If it’s Lampard, then kiss goodbye to any hope of the playoffs. Or a mid table finish.
It isn’t difficult; look at the success that Championship clubs have had with relatively unknown continental manager: Bielsa, Farke, Wagner (before the PL), Rohl (doing a sterling job at a proper tinpot set up) and the other one I can’t recall.
It could easily be Eirik Hordeland (?) or the German manager who took his team up 3 divisions. But it won’t be. It’ll be a glamour fucking appointment that none of us want.
Apologies for the rattling on, I’ve had a few. But seriously, Lampard, Gerrard and their ilk of unbelievable players/garbage managers can get fucked. That is all.
