Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[toffee-boy]

Can the guy who followed my advice on Tuesday and put his mortgage on Lampard please get in touch so I can claim my 10% cut.

Thank you.

What were the odds on Tuesday?

I'm just ecstatic the players might actually complete a string of basic passes

He hasn't seen them in training yet mate.

Monday morning he'll be like "wtf"

 

[Gareth Gibson]

And lampard has proven what exactly? not getting derby in the premier league, and getting sacked from Chelsea?

He did well to get Chelsea into the top 4 considering he wasn’t able to sign anyone for half his time at Chelsea due to their transfer embargo. He also got them to the FA Cup final.

I was impressed by how he got Derby to the play-off final, too. They haven’t been near the top-flight for many years.

Play-off finals and Champions League football… that’s more than Pulis or Rooney have ever achieved.

They’re the same players. If they couldn’t pass before they’re still not going to be able to.

If anyone can be bothered, there's a good hour long interview with Lampard on Gary Neville, The Overlap on YouTube.

He's clearly very intelligent
Tremendously personable
Driven and likes to learn
He emphasises the importance of managing up as well as down
Hates stats too.

Very excited with this.

The big question is, can Frank turn Michael Keane into prime Beckenbauer?

Don't be silly !!!!!!

 

[longers]

He's applied for the job so surely all about him excepting?

You'd think, however ive applied for jobs, been offered the job and then turned them down because I thought the guy interviewing was a melt... granted I wasn't being offered millions lol

@chicoazul tells me he’s turned us down…..more as we get it……

Hoping Duncan is alright in all this

The Lampard effect already evident - Rondón has scored for Venezuela

One man can get us relegated though. What qualifications for the job does Lampard actually have apart from being a darling of the media.

At Derby he finished 6th a massive 20 points behind a bang average Norwich side. At Chelsea, he mismanaged a team that Tuchel then won the Champions League with.

Totally valid points.

Lampard is not a better manager than Benitez. No matter what people think of Benitez.

Neither are any of the "three candidates."

Lampard can't do defending. The difference between Lampard and Tuchel was night and day.

The difference in quality available to him between Everton and Chelsea is night and day.

It says it all about our squad that Ancelotti is a manager that does not have a system. Rather changes the system to suit the players. Then ended up looking like the Italian Sam Allardyce. He had zero trust in our defence.

However if Lampard can get Derby to the Championship final. I'm sure he can get Everton out of the Championship once we're in there.

It's not looking good.

I had a naive notion through the power of competent coaching it could miraculously happen but you're probably correct. They are a pretty rotten squad

What were the odds on Tuesday?

Not sure pal. I think it was Monday actually when everyone thought Vitor had got it.

I think Lampard was 5-1

You just made that up didn’t you…..

7 months of Benitez will have made Allardyce feel like prime Mourinho.

Genuinely, 90% of the fanbase will be onside. There certainly won't be the same 50/50 split like there was with Benitez.

Whatever happens from here on in, take each gane as it comes and get behind the manager
