Whats yer stance on the new boss?

[Daytripper]

I don’t know. I’m just hoping he does well. Changes still need to be made at board level for the better before I’m all in regardless of manager.

 

[mahermi1]

Very happy, young and a big enough name and reputation that should command respect of almost any player.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I'm more than happy. This is the right type of appointment, focussing on the right things and for the longer term. I don't think it will go wrong, but if it does go wrong, at least we've tried the right things.

If our current squad of malingers and malcontents cannot be inspired by Mr Lampard, then I despair

 

[ste d' indica]

I'll stand on him all day.

 

[tellmema]

If this was in the summer, I'd be more optimistic. Some big changes already. He's got a job on his hands.

Glad he's got a cup game first. Get some of the tension out before League restarts.

Next two League games for me are critical. Two quick wins and I reckon we'll benefit from this appointment. Two losses would worry me.

That said, I think the Club are really backing him in terms of targets and staff, which is good and needed.

Just watched his interview. How refreshing. Someone who answers authentically and openly.

I want this to work.... Make it so.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Good luck to him - he has a big job now in every sense. Probably the best choice we could have made - we were well and truly shafted by the FSW.

 

[peteblue]

excellent appointment …….

 

[willjo]

Ask again in May

 

[Eggs]

….never understand ‘get our full support’ statements. Managers get support if results are right, sadly for Lampard we have very little leeway. i’m happy with the appointment but I fear the position we are in.

The club have dug themselves into a big hole.

 

[Sharpies volley]

I will always support any manager who comes in 100% and that went for managers I never wanted in the first place. Koeman, BFS, FSW etc. But when things go wrong I will question them all. I'm not bothered if Donald duck is the manager if we're relatively successful.

 

[bullybeef]

Happy with the appointment.

Frank has my 100% support.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Given the mess we are in and the propensity to dump managers at the slightest sign of a decline I hope he feels strongly enough to just do the job and ignore all the noise from upstairs. This mess is not his mess and the sooner the board realise the departures (players, staff) are down to the toxic running of the club the better. I think Frank is smart enough to try and get on with the job and even maybe give the kids a go. Let's face it - right now (this season) isn't going to get any worse in the sense that relegation is staring us in the face and anything that avoids that is a real bonus.

Any test of his ability might come next season where ever we might be playing.

PS Frank - do yourself a favour and do a Howie - take the lads for a Chinese.

 

[LeeCarsley]

should've been the choice in June

I was pleased that he kept saying we when asked questions .I wish him all the sucess in the world as long as he is our manager ,he was a great player and I think he will do well looking at the backroom he is assembling .COYB.
