Who should replace Frank Lampard?

I only hope the delay announcing Lampards departure is due to the club being busy tying up his replacement.

A return for Ancelotti?
 

Lets be honest with ourselves- within 12 months who ever we appont will be forced out because a significant part of our fanbase are crazily impatient and will begin slagging off manager, players and club staff within a few months- this will make the manager and players perform even more poorly and we are back to square one. In case anyone hasnt noticed, this is what has happened annually for the last few years.
This may be true but the frustration comes from the anomaly big swing managerial appointment strategy more so than them failing personally. Frank was a hire that removed of his playing career wouldn't have happened. He hadnt been an assistant under great manager's for considerable time, designed a playing style under a specific style or club, or cut his teeth removed from leveraging connections to the club he is a legend at with any level of distinction compared to a handful of managers that weren't great midfielders.

If the grounds were development, how was he appearing a better alternative to Favre or others? And this is all under the assumption that making a hire when we did was advised. We had a 9 percent chance that we were going down, in the midst of an internal review. The hypothetical we would have been safe and made it to the summer with more options and the likes of Marco Rose available was not only feasible but statistically likely. Maybe Dunc would have sent us down, but palace heroics was a thin margin of distinction.

In what ways are we willing to fail in pursuit of combined with managers past precedent? Everton's managerial history under Moshiri was basically been devoid of such questions besides exceptionality with incomparable managers and with an eye almost purely on results. If we fail with a manager that has worked with similar scale clubs and done well, a track record of development and schemes, knowledge of the transfer market with an eye on development and sell on strategy and it doesnt work, fine. We haven't made one appointment with such strengths which along with all the other dysfunctions at the club is the core of the ire.
 

What do you think about the strong links now circulating about Steve Bruce?

I think he would be the perfect fit for us, has that experience we need in a relegation scrap. He did a fine job at Newcastle keeping them in the league in difficult circumstances and would get the club. We need to move quickly to bring him in and let him get to work.
