Who should replace Frank Lampard?

[hktoffee]

I think McNiel and Maupay tag teamed your missus haven't they, you're obsessed, nearly every single post you make you mention these two as if they're the reason we're shabite.

I can include Myko if you want.

100% agree, get your list then work your way down....

Tuchel
Gallardo
Postecoglou

I really wish I could share the belief that we can attract any of these with the position we are in right now. Even Dyche and Allardyce would need serious convincing (and a long contract to protect themselves from being sacked in 12-18 months)

You would think so, like Arteta clearly has, but I'm not sure about Dunc, his side line antics were funny and all that, it was box office, but pure passion and being able to get players up for it only goes so far

Yeh, I would not risk him at this point in time

I feel like if we're rebuilding, and with Dyche and any other option there are no guarantees that we're going to survive, why not build the team with Rooney or Big Dunc? I would say Rooney and you give him 2 years whatever happen. He's got as much experience as Lampard and his Derby experience was decent, and he could build something from scratch if he's got the inclination.

That was not enough experience for the latter? I think Rooney to be fair is a better manager than Frank is, but what is this debate. Removed of his connection to Everton or his stature as a player we wouldn't be having this conversation at least yet. The same was true of Frank. Lampard's ability to score goals from the midfield has inflated a managerial resume that otherwise wouldn't have him close to a job the size as ours. Make fun of Southampton hiring a Luton manager, Nathan Jones has been a professional gaffer for almost a decade and had better rationale than Lampard's appointment or then a Rooney hypothetical.

We are damaged goods at this point so any names are frankly worth a discussion but I think we need more scrutinizing rationale for a manager hire than ever and cut out the celebrity aspects of an appointment now. Even if the pool is small or leads us to appointing someone we all havent heard of it does not change our ability to make an intelligent calculus initially. The red flags were everywhere with Lampard, Rafael and frankly Carlo as well in correlation to what this job needed. We may get this hire wrong too but one of the main reasons we are in this mess is talking ourselves into managers being a fit, projecting only the most optimistic outcome and omitting glaring holes that likely should have steered us away in the first place.

I hope the board or Thelwell are connected with a good sense of international managers which I think they'd be wise to favor. Sadly I doubt thats the case.

You compared him with Klopp, Guardiola etc who had already beem at the top level

Potter had already joined a smaller club first from Scandinavia. Exactly what i said teams would wait for until this chap had tried somewhere after Norway.

Thats literally the point i countered with.

It was mention in that podcast with Stan Collymore that Potter chose to go Ostersund because he needed to go to a club that was his level in terms of is management skill at the time

Any manager in the world would take the Everton job easy 6 mill for nothing.
Turn up do bugger all get fired blame the players

Let’s face it, we’d happily do the same. The players are tripe so would be easy to do.

THE WORST SHOUT THIS ONE

Not as manager but in the coaching set up.

 

[Swartzy]

We also had one of the worlds best CM and an awesome left side

We did, which would of probably helped trying to get to grips with this style of football ( but only slightly )

The thing is that is the past, we don't have that now so we can't keep looking backwards on what/who we previously had playing for us.
We have to look at the now, and we are seriously seriously desperate, trying to play to a system that will never bear fruit with this squad.

It's time to go back to basics, attack with pace and stick the ball in the box.
It will certainly pay off more then what were doing now.

What's the point of this?

If only we bought players with pace, they must have FM and search players with 0 pace and sign him

Whoever they get in as the next manager needs to live in Liverpool. Players also. How can you manage a football team living in the smoke?!
