The worst thing about lampard been sacked is we wont see these vidoes now. This guy gas him and others off to a tea and its always a bummer when managers on his roster get the sack;

He reportedly spent an absolute fortune on loan players at Derby though.
Mount and Tomori were favours but cost a packet and Wilson too.
He didn’t exactly work miracles at Derby.

That ties in with what I heard. Lampard was lauded at Derby for the connections which brought them great loanees in, who duly performed, but of course they didn't come cheap. The Chelsea move was predictable but came sooner than most expected and Lampard was clearly out of his depth.

The boozer he liked in Belper is currently for sale- perhaps he can change career.

Lampard is another above average player who is assumed to make a good manager, it rarely happens and not one club he has managed has improved under his tenure

Had to laugh this morning as dune ex Everton players say they want Rooney to get the job. Talk about getting desperate

Absolute nail on head
The amount of Very good players who succeed at managers is a small minority ( Sit down Pep and Cloughie I’m not talking about you )
It’s a completely different job
Lampard probably more of a failure than others . I dislike him as a person but I am more fearful thst there may be a vacancy at WHU like very soon

The list of names i saw earlier had them talking to Bielsa then mentioned Rooney, Duncan Ferguson, Moyes coming back and Everton have been turned down by Brentford about Thomas Frank.

He took derby to the playoff final didn't he? Also Chelsea haven't done much since he left and he was there mainly during the time they had a transfer embargo.

Chelsea seem to be doing worse under potter, lampard just needed more time

Except win a Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup and put FIVE past a very strong Chesterfield side.

Lampard took Derby from 6th to 6th, Chelsea from 3rd to 9th, Everton from 16th to 20th, becoming statistically their second worst ever permanent manager.

Above average player? Don't be ridiculous.

Frank has proven himself a good manager in an excellent system of recruitment, club management etc at Brentford. I'm not sure he'd cut it a club with an appalling scattergun system of recruitment, fan relations etc.

He was above average but not to be confused with world class, which he wasn't

Birchall gone at forest green. They doing badly but not sure how far a club of that size can go

Hmmm so you’re saying that there were 30 odd players better than him in the world for the 10 or so years he was at his prime? Don’t think so

[JonB]

Read this morning that Everton want Bielsa as first option but are being put off by the fact he comes with his range of backroom staff that there is no budging on and the total cost is around £1,000,000 a month for him and all of them! Add in he's apparently said the side has no pace and he wants players with pace in this month i can see them going for someone else.

That was possibly the final straw! 🤣🤣🤣

Have I read it correctly that Forest Green have appointed Duncan Ferguson?

Certainly one out of left field.

Without wanting to be over stereotypical, I’d have had big Dunc more Millwall than the vegans.

I'd imagine he scared the owner into giving him the job. Not sure he will abide by the vegan mantra there, he'll have a secret stash of jock pie cobs and black pudding somewhere. Anyone thinking of turning his digs over will need to go mob handed though.

Genuine target for them is The Championship.
