He really, really is.
Frank Lampard | Coventry City?

No, but seriously, a good man - me! - has lost his job here today.
Yes.
Can we please sack him?
Probably gonna get sacked in the morning. Maybe the fact that game at Old Trafford is to be played as early as Friday could save his job, though I don't think that's likely.
Surely sacked after today.
Super Franky Lampard's crowning managerial achievement remains getting a bunch of Chelsea youth player on loan at Derby and then failing to promote them.
nonsense. he once managed to finish an entire bargain bucket in one sitting.
Because he’s Lampard.
“If you’re old enough, you’re good enough”
They fecking better not sack him before Friday. I’m sick of new manager bounces against us.
Dyche at Everton will be a stop gap appointment though. Probably last 18 months before the fans are sick of him
This!!
Sacked in the morning, literally, surely?
That fourth goal was absolutely horrendous. Would look out of place in an under-12’s game.
Yeah what the feck was that. Dreadful
Hope he hangs on until Friday at least.
Said at the start of the season their side looked absolutely terrible. Predicted them for relegation back then and seen nothing to change my mind.
They looked like a relegation side when Silva was sacked back in December 2019… They looked like it again last year before Benitez got sacked… 20/21 is the only decent season they’ve had in a while (59 points then)… But going down from that to the 39 of last year should have scared the hell out of the board. They should have invested wisely and picked a more proven manager last summer despite Lampard supposedly saving them.
Surely no club in their right mind will give Fwank another job.
This isnt a relegation side. Pickford, Patterson, Coady, Gueye, Garner, Iwobi, DCL, Gordon. That isnt a side that will tear down any trees, but its comfortably 12th, and at worst not getting beat 4-1 at home in January. Lampard looks well out of ideas, if he had any. A shambles of a manager.
I actually fear for Everton long term. If they are relegated this season then I see a very long road back for them. They have a few players that are actually good enough for PL football (DCL, Gordon, Pickford and a few others) who will inevitably leave and I don't see the fight in them to come straight back up. Could be looking at another Derby or Sunderland easily.
Lampard needs to go but I can't see anyone turning them around quickly. Best they can hope for is that 3 teams ultimately perform worse and unfortunately for them Wolves seem to still be throwing money at their issues and are much more capable of being hard to beat.

He'll be sacked towards the end of January so they don't have to give the new manager any money.
Everton players play like they have given up and just want him sacked. Not sure if it's all his fault, but they're not getting a better profile manager than Lampard.
No idea why Everton went for him in the first place. Seemed to be a clamour for him from Everton fans at the time. I guess it was pure desperation.
Still boggles the mind that they had Ancelotti managing them them 18 months ago!

Wonder if Rooney will come in. I know he wants to manage us one day...
Players looked mentally checked out. Apart from the lad who tried a Phil Jones head block but missed.
They should try to aim high and get either Poch or Tuchel.
He won't leave America after only recently going there.
You can do that for most sides in the league nowadays though. As a quick example Wolves also look in for a rough ride, but have Nevez, Moutinho, Jiminez etc the league is strong now
Who would have thought a club with a sock puppet owner would end up in trouble.
How this man is a manager, and keeps getting jobs is beyond me.
Profile ? He failed miserably at Derby, only got Chelsea job because he was a player at Chelsea, what is in his profile that is worth mentioning?
Profile doesn't really matter. Potter and Howe don't exactly have a 'profile' but look at how they did at a bunch of clubs.
I agree but given the size of Everton & the poor track record of the board, I doubt the fans will be okay with a De Zebri like manager being hired to replace Lampard. You've mostly aimed higher - Ancelotti, Benitez, Koeman etc. Getting a talented but low profile manager, while pragmatic, is going to be a tricky situation for the board due to fan base push back. Both Potter & Howe were brought in by a new board.
Everton fans are barely ever happy.
The poll on GOT for the next manager has Poch > Dyche > Moyes > Postecoglu. I'd take Poch or Postecoglu. I think the latter is attainable.
It's a better time now than it was last time they approached. Now the expectation is to not go down, the only concern for him will be that if he doesn't stop the goals going in, he'll never get another PL job again.
You should be getting Dyche from that quartet
The next appointment should be someone who can stop the rot, not aim for 4th in the next 3 seasons. You could be relegated by the time you're hoping for someone like Pochettino to get the team going again.
