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

[Shibbywiggles]

Spygate mate. The playoff games with Leeds. Massive hatred between derby and Leeds now due to it.

Oh yeah I forgot about that ?

The camera deffo looks like it was being recorded for a betamax tape

I’ll be honest I didn’t spot that…..

I Hope he does his first press conference in Latin. @Joey66 can translate it for us

You seem very angry.

A member since 2014, barely post and haven't posted for over 3 years apart from this week. What's Frankie done to you? We are all friends here.

I’m more of a reader than a poster, I’m not angry at all.

I just think hiring a manager who’s record is average at the very best,who has zero defensive coaching ability, has limited experience, is very risky and makes relegation more likely.

It’s like Newcastle signing Howe, why on earth would you sign a manager with zero defensive coaching ability whilst fighting relegation? it makes zero sense

 

[rstevens]

Wierd isn't it, can only think why...

Why?

 

[gwladysnight]

Mad that you think any signings made at Chelsea are ‘the managers’

Lucky Moshiri has no influence on Everton transfers then.

Steady on mate one step at a time!

To your point, he won’t be going RS or another London club I’d think but he did actually play for City very bizarrely and briefly so if he was actually THAT good I wouldn’t rule that one out!

City is an option but after Pep being there and having success I just can't see them going for Lampard until he'd already proven himself with a club much bigger than Everton.

I know you say one step at a time but we need to stop the revolving door of managers and get a bit of stability. I'd like to think that part of the conversation in the numerous interviews was around the longevity of the job. Lampard has been given a 3 year contract but hopefully he'll have been asked about his long term plans. I'd love to see a return to Everton only changing managers every 5 to 10 years.

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

He's a football manager not a wizard!

Maybe they signed Howe as no one else wanted the job.

Who should we have signed mate? I've given you a coach badge and a whistle, tell me who R Stevens would have hired as I'll be interested to hear your opinion

I doubt we will ever see euphoria to match the appointment of CA.

I do believe however that Lampard will almost universally be welcomed by Evertonians.

I support all Everton managers and have done since I first supported the club when the great Harry Catterick was in charge.

Some have been more difficult to support than others but I am genuinely positive about this
It has taken a long time but maybe at last the club is starting to make correct decisions.
Bringing in Cahill,if true, to a senior role administering the club will also hopefully work out well.

I have seen reports that Duncan is gone but I have doubts about that, at least Initially. I think the new manager may Want Duncan to stay at least until the end of the season to help the new team to settle .
Lampard will have a big job and no real time learn about his players, I think there will be a role for Duncan.

However, if Duncan has ambitions to manage Everton it is clear he has to learn the role elsewhere first.

Good luck Frank Lampard, welcome to the mad House and hopefully seventh time lucky for us.

Just imagine if in a few years time we are talking about this evening/night as the night the Everton rise to the top began.

@chicoazul is looking forward to Franks first game in charge with his mate Boris as a guest….


*runs…..

Leeds collapsed after spygate before that they beat Derby twice. Derby finished 6th that season, a massive 20 points behind Farke's Norwich. They finished 6th despite having three of the best players in the League on loan in Mount, Tomori and Wilson.

Tuchel's Chelsea have conceded 18 goals in 24 games this season. Lampards Chelsea conceded 54 goals in his one full season. That was followed by him getting sacked because he had the lowest points per game of any Chelsea under Abramovich. They lost 5 of his last 8 League games and failed to beat a single team who were above them all season.

Absolute rubbish. The league that year had players like benrahma, Watkins, Harvey barnes, Buendia, Bowen, bamford etc etc. Stop taking absolute nonsense.

No dcl and wingers playin on inside foot, or it could be 2 central strikers and offensive player. We need to play direct, pragmatic not posession football. Defence one on one except top 3 Teams. When wingback asissts other wingback Frank buys whole team dinner

So 4 wide men in essence, 3 Central players in Midfield and Attack... Reckon we'd definitely see some goals

@rstevens you've posted the same response twice within a couple of minutes.

I've obviously responded to one but not the other. I just wanted to make sure you got my initial response.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Well it’s Lampard not to happy but not to sad.. been ignoring Everton for a few days
