2021/22 Frank Lampard

[nsno-chris]

That’s a fair comment mate but he’s had a team in Europe and a mainstay in the premier league with no budget and a team of journey men so he deserves a pass In my book. That doesn’t mean I want him. To manage everton

Yeah, I’m not denying that. You know what you get from him and he’s done a good job at Burnley. For me, he’s the same bracket as Fat Sam, a defensive minded manager who relies on the second ball in the final third

We are definitely not in the financial position to be cancelling players contracts, we would have to pay them off and any potential transfer fee we could have got goes with it.

Would need some expert accounting but wouldn't be impossible. Would be predicated on a major sale, like a Richy or Dom.

Problem we have is no one wants to buy them. Gomes for example is on £100k+
a week. He's not going anywhere unless we turf him out on loan and pay half his wages or "cancel" his contract.

Sportrac say hes on £112,212 a week. That's £5,835,000 a year. 2 years left. That's £11,670,000.

We sell Richy for £60mill (low ball figure) and offset that to get rid of Gomes, still leaves us with £40+mill in a fee plus a massively healthier wage budget.

Arsenal had Aubamyang with £25mill left to pay on his contract. Apparently they are paying him up to £7mill in installments and half of his wages up until the end of the season.

There's ways it can be done. I just think it would put us in a better picture long term if we bite the bullet. Our wage bill is killing us.

Yeah, it's all 6 managers fault isn't it. Nothing to do with the players.

Well if the manager players left footed players on the right, and right footed players on the left, can you explain for me how the players are at fault when we lose

I agree mate, and regarding the thread youre right but he has been at Burnley a long time so he’s not a flash in the pan

 

[Johnny Barton]

Just saw Frank doin a presser. He was twitchy, nervous and totally not comfortable. The pressure's getting to him already.

Yes, but dont worry, he was a serial winner as a player, so we will be fine

 

[mglennon]

I give Frank the benefit of the doubt as he has taken over a massive pile of poo.

However I can't excuse him starting Seamus Coleman and holgate. Both awful. Especially Coleman

 

[Drico]

Carlo might be available soon...

Name a manager Johnny, have the balls to name a manager who you want here.

A man that will turn Keane into Baresi, Holgate into Cannavaro, Iwobi into Figo

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Just seen his post match presser. So refreshing to see a pissed off manager. Give it to them, Frank.

That’s quite common in the premier league with overlapping fullback but we haven’t got any. Except for the 2 we have bought.

 

[BlueToff]

He means the corner immediately before the goal, that JP punched behind

Yep realised the error of my ways mate and have apologised!

Tbh, I still don't think it was an easy take. Yes maybe a taller GK catches it but a lot in the PL would punch it over.

Link? Anyone?

Yes and he knew he had taken over a massive pile of poo when he took the job.
So why did he throw them all under the bus today, just like the FSW.
Took the contract then said,
"dont blame me its them"

I cannot believe how naive blubbering Bill & Moshiri are

 

[bullybeef]

The wheels are coming off.

Feel sorry for Fronk.
Although saying that, at least he gets to slot Christine on an evening.

 

[bluejohn66]

Our players are dragging his reputation down to their level, probably why he's getting 'all twitchy'.
