Lampard - I'm on the fence with this one....

Despite me being a Liverpool fan as well, and my stepson is a Chelsea fan...... I have several opinions on Frank...

I sincerely believe he needed another year at Derby, before going to a 'prestige' club, OR he needed to go to Newcastle/Leeds type of club first.

He's proven to be a bit predictable

Has fallen into the trap have having favourites he won't drop ever - I'm looking at you Mason Mount primarily. Even my stepson doesn't understand why he plays so much

I'm not convinced that Havertz was a Frank choice, but Werner probably was.

Truth be told, quite a few people I know were surprised that Frank even started this season.

Made my Day 😂😂😂

Saw him 2 weeks ago with Jamie Carragher laughing how much it means to him to beat WHU

This dish is being served from the chilled compartment

Didnt the West Ham fans give him a hard time and reckon he only got the gig because of his dad, before he went on to be one of England's most influential players and win loads of trophies. I'd forgive him for enjoying it then....and I am sure his next gig will be somewhere good.....

Stay Home. Stay Safe.

What about Werner who cost them £47.5m?

Still had budget enough to bring in a £40 million midfielder from Real Madrid

Another example of a good player expected to make a good manager, it rarely works that way. I also firmly believe in most instances a potential manager should learn his trade at a lower level although there will always be exceptions such as Kenny Dalglish

Wasnt it more they were under the transfer ban so had no option but to use what they had including the numerous young players that are normally farmed out on loan and they did well. They then spend multi millions on imports and they dont do as well. Makes you wonder what the best way to go is. Personally think they only needed to add a couple not go at it like some kid playing football manager and his team get a windfall to spend!! Not sure how many of them were actually Lampards choice either. That said had they not been under the transfer ban he wouldnt have even been considered for the job in the first place and would more than likely still be at Derby.

He did it as a player at WHU and Chelsea , and Citeh
It was his continued attitude towards the club that gave him his chance in the Football world that irks ... See his recent Sky interview with the Spitty Scouse and how much Lampard lioves beating WHU
West Ham fans’ immature attitude towards him( myself included ) is merely reciprocated by Lampard. .... I’d love him to rock up at S2

Seems crazy that they're replacing him with a guy who has fallen out with the management of every club he's been at mind

I give you this little beauty ....
“ The players had no part in his dismissal... he played his cards and they didn’t work
MAYBE HE WAS TOO YOUNG AND ( wait for this CPS )!MAYBE THE JOB WAS TOO SOON FOR HIM
That’s football’s nicest guy talking about Ande Villa Bolas in 2014

Your thoughts?
