yellow_belly 226 Posted November 10, 2021 Not saying he is any better than the Bodo manager … because we have no idea how he would do in English football, the PL or under the microscope that is the media… but, we are definitely getting Lampard. No idea who the coaches are. Assuming Jody Morris? Let’s hope he can motivate the young players and get a bit of luck. We could stay up… wouldn’t that be great! (We were never staying up under Farke, and he had a fair go but came up short. Nice guy, but didn’t do it in the big league!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OnDaBall 137 Posted November 10, 2021 Lampard just seems like he'd very short term, get the feeling he'd jump at the drop of a hat when a slightly bigger job comes along. Then again most managers would. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have to be, and if anyone unaware Morris was responsible for scouting and bringing Gilmour to Chelsea. Recently said this week that it's his and Frank's biggest regret not giving him more game time under their tenure as he was always a standout player. Unfinished business? A big piece of the puzzle? I can see it being a factor, if you're right of course. Still have my doubts though, but the more I think it through I'm starting to fill with excitement, so please don't let this be a hoax you cruel ****! 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheGunnShow 6,023 Posted November 10, 2021 I think it would be a poor move, but if Webber says so, I'll get behind it. Still think he's the red herring to be honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted November 10, 2021 seems like Stevie G is off to Villa... I do wonder if Rangers might sneak a look at Lampard? Maybe he can then nick Billy Gilmour from us in Jan as well... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently Rangers and Chelsea call themselves the ‘Blues Brothers’ and are on friendly terms as a club, or so my Rangers supporting friend tells me. You could see that happening.

Satriales 701 Posted November 10, 2021 The suspense of waiting for an announcment (whoever the new manager will be) is getting too much, distracting me from work! I wonder if the deal will be done this week and annouced, bloody hope so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

priceyrice 124 Posted November 10, 2021 I was dead against Lampard at first but have slowly been coming round to the idea and see it as a good fit for both parties. I would normally expect Webber to go left field but there is obviously a strong belief within the club that we can still stay up this season and I suspect because of that we're far more likely to see a manager with Premier experience or in Lampard's case someone who knows the league, the teams and players in it. The Norwegian chap seems a good option if we were building from the championship but I'm not sure he's what's needed this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then again most managers would. To be honest, right now I would take that a thousand times over if it keeps us up. It would be hugely beneficial to the club and help us shake off the “perennial yo-yo club” tag. Plus the extra cash and extra guaranteed parachute payments would be more valuable than the downside of a short-term manager.

Jpootz 15 Posted November 10, 2021 Just as an aside, I’ve noticed that there have been a couple of new interesting names that have been added to the Skybet odds list. Edin Terzic who is Dortmund’s technical director and Bo Svensson who’s the current manager of Mainz. Freddie Ljungberg has been added as well but I think we can almost certainly discount that one.

Yellow Fever 3,841 Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Lampard oddly reminds me in a way of the days of John Bond - and then again Martin Peters. At the time high profile that put us on the media map from our previous obscurity. Whoever it is I will fully support them - for us in the EPL the only way is UP.

Those names may just have been picked out of a hat, but I am convinced we are looking for someone who is first and foremost a coach, with credentials to match, rather than a more English-style manager, such as Lampard or Smith.
