? We sold the likes of Felli for decent money which paid for his first summer splash.

There was money in football then, but unfortunately Everton were proper paupers then who would take loans out against future tv revenue money with spurious companies based in the Cayman Islands.
