Who should replace Frank Lampard?

[Moomin]

We literally threw 5 games from the off so basically we needed to get 40 points from 33 games....this from a side who barely mustered that over the course of a whole season last season.

Gross negligence on an epic scale.

We had better results and performances from that first 5 games though.

The last five games have been 100% worse.

Basically Moyes would keep us in the league and will be available soon so I'd have no problem with him coming back because our options are very limited if lampard goes after city game

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Some real mediocre players you’ve listed there tbh.

Wha?? That Leeds side was superb. Loved watching them play. Team of young lads just doing their thing, who almost achieved everything. Definitely one of the best ever sides not to win anything IMO.

If he becomes available as you suggest it’s because WHam think he could get them relegated.
This lacks any logic whatsoever.

Agree with you, he wouldn`t be top of my list to succeed Frank, nothing is guaranteed but Moyes would be the next best thing... I think you`d see a fairly instant upturn in form under Moyes. He doesn`t suffer fools gladly.....

We looked as flat as anything in those first 5 games (apart from Leeds away where we seemed to carry a threat)

But up top we were dreadful against Chelsea, Villa, Forest and Brentford

The last 5 games have been the same because in all honesty nothing has changed. They brought in a striker who unfortunately isn't very good at playing up top by himself.

We won't be winning many games until this is addressed.

Some Burnley fan on my Championship page just stated they bought in 16 players with the McNeil fee ?

Probably bought 16 boxes of champagne too. Imagine being savvy enough to convince our world-class DOF to commit to a ~£15m deal for that gimp. My nan is a better player.

I presume WHam are hoping the same right now?

With Moyes we know he would get us challenging for Europe. Dyche is much more of a gamble.

Challenging for Europe?!??! Have you had more lunchtime beers than me?!?? The closest we are getting to Europe with this squad is a pre-season friendly against Guernsey. Even if Pep was here let alone Moyes.

Thomas Tuchel, should be the no.1 choice... available now

Ok. Just checking for experience of relegation dog fights without a striker

 

[Colonel Getafe]

Vincent Kompany is doing a good job at Burnley.

Early season when we went quite a few unbeaten and barely conceded I thought a corner was being turned.

As shyte as we are there’s someone somewhere who can do a better job than this surely.

TBF Kompany is doing well, but you have to caveat it by saying he basically has a team that has been in the Prem for 6/7/8 years or whatever it is, probably has a bigger budget than most Championship sides and perhaps even has the luxury of parachute payments to steady his ride. Maybe he'll be a top manager, maybe not, but I'm always cautious about managers who do well with teams that are the big fish in a small pond.

Think he means in time. Possibly even a short space of time (year or 2)

Moyes would be my realistic pick tbh.

 

[Lawrence]

Martinez will be with a club in early January. He is back in Parbold and waiting for a call. I believe the call will come from Everton.

Burnley are going to get promoted straight back up by binning off the Dyche crap and playing expansive stuff. I feel like there's a lesson there. Didn't require a squad overhaul or any crazy length of time, just a different manager with a clear plan on how he wanted to play.

Burnley sold/released 10 players and bought 16 in the summer.

They won't get relegated with Moyes in charge, but haven't achieved anything near what the owners and fans probably expected at the start of the season, there expectation is Europe or top 10 are's is survival only
