2022/23 Frank Lampard

[RomanReigns]

if his departure is not announced in the next 30 minutes then we are going down

 

[allen]

lad the number one candidate probably had some pinot grigio and belgian truffles with a certain Billy K over Christmas

Yeah, we all know who Bill wants. Whether his opinion holds any weight now with Moshiri I’m not sure.

 

[kenada_blue]

I might be wrong, but I don’t get the feeling he will go yet.

I think, though, that he’s in last chance saloon very suddenly.

I was his biggest fan but that isn't and shouldn't be tolerated tonight. And it was all his own doing.

 

[jayden28]

Not sacking him before the world cup is looking stranger by the day.

 

[blueblood]

Not sure he can stay after this. I have grave concerns about the people who make the decisions choosing an adequate replacement, Bill will be all misty eyed wanting to bring back Martinez, Kev will want a ridiculous reunion with Nuno and Moshiri will have some brainless idea along the lines of Pereira. Worrying times indeed.

Facing Brighton tonight brings into focus how badly run we are. Their annual wage bill is a little over half ours. They recruit brilliantly on and off the pitch. The are lean, mean and focused whilst we appear a rudderless mess. We deserve to go down

We're going down anyway.

 

[sheedys left foot]

Why oh why oh why did he change.

Why.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

I'd take Moyes back until the end of the season, if he would agree to it. We are as good as down if we bring Martinez back.

 

[Number_25]

I don’t think he should go, but he was silly to attack the fans after the Wolves game. Basically destroyed any good Will our fan base had

 

[HarpersLob86]

It's always darkest before the dawn.
I think he'll go tomorrow morning.
Who comes in though? Big Dunc ? Dyche? Fat Sam? Stevie Geeeeee? What a nightmare.
Someone have a word with Moyes....

BIG DUNC?, BIG DUNC?, BIG DUNC. Sorry @roydo but this deserves a Charlton

 

[Colonel Getafe]

JESUS WEPT!

I think that must be one of the worst ever performances I think I've ever seen (2nd half at least).

I'm very tempted to say I'd bet my house he will 100% not be EFC manager for our next game, but I'm pretty sure one of the ex-wives already took the house, so......


Jokes aside - he will be VERY lucky to keep his job. Granted, we are not yet half way through the season AND the transfer window "could" be pivotal, but that is a lot of points thrown away against teams we should have probably got something from (Leics, Forest, B'mouth, Wolves - most at home).


I want Lampard to succeed here more than any manager since Moyes, but you can't ignore the numbers (without looking them up, they must be close to Benitez-levels bad, if not worse). And before anyone says "who do we get if we sack him", the likes of Wolves and Brighton and Villa have attracted pedigree managers in the last month, so it's not impossible. Logic suggests a better manager would surely have 1-2 of our defeats into draws and 1-2 of our draws into wins, which could be the small difference come season-end.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Think that’s probably it for him

I like him, but holy cow

 

[Brennan]

If he goes he’s leaving us five points closer to relegation than we were when Benitez was sacked. The home record in particular is just inexcusable.

No wonder David Weir turned us down to stay with them.
