Who should replace Frank Lampard?

Ange is a fantastic manager, but unfortunately not what we need right now. Ange is the kind of manager that needs time to bring in his own players, as he has a very focussed philosophy that needs the right kind of players to execute. Our players wouldn’t be able to play his style of football, we’d be relegated. Unfortunately Everton need a fire fighter right now.
Big fan of Celtic and of Ange but yeah his style seems much more suited to being the dominant / superior team, and we don’t have the players. They’ve struggled to make any impact against better opposition in Europe.

He’d have us playing some terrific stuff in the Championship though and his recruitment at Celtic has been top notch.
 
If it was 5 weeks ago I reckon any gaffer not as unbelieveably bad as Lampard could get survival, we've wasted that many decent fixtures with boris lampard that it might be better accepting the warm embrace of the championship and getting a young project gaffer in and thinking long term.
Again mate, I dont wanna go full Dave, but look at Forest for example, Villa even.

A decent manager, just DECENT, gets you a few wins, we havent won a game since October, yes I know, WC, but 3 months since we last won a game and we still aint bottom*, so no, I dont agree that we are goosed.

Dont get me wrong, we are in a massive massive hole with no rope.

I think what he's doing is so poor that most of it is fixable, just the wasted fixtures that gets me down

Agreed - one thing that concerns me in particular about Lampard is his inability to articulate what he means by his way of playing, which is reflected on the field by a team that doesn't look like they're being coached at all. Also talking about tactics "not being of importance" in the second half vs Southampton, and more recently that moves in the final third "should be instinctive" is an abdication of responsibility as the team's coach.
Yeah, he doesn’t seem to grasp that things that he, as a world class player, found instinctive actually need to be taught to lesser players.
 

It not being Dyche and likely not Nuno hopefully implies a degree of progressiveness and future-planning instead of lurching from style to style like the town drunk at last call.
