Ginger Lampard.
Because he once got Burnley to Europe, during a Covid season in front of no fans and scoring 36 times in 38 matchesI don’t know why he’s considered a master relegation firefighter either when he was a Nick Pope 94th minute save against Leicester away from a third relegation of his career.
Who do you propose our absent board should appoint?Shouldn't have been kept on this season.
We could have replaced him with a better manager during the break, but once again we've decided to settle for mediocrity. Not a chance he survives past the winter, and then a new firefighter comes in and keeps us up (or doesn't) and the cycle repeats again and again.
He's a glorified fitness coach. Team selection, tactics and in game management are woeful. His reputation in the game is well earned, and this idea that he was wrongly pigeonholed as a negative anti-football manager due to his time at Burnley is such a nonsense.
This, as injury prone as Mina was he should have been given a one year extension on reduced terms but no Calamity was the one kept on and now there’s clamour for a kid to step in who spent last season in the Dutch leagueJust dreadful management and even his biggest fans can’t defend it.
