It must be tough for him. On the one hand, a competitor like him would hate to lose his job and be considered not good enough. On the other, the time off would allow him to get that hair transplant.
Frank Lampard | Burnley?
- Thread starter MalaysianRed7
- Start date
Think he 100% gets potted tomorrow
Sacked in the morning
Just a shite manager.
Hey Frank, want to buy United's captain for 80 million pounds?
Moyes and Rodgers must also be on the line so who will act first?
If you hesitate you might miss out.
If you hesitate you might miss out.
You tried, you did well last season, started the season with promise and then let all your mistakes of the past control the rest of the season.
Surely his time is up
Gone, Rooney in and he gets a free hit at keeping them up.
I think he should buy Harry for 50 million then get sacked
I think thats Jones's first win in the league this season?
Lampard is done.
Lampard is done.
What is your youth set-up like? Has Moshiri invested in that at all?
There was immense pressure on him too. Calls for him being sacked a week ago. He's saved him job and given Lampard the boot
Hopefully Rooney will spend some money money on Maguire.
Shite. Loads of promising youngsters have left over the years like Thierry Small and Mohamed-Ali Cho. He splashes cash on the wrong things and the wrong ways. He isn't a football man and has no understanding of it. Hasn't let the football people do their jobs properly and thus we are in this fecking mess.
Bad news for us with Elanga.
They should have taken the money offered for Gordon when Chelsea were interested.
Rooney's shown to be able to motivate a team at the very least. Which is more than what Lampard is able to do. He cant possibly get another job after this. He's failed in the Championship for big team and for a mid-table Premier League side. Unless he wants to join Salford City or something, Lampard is cooked.
That's very depressing. Not even any medium term planning shown.
Nah, none. I think the Ancelotti appointment proved that. It wasn't with the thought that Ancelotti can grow with the club and we can build a long term vision but a thought of Moshiri where he thought oh this guy wins things, have some money, go win. It has always been a splash some cash and that will solve it hopefully job than a let's try to do this the right way job.
Rooney would be mental to take the Everton job now.
Worst manager in the league
Mediocre are Derby, crap at Chelsea and shite at Everton.

I liked his work at Derby but now looking at this, maybe he is not good enough to manage a club. Pundit it is then.
Managing Belgium at the next Euros
I dunno, I still think he has a bit of manager about him but he has clear faults that he seemingly can't address while in employment and he needs to have a very long look at those and try to fix them if he wants to succeed.
I can't see any other PL club hiring him. Maybe championship or league one. Same like Gerrard. The only reason both got some leeway is because of their playing stature.
I agree he won't get another PL job but I can see a Championship club taking a punt on him.
How does he still have a job?
The only explanation I can see is that since the Usmanov sanctions, Everton don't actually have two buttons to rub together and can't afford to sack him and/or bring anybody else in.
Anything other than that is just dereliction of duty at this stage.
Exactly. It'd be much better for him to take the job in the summer.
I feel like you've defended him so much over the past year that you're incapable of admitting you're wrong, but... Nah. There's nothing about him that shows "a bit of manager". He's terrible and he's getting worse.
Got to go surely, astonishing if he's still charge for their next game 
He'll be managing Scunthorpe by summer.
Why would you name a town Scunthorpe. It's the ugliest name ever
I think he’s shown in multiple games that he can set up a side correctly and get results but his arrogance and tendency to go back to a style that he believes is right gets in the way and ultimately fails him. I think if he goes away and works on that he could be a decent manager for a championship club. As it is he’s made terrible career choices. He should never have gone to Chelsea when he did and he should never have come to us.
I don’t think it’s wrong to back a manager at the time when you watch a club and team every week and see the things they’ve done well within the context of what they’re working with. At the time Lampard was doing a decent job, thus my comments. I then admitted, several weeks ago, before the World Cup, that despite that, results catch up with you and you can’t hide from them and he was making the same mistakes over and over again which was fecking us. Now his position is absolutely untenable and he needs to go.
I don’t think he’s a terrible manager or nothing about him shows a bit of a manager. If that was the case he would have lost every game he played at the club. Is he good enough for Everton or the PL, no. But at the time he was worth the punt to see if he could prove that he was or not. He started decently this season and then we fell apart completely and he showed he wasn’t good enough ultimately. I will always try to be fair in my assessments of my own club and others.

Sounds like you've been run even worse than United with Woodward overseeing things. That takes some doing. No wonder Everton are in real danger of relegation
Harsh on Scunthorpe
It's a free hit now, they're going down with Lampard so it doesn't matter what Rooney does.
Solskjear was humble, upbeat and naïve. Lampard is sullen, sulky and shite.
