2022/23 Frank Lampard

Who are the 0.1%? I could do with some new friends.

Friends?? I could do with a new hubby

Yes, never even got a "new Manager bounce"

Please don't say 'new manager bounce', I've just got the image of a shirtless Steve Bruce in the dug out.

No one wants that image when they're trying to have their lunch.

Lucky how?

I can't stand the feller and never want to see the man anywhere near the club again, however the results we got and the way we played are exactly how he wanted us to play, no luck about it

When you play that way your results are largely tied to who happens to take a chance on the day. It is very random. You're not controlling games and winning them nor are teams battering you. Rafael does mostly the same but worse slightly and he had less luck. Both are dinosaurs.

Say no more baby! I still have a few quick tucked away ?

(not a fortune of course. The only time I've been "sacked" with a 7 figure pay off as a football manager was on FM20 after my Spurs side finished 5th. F.U. Daniel Levy!)

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Its got Wigan written all over this tragedy. Win the Cup and get relegated!

Well I suppose we do already have the Yabbi Creek Sydney Wanders Cup in the bag, so you might be on to something there.......

What a load of tosh.

The man built his whole career playing that way, so he was lucky for 15 years?

He sets his teams up to be solid, not take risks and take chances when you get them.

It often results in low scoring games but pick up points, something he did for us

Don’t think he’s the problem, but don’t think he’s the solution either

Absolutely. He's a bell of the highest order but you can't argue with his results. He really should be in the Ginola bracket as he should be forgotten but his results were good enough for his stupid head to pop out from obscurity everytime we appoint a truly bad manager.
My god , I would love to forget him and his obese ego.

Put Brucey in with those two

Imagine saying you have confidence to turn it around when you couldn't change anything with a 6 week break

 

[GoldenToffee]

How on earth is he still here?

Because this balloon-headed biff would only sell to somebody who would keep him in a position of responsibility at Everton FC. No doubt countless potential owners passed on the opportunity and the only one naïve enough to enter into business with Kenwrong was Moshiri:

 

[coollino]

he's obviously here for the big cup match, a good draw against Utd's b team will see him safe for the draw against Southampton

 

[brieverton]

I'm no particular fan of Allardyce but never really had an issue with him either. I wouldn't have had him here in an ideal world, but he did offer what it said on the tin.

His day is gone but if we were to rewind some years back, I'd be more confident in our chances of getting us of this mess with him as manager than with a lot of others. But that's all he offers the fireman act. Tosun was a disaster and Walcott, well he had a decent attitude I guess, but we overpaid yet again.

The squad he had was clearly better than what Lampard has to contend with but still we were more than capable back then of going on an extended winless run. I wouldn't have agreed with the thinking at the time that relegation was never a possibility. It was in my view. We have been veering towards relegation in one form or another since 2014 excepting Koemans first season. 7 or 8 winless games can easily and quickly turn into 11 or 12. And here we are today.

I imagine it would be much the same if Dyche becomes manager. In the less likely event he kept us up, there would still be a clamour from some to sack him as soon as the season is over and get someone in more in keeping with Everton's tradition. Whatever that is these days.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

The board clearly already had him lined up. They signed players while we had no manager

This x1000. Beyond mind-boggling that some people think a manager who had been in the job literally 5 minutes orchestrated a transfer of a player from one Prem team to another, 5 minutes before deadline. Clearly it was the board, it was a free transfer with future obligations, wages-only cost, they rolled the dice on a player who was ace for a couple of seasons, it hasn't worked out. No more complicated than that.
