Who should replace Frank Lampard?

[WA Toffee]

Gareth Southgate.

He has had England punching above their weight for the last few tournaments by turning a bunch of overpaid primadonnas into a hard working collective.

Get it done Moshiri

….they still have no idea but Bielsa is now favourite & Marcelino Toral into the betting market.

I like the idea of Marcelino joining

 

[lungo]

Good post. He is a very volatile feller, and throw him in the deep end with our board, and considering he has never took over a side mid season before, it just stinks of relegation to me.

It is relegation no matter what.

 

[Crestfallen]

I like the idea of Bielsa if the club was stable so I think it’s a no go. Has Rooney been mentioned ?I don’t know, just a thought. Would he give us the fight? We need to plan for the next few years. I think anyone would find it difficult to keep us up, so we need to start from the bottom. I know he’s inexperienced but so was Arteta.

We're quite obviously going for the available managers not at a club at the moment but no mention of Gallardo , Tedesco , Favre or Seoane. All better options than Bielsa.

Looking at the current options should just keep Lampard and saved the money..

What a choice we have.

Bielsa who nearly relegated Leeds, or Dyche who basically did relegate Burnley.

Both with entire squads they’d built themselves, more or less.

What makes anyone think they could do better with our patched-up misfits?

 

[Milkman]

You mean like when we hired Rafael Benitez, Rob?

Pardew at 100/1 in the betting. Welcome, Alan.

Lol, first thing he did at West Brom was have mirrors fixed all round the dressing room so he could see himself at every angle while doing the team talks.

Because they have both proven to have done better than lampard has before.
They both have experience which lampard doesn't really have

Lampard would certainly have relegated us which would cost us more than what we'd pay to swap managers and give ourselves a chance of staying up

We’ve clearly learnt nothing. Every link is prefixed with ‘Moshiri contacted…’ or ‘Moshiri’s preferred candidate…’ or ‘Moshiri wants…’
There should be a rolling shortlist of 3 candidates at all times, as Brighton have and Brentford probably have. It’s clear there’s no joined up thinking when candidates range from Dyche- who would favour a direct and defensive style, to Bielsa - who would want fast, high press and intensity. It’s the same every time we look for a manager, leading to the mish mash of players that don’t fit a particular style or philosophy. Surely this should have been one of the key aims of Kev’s much vaunted ‘strategic review.’
