Shall we let him have a crack? Yes for me. Serious question: Is Lampard really like us? I don't think so. He'll be off like a whippet at the first opportunity.

Jambomo 215 Posted November 11, 2021 Most of the stuff I see mentioned with him is irrelevant, a big name, being English, being a good player. He’s been at two clubs now and hasn’t done especially well at either of them. Tuchel coming in and immediately doing a lot better with the same group of players highlights this even more. Yes he brought players into the first team, but he didn’t have a lot of options because of the transfer ban, we don’t know if he would had he been in a position to do otherwise. I don’t see what he has done that makes people think he is the man for this job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is quite an interesting perspective from a Chelsea fan.

Just because Tuchel took Chelsea on to win the Champions League is completely irrelevant. NCFC and the Russian club in West London are light years apart in terms of money and expectations so comparative 'failure' (which it wasn't) at S Bridge should not automatically imply such outcome at FCR surely??

Doomcaster 10 Posted November 11, 2021 Weighing up all the pros & cons + Assts that are likely to follow the new Head Coach Frank would be my favorite apppmt as Head Coach However - Webber always looks for a 'get out card' - so he may well again appoint a Head Coach little known to anyone Fingers crossed our new Head Coach hit's the NCFC Prem challenge running - but I have that sneaky feeling Webber will look for another project & another few seasons before he is sacked Webber is good at overall cost cutting - as fully expected from a top top paid Manager Accept the few millions put into the Training Centre (as a Prem Club with 2 promotions, that is just 100% expected to happen) Is Webber very good at recruitment & able to continue finding the quality players to drive NCFC forwards over the next 3 or 4 seasons ??? - I doubt that very much A lot less of I am Mr Webber 'I am the man' - & a lot more quality put into player recruitment needed Webber needs to start showing his quality at signing new quality Prem player potential on the pitch - rather than just Blah Blah Blah behind the TV cameras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Galactico 16 Posted November 11, 2021 In one season at Derby, Lampard took them to a play-off final against the division's most in-form team at the time. They lost narrowly to an Aston Villa side including Jack Grealish, Tyrone Mings and Tammy Abraham. As a first season in football management, that's pretty successful in anyone's books surely? He also has Premier League experience with Chelsea. Okay, they improved under Tuchel but he's one of the top 5 managers in world football and a thousand light years out of our league. Knutsen has sprung into the limelight in the last 2 seasons and hit the headlines with those results against Roma, but for most of his career he's been a junior or assistant coach at a very low level indeed. Who is better qualified? For me it's no contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike w 46 Posted November 11, 2021 still not convinced that Lampard is the man, ok for champ but keeping us up, doubt it and if relegated he would be off on his own doing, not sacked. Will have to wait and see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
