New Everton Manager

[Barnfred 55]

Yes

@JMT or anybody else for that matter.

Here's my first post in this thread.

I'd give Frank Lampard a go. Thought he did OK at Chelsea and the fans were sad to see him go.

He's learning still as a coach but he's had 18 months top flight experience plus Europe.

Can somebody please tell me what's so bad about Lampard as an option.

So are we just to ignore what happpened after he left?

Leonardo came straight in after he was sacked, set a new points record collecting 33 points in 13 games, won the Coppa Italia and led them to a 2nd place finish?

Am guessing he did that with a rebuilt squad, right?

Can we just get Leonardo then?

I think because Frank struggled in his last months at Chelsea with the same team that managed to win the biggest club trophy in football .

….what’s the context for him publicly trying to humiliate Everton by calling us a small club?

My God Eggs has gone all WOKE and cancel culture over something that was said years ago let it rest you'll end up either grey, bald and with an ulcer

Had him for 6 months before he got off back to Atletico

Yeah he had him for less than half a season. They also have rules for how many foreign players are allowed in the first 11.

Lampard is terrible.

Lampard is terrible.

a slight step up from FSW then

Yes but Benitez didn't do well. His side were negative and the fans didn't take to him. So it doesn't 'kind of prove' anything, apart from that the result effectively began his dead man walking period at Madrid.

The bit in bold is fair enough for reasons not to want him but getting beat 4-0 by probably the best team on the planet at the time shouldn't be the only reason not to want him.

Why should we forget this major disrpect ? I won't forgive people who badmouth our historic club.

What’s embarrassing is the board are totally indecisive about who they want to appoint.

there doesn’t seem to be a plan and vision as to how to move the club forward.

instead what we’re getting is leaks about various managers, eventually they need to make a decision so planning can start for the start of the season.

what we have now is farcical

The club have done nothing in public, nobody know what they have or haven’t done - that is how all great businesses are run.

We may end up making a good, bad or average appointment but until we do, what’s embarrassing is people losing their mind over speculation.

Why do so many get upset over the old Small Club comment?

We’re basically a small club now in every respect other than the purse strings. Haven’t achieved anything of note in some time…we’ve had guys like Martina and Niasse pull on the jumper in recent memory…

Whoever comes in has a big job, that’s for sure.

I don't know enough about him as a manager to know whether he'll turn out to be good or bad to be honest, but I just don't see what about his record means he should be someone of interest to us at this stage of his career. A decent but unsuccessful season at Derby, another decent season at Chelsea and then a really poor run ending in a sacking. If he hadn't won 100 England caps as a player there's not a chance in hell anyone's putting him forward for this job.

as a matter of interest would you have taken Moyes back?

well, he was bought a squad of excellent players and he had them hovering outside the european spots. Chelsea realized he wasn't good enough so fired their own cult hero, then Tuchel took the same squad and turned them in to the only team that could rival City and won the CL.
Seems like a bad idea to take him on with a poorer squad of players.
