robinforlife2 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I fully expect Frank Lampard to be our next manager. He missed out on the Rangers job, and wants a return to management. Michael Johnson has said he will work with him as a number 2 wherever Lampard ends up. Don't care if people laugh at this, but a very good friend of mine, who played in League One and the Championship all his life, is good friends with Frank, and he has told me about 10 minutes ago, that Lampard wants the City job, and his people have made contact with the club. 4 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 If we were set on an ex-Chelsea manager, I’d go for Hayes over Lampard every day of the week, week of the month, month of the year and year of the decade. Lampard is a serial failure as a manager. If we go for him, we deserve to serially fail. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Aside from the fact he is absolutely ******* woeful, he will just use us as a stepping stone on the back of any hint of success The polar opposite to Pearson in pretty much every way 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenred Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Worrying if he has approached us. Lansdown would absolutely love the increased spotlight that would feed his ego - you couldn't get him off tv and radio during that brief run under LJ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fordy62 Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Wael would never let Lampard manage us. Oh, and if there’s a way for me to be more ****** off with Steve Lansdown, then this would be it. So perhaps not that left field at all.

George Rs Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 To be fair, don’t think he was to bad at Chelsea, and iirc was good with blooding youngsters and utilising them correctly. 4th place and an fa cup final in your first season in the big house isn’t too bad. Pretty sure that was their season under a transfer embargo as well. Don’t think it’ll happen, but would take him over Nathan jones in a heartbeat.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Tomori, Mount, Wilson. In the same team, at Championship level. Yep, scrape 6th!! Played a key role but by no means the sole one, in their overspending and then running aground. No thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
