Who should replace Frank Lampard?

Few of these are credible options

I can’t see why we’d want someone with Postecoglu’s credentials - lower quality experience than any recent manager appointed

I doubt Pochettino would want to join

Dyche would be no better than Frank

Moyes could be an interesting option with West Ham also in a poor position

The best option would seem to be to stick with Lampard for the long term - even if relegated - and rebuild the club over time

The main issue is not having a striker - more so than the manager

The time we go down that is a point with no return. Look at Leeds. It took them like 18 years to come back up.

What’s the full analysis of sides that have gone down and time to come back up? Obviously a range of examples from those who’ve come straight back up to those who’ve never returned

What we need above all else is to somehow sign a good forward or two this window

The bottom half of the table is so close on points - if DCL had stayed fit, there’s a good chance we’d be in the top half

Lampard generally made good signings in the summer - crucially we didn’t land a striker but we can’t expect everything to be perfect and that’s not only Frank’s responsibility

He has a free pass as long as we stay up. However, 3 wins in 17 (will lose to City) I am afraid his time is running out.

But what’s the alternative? If we hired someone else, what would we do once they inevitably hit a bad run?

Is it massively oversimplifying things to think that changing the manager is always the answer?

Is the real problem that we need another striker or two?

I don’t know who’s the alternative but the current winning rate indicates that we will go down.

The poor recruitment on the attacking players in the summer means the management has to take responsibility for the mess. They had the money but they sign poor crap players like McNeil and Maupay. And they knew DCL is a sick-note so why not buy more options in the summer? I mean good players.

I agree the striker recruitment should have been better and all at the club would have known it

The fact is the club did recruit well in defence and midfield and do we get rid of a decent person at the club in FL, because the club wasn’t able to land a decent striker in the summer

I expect Lampard would feel a responsibility to stay if we did go down and his winning mentality combined with the clubs resources should ensure we come back up - perhaps the better for the experience of rebuilding from scratch

He and KT better sign two attacking good players asap to save us from relegation. They have over a month or so to identify targets and must have new signings signed and sealed on 1st Jan otherwise this is negligence.

Lampard is absolutely not staying if we go down.
