Who should replace Frank Lampard?

Excatly does my head in Rooney dyche moyes ye just know this will be the short list for our board same as last season although I liked lampard he had done nothing to show he was good enough for a job like this, even though we look doomed there’s still half a season left to go
If that's the case and European managers want to come, then why are we trotting out re-treads time after time? Get a good manager from Portugal, Spain or Germany - move in a different direction. This loyalty to nostalgia will get them nowhere. The game has changed since Moyes, et al were here. If they ever hope to be competitive in the future they need to leave that lot behind in the dust and look forward. But given who calls the shots currently at Everton I don't really see that happening unless a new ownership comes aboard in the coming years.
 
If a manager has 10 years at a club and does basically nothing to try and reinvent it until his final season where he ends up getting relegated (and his successor looks like he's doing a much better job) then that's massive cause for concern. But at this point I'd have even him over Lampard every day of the week.
He took Burnley up from the bottom of the Championship and kept them up for years. It's something, Burnley are a tough club to push on.

Kompany is doing it in the Championship where Dyche dominated too.

As I said though, we can not afford that experiment really. A good manager will adapt to his settings and not be a specialist with a certain club. No idea of Dyche is one of these as he has never been in a position to prove it one way or the other so yeah it would be a huge risk.

That said I suppose any manager is a risk.
 

Yeah we are just a big load of nothing. I have no idea what we are or what we are trying to be.

I keep seeing people saying "he can't football his way out of it" I want to know what these people are seeing! We have not "footballed" for years.
We looked okay in the game when we were making the pitch small and staying compact, at 1-1 when he changed the shape I 100% felt we would lose. Felt very Burnley last season to me. I'll try and find that twitter thread a chelsea fan posted in 21, its horribly familiar but with worse players
 
Walker at least had some success at Norwich, my biggest fear when hiring Lampard was that my only memory of him as a manager was bringing a chelsea team to Goodison that was really easy to play against
They were a really good team I remember when Ekoku ran us ragged at Goodison which apparently got Walker the Everton job.
 
And is part of the problem we currently have.

No more jobs for the boys. Go out and prove yourself a success before getting anywhere near the Everton role
Exactly. I bet in 5 years Unsworth and Ferguson will have accomplished exactly zero as managers. Ferguson seems like a nice guy and a great teammate, but he doesn't exactly strike me as a sharp knife in the drawer when it comes to analyzing a game, players, substitutions, strategy, etc.

Why ? Because that’s our board all over stuck in the past look how many ex players we have as coaches there not competent enough to even think of expanding there search

That's a great point. I'm tired of hearing about managers and their "system" (looking at you, Martinez). An experienced manager should be able to come in, see what they have for a squad and what the player strengths are, and create a formation and lineup to best maximize whatever potential there is. After that it's up to the players to execute. Put them in a position to succeed and see what happens - that's all you can do really. Although with this group that would be a tall order. Half these guys seem to be happy just running around out there and collecting a check.
