2022/23 Frank Lampard

[Blue_in_london]

Reading todays reports about us admiring the attacking football brain of the Celtic manager, Postecoglou. Love to see him come in looking utterly perplexed and asking Mosh why the strikers haven't arrived at training yet!

...Strikers....what's a striker?

Corporate seats can cost many times as much as a single seat, our current corporate offerings are not great. I think we have new heights to reach from income that just isn’t there with Goodison, hence the new stadium.

We'll have scope for greater corporate income, sure. Would you trust anyone in that boardroom to maximize the opportunity?

If people think a shiny new stadium is going to immediately have us in a position to drop £150m in the market every summer and/or be the catalyst to fix all our problems, they might be in for a big surprise methinks.

"Why cant we have the shiny new toy?...It's not fair....whaa whaa whaa!!!!!"

I think people have a right to be worried Dave.
We have been unlucky at times under FL and didn't pick up points although we might have deserved them.

Recent performances though have deserved and got nothing.

What I don't understand is managers going back to basics when things are going badly.
Defend in depth , pack midfield, play on the break. The first rule is to stop losing but from I see it is a continuing rerun of the same tactics and formation and hoping something will happen.

I can accept losing if I see the manager being imaginative in trying to make things better.

I also think the players should be giving more on the pitch and I wonder why that isn't happening.

Why would Everton board members be at an Everton football match?? Hmmm, that is a tough one, Poirot.....

Do they usually go to away games?

Not to my knowledge....

Do they usually go to away games? ??

Not to my knowledge....

Yes

The board certainly do anyway. Moshiri rarely goes to any games

 

[ForeverEverton]

Yes

The board certainly do anyway. Moshiri rarely goes to sny games

The way it was said in the space was as if they`d gone down there for a reason other than watch the game....

Where is the vote of confidence from the club with the current pile on?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I only really rate the 2 defenders. Garner has been a pointless signing. Gueye is enormously overrated by Evertonians. Onana was a punt we couldn't afford in our position.

Maupay and McNeil are just bad football players. And the age argument makes no sense for McNeil. He's been around for ages and had well over a hundred premier league appearances. He's not going to come good and suddenly develop. He is what he is - a one paced, one footed, championship player.

The recruitment was horrific and thats not hindsight. A lot of us knew it back in August and were shouted down.

McNeil was a strange signing from the off.

There is no need to say anything. It is 43 days until our next game...

 

[Drico]

If it is the clubs intention to change managers then do it now and give the next man six weeks to work with the squad.

And this is where the club can be relied on to completely crash their own escape plan.

The time for a decision - one way or the other - is now. I don't think sacking Lampard is an unreasonable position. The results have been, generally, atrocious, taken in the round. Similarly, one could take a reasonable position that the manager, selected by this board, deserves support and some loyalty. But we have enough evidence at this point to make a case for either course of action. Back him or sack him NOW. Waiting for what, I would argue, will be the inevitable January collapse into the bottom three reduces our time - and options - considerably. World Cup managers will have fixed themselves up, the window will have gone, and any new man will immediately be up against the clock.

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Do they usually go to away games? ??

Not to my knowledge....

Yes, sometimes they do. It's perfectly normal for a club's board members to attend games, either home or away, when available to do so. Almost certainly happens up and down the country at all levels, every week. Nothing ominous or unusual about it.

Only our lot could put 2 + 2 together and come up with eleventyfive-and-four-thirds.

McNeil was a strange signing from the off.

Strange to say the least

But showed absolutely nothing has changed off the field. New DOF but same old dire decision making.

The lad is not even a footballer

Maybe sacking Lampard hasn't even crossed their minds, so needing to come out with a vote of confidence hasn't crossed their minds.

Agree mate, he's not even Championship standard.

Christine - Frank can you try and get sacked before Christmas so that we can enjoy Christmas in London this year with the family

Frank - i tried Christine, i really tried but they just won't get rid of me no matter how bad i do

This x 100. The baying mob might be screeching on the interwebs and twittersphere but behind closed doors, for all we know the owner and board have told Frank they are unanimously behind him 100% and he doesn't have to be concerned otherwise.

By the same token, behind closed doors for all we know the board may well be somewhere down the line of deciding to make a change, identifying who they want, and starting discussions to bring him in. If that is the case, you'd expect radio silence until everything was decided behind the scenes, and all the contractual stuff with the current coaching staff dealt with etc.
