I’m not sure he would go there, it was issues he had there why he came to Everton as a player in the first place.

I'm sure he is a big enough man to say that was all water under the bridge, we all do stupid stuff in our early twenties. It wasn't Rangers that was the issue it was his character.

Ferguson had no interest in Football whatsoever and lived in Majorca until the money ran out. The only reason he is back in Football is as part of the Kenwright jobs for the boys brigade. Why would Rangers even look twice at him.

Slippy had zero prior coaching/managing experience and still got the job. Whether Ferguson wants to go off and manage is a different thing altogether and one he can only answer. What I was saying is at Rangers you are likely to come first or second every year, have a high chance of playing in Europe and winning a trophy. That gives you a decent CV/experience to get a better job in England at a later point.

If Dunc goes to a lower championship club, you don't get any of that afforded to you, he has the links to the city and club and should be jumping at the chance when that post becomes available IF he has any desires of being a manager.
 
it’s in all our interests for him to do well. I’m not saying you can’t have your opinions, of course. Im not fussed either and feel we are too reactionary but I think with all the crap that’s gone on it’s understandable people want a release from that and some hope of things improving.

I don’t like our board and strongly believe they are the root of our issues but deep down I’d love them to be the best and do great . We are blues and even tho with a small amount I’d be tempted to flick ciggy ash in your pint, we want the best for Everton in our own little way.
 
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.
Agree with all that you say. I wouldn’t be too upset with Rooney turning down the job, though. He realises he’s too inexperienced at this stage. He said he’d be honoured to manage us in the future.
 
I am not a fan of Benitez but in the timeframe I spoke of he managed to win the Championship with 94 points. That shows how poor Lampard record is.

Then you look at Chelsea. Lampard is 13th of 13 managers under Abramovich in terms of PPG, Benitez is 6th and won the Europa League.

Benitez was a poor choice, Lampard is a terrible one.

Much better than the knee-jerk fans who proclaim new managers a messiah one minute and then want their head on a stake the next.

Your manipulation is amazing mate. Grant was an interim manager, and the only reason he didn't win the biggest prize in club football was because John Terry slipped taking the decisive penalty against United in the 2008 final.

The hilarious thing is that Chelsea did win the CL with Tuchel with a side that sacked Lampard.

That shows me two things, Potter is loyal and smart. GOOD

Lampard walked out on West Ham to join hated Chelsea. Disloyal.

Is a Tory who thinks Trump is great. Thick. BAD

Isn't the solution to that conundrum to start acting professionally and do our best to attract a young, successful Coach with a track record of keeping a team in the Premier League.

Instead we have pandered to the knuckle draggers who defaced our Stadium and dragged our name through the mud.

This is why I rarely post on here. Ask questions like why the hell are we appointing a manager with a poor track record and who hasn't had a sniff of a job for the last year.

Then suddenly you are a kopite.

No, just someone who can see shades of grey. As a fanbase we only see in black and white. Players and managers get massively overrated and then slaughtered when they fail to live up to the idiot's ridiculous expectations.

The only offence I am feeling is the stupidity of fellow Everton fans like you.

How the hell can we end up with a shortlist of Pereria, Ferguson, Lampard and Rooney. They would be lucky to get an interview for the manager's job of the Dog and Duck.

Then have people like you delighted that we end up with Lampard. How the hell did we go from Ancelotti to Lampard in 7 months.


No I wasn't in favour of Carlo because he was a tactical dinosaur. The same with Benitez he was also a tactical dinosaur. The issue is that comparing Ancelotti and Benitez with Lampard is like comparing Einstein and Turing with Forrest Gump.

As for doing it all in the game. The game is littered with top players who have been rubbish coaches. Lampard is the chump who dropped Jorginho. A player who Sarri and Tuchel saw as absolutely pivotal to their teams.

He is tactically clueless. How do you manage to concede 54 goals with Chelsea in 38 games. That season Chris Wilder's Sheffield United only conceded 39 goals.

Lampard has the lowest points per game of any manager in the Abramovich era 1.66.

The 54 goals Chelsea conceded in 19/20 was the most they have conceded since 1996/97

That season Chelsea lost 12 games. No Chelsea team has lost more than 12 League games since 1997/1998

They ended up with 66 points the third worst points total in twenty years for Chelsea.

You maybe could excuse that if Chelsea were in decline, but they won the CL 4 months after sacking Lampard and Tuchel is on course to concede 26 goals and attain 75 points whilst only loosing 5 games.

Lampards track record is horrific on every level.

He was a big fan of Cameron and is a big fan of Trump. Intelligence Nah.

Hard to tell from the above...You're #TeamFrank yes?

Ok fair enough view is here now and i have to believe that he will get us enougj points to keep us up. Hopefully he had learnt from his time from chelsea not going to defend him and say he will be amazing here. But the fact is he is in charge now and we have to back him as we need results . Time to judge him is now to see how he performs
 

Perfect fit let's get a guy who under achieved at his only 2 jobs and can't coach a team how to defend
He needs to adopt Dogs of War immediately. Once/if we get safe he can start his own philosophical approach to managing.

This is now a war of attrition which means casualties including our Bambi's. Sorry to be so blunt but any player not prepared to go to war after the last half of the season must be dumped.
 
Well they should if they have ambition. If he doesn’t have ambition then he isn’t the man for the job anyway. The Everton mangers job is no place for someone who just sits back and says ok moshi, shall i manage the under 23s then

I wonder if you would be of the same mind set when we have goods players ? I mean did you accept that rooney was doing the right thing when he left? Lukaku running his contract down? Some people are happy in their life and if that’s the case why would you change it ?
 
What has Frank Lampard done to earn shots at some of the biggest jobs in football? Bar being Frank Lampard, of course!

Was crap at Chelsea and was made to look a prize plum by Bielsa and Dean Smith in the Championship.
 

we'll see where it falls and then we can all spit revisionist history if he does well/poorly

"i know he was a hack when he signed"

or

"i don't care about his opinions, i can set them aside"
 
I hope Lampard can drill this into our midfielders: SHOOT.

He scored tonnes of belters from 20+ yards, whereas we mostly fanny around and end up gifting away possession.

Damarai shown he's capable against Arsenal, Townsend clearly isn't afraid to do so, so hopefully we can score more from range or at least create more chances for DCL or Richi from our midfielders testing the goalkeeper.
 
i can't think of a more public recruitment process. what a shambles. let's hope lampard accepts the offer.

his close ties with chelsea should mean that we get first dibs at their academy and fringe players, and his success as a player will hopefully command respect in the dressing room. the appointment is as much a risk for him as it is for us. if he fails, it will be difficult to see him getting another top flight job. what's worrying me is his defensive record at chelsea. if he struggled there with the players at his disposal, he is going to have his work cut out here.

i want to be positive about this appointment but i think it's a huge gamble. it will be interesting to see if he completely overhauls the backroom staff.
