Frank Lampard Rumours (8 Viewers)

[fernandopartridge]

2bh - he changes between 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 regularly and when Everton were against it he changed to 5-4-1.

I’d suggest he has some tactical awareness and flexibility

Everton weirdly don't rate any of their managers, it's almost as if they're playing with a bad deck

What's Grok? I left Twitter last week after Trump won the election. Twitter will just become the propaganda arm of the Trump Administration from January. BlueSky is much nicer. No bots, no sex bots, no Temu ads, no right-wing nutters.

Do you have to register and use your own real name with only one account permitted? Perhaps even proof via passport. At least that way you have to stand by what you say, any remarks however abhorrent, you own them. Until then I'll stick to the safety of SBT.

Every fanbase of the clubs he's managed have all said tactically he's rigid, often devoid of ideas beyond what's initially set out, and that ability-wise he's extremely limited.

To be fair, if you ask the "majority" of city fans then Robins is the best manager in the Championship.

Was in a meeting, what was said on talkSPORT?

"All Mark's fault" I think would sum it up quite nicely.

King said he was playing with his deck all night and couldn't wait for Lampard to have a go too

Dreamt we appointed Eustace, but he came from Plymouth and their fans were over the moon for him. Then there was a party and suddenly The Killers were on stage.

Pointless reply of the day is here.

Funny. When robins did that it was a sign he was losing it.

Guessing you're more dancer.

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

It's a risk for Lampard as if he fails here with the support Doug will provide then his managerial reputation is pretty much gone

My hands are almost always cold!

Yeah but if he does well he gets the big job he wants and if not ah well the podcast circuit awaits.

 

[wingy]

He sort of also said he still wants the stadium in a roundabout way

Yes, When Fraser decide they don't want it anymore, probably related to getting some planning consent either on site or similar!

 

[wingy]

Not sure about that, if he went and got a random Norwegian from Div 2 that's a tactical Whizzkid and flies us up the table we wouldn't complain.

A geeky kid who plays versions of pep or Arteta and working in league 2 ripping it up, alongside someone who can give him Kudos by the successful record he can demonstrate?
A job for AI?

 

[wingy]

My hands are almost always cold!

Other extremities ,hot feet,not quite Rod's territory, Northern Soul?

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Been a while since Alan Irvine last managed

Did they play the stadium previously, second mention for them in a week that!
Hot Fuss?

 

[wingy]

"All Mark's fault" I think would sum it up quite nicely.

Yes gave him enough room and voi la,all well intentioned I'm sure!

 

[fernandopartridge]

Does he want a big job? He's had a big job at a club he played for already. I'd imagine he really just wants to prove himself.

I think if an established PL came along he’d drop us in a heartbeat.

Dreams ALWAYS mean something.

Reading between the lines, Eustace went down to Devon for a 50th birthday party, but then on the way back, got assassinated.

Ffs Wingy, write something I understand. You’re in a complicated mood today!

 

[wingy]

@Saddlebrains can you clarify who put out certain information around matters around mourning, player's putting letters in etc?
I think the suggestion was it was more than one,Sheaf specifically was mentioned on here, what I'm asking really is from whose perspective did it come,and is it absolutely the truth,no mention of any trauma in their from King?

So would Robins, surely?

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Funny. When robins did that it was a sign he was losing it.

The tactical changes didn’t bother me, it’s the players being randomly shoehorned into alien positions that concerned me

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Lampard - I don't want him. Tactically inept

 

[torchomatic]

Not that we will have any choice, obviously, but this has been running for a few days now and only 19% say they would want him as manager. Sorry, Head Coach.

I am still in the ‘meh’ group. Horneland would be very intriguing though.

so was Robins, in the main

 

[torchomatic]

Thanks to you he's the guy I desperately want to be our next manager.

 

[mmttww]

Horneland would be very intriguing though.

Someone see if his CV is on CV Library and ping it to Doug, or see if they'll accept a LinkedIn URL. Sounds like he'd be a lot of fun! Wright and Saka would have a field day playing the way he does at Brann.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Thing is he hasn’t worked outside of Norway and is now in his 50s. Perhaps it would flop, perhaps not

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Has Lampard actually been credibly linked by anyone on here as being a frontrunner for the job or is it just the press have some kind of hard on for him and that because he formally applied we can't possibly turn him down?

 

[Macca1987]

Every fanbase of the clubs he's managed have all said tactically he's rigid, often devoid of ideas beyond what's initially set out, and that ability-wise he's extremely limited.

Being a great player doesn't mean you're going to be a great manager.

Thought you were talking about Robins then

 

[sneferu]

I think Lampard will be good. Right man at the right time for him and us. Doug will back him and he is tatically aware (something we have been lacking) and the players will be motivated.

Especially if he brings in Jody Morris
