Football’s all about opinions, my first choice would be Dean Smith but I’m kind of excited if Frank gets the job. I can’t stand Lennon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 22 hours ago, Bris Vegas said: He has his coaching badges. So he is elegible to coach... So why shouldn't we consider him? Successful football management is not learnt from a text book and no coaching badge will miraculously turn you into a winner. Ferguson, Clough Sr, Wenger, Stein, Mourinho, Shankley not a coaching badger between them but a war chest of trophies and boy ,could they manage. This robotic coaching badge system is absolute garbage and anybody giving it credence needs their head looking at. Football management is about motivation, observation, and ability to communicate with each individual’s characters and mindset and the intelligence to formulate and structure a competitive team unit. You will not find any of this in a text book and if this is truly your selection criteria for our new manager I despair. 22 hours ago, Bris Vegas said: Does he have to do well at another club first? Why are we so different to Barca, Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid? Absolutely and the crux of the whole thing, I want proven ability. Do you know what; give me Messi, Lawandowski, Ramos, Ronaldo, Gomez, Piqoe, Inesta and £100m to spend every year even I could pick up a trophy or two! Be interesting to put them to the test Div 1 & 2. Lampard is a smart guy. If he has a clear plan in place that falls in line with Mel's thinking, why shouldn't we go for him? Having never managed before means he has never done a bad job anywhere. Please do not let perceived intelligence and oral articulation lull you into the belief that this will make a successful manager. Nothing could be further from the truth. He may have blinded dear old Mel but not me. Hiring him is a risk. But so is hiring anyway. Who knew when we got Paul Jewell that we'd get the PJ the Porn Star and not the Jewell who took Wigan from League One to midtable in the Premier League...? For every suggestion out there, a manager would have done a decent job somewhere and probably a poor one elsewhere. If ourselves and Lampard have the same vision, the same way of moving forward, the same strategy then it would be daft not to appoint him considering the extra benefits of hiring a former world class central midfielder who won the Champions League only five years ago. You can dress it in as many guises as you wish but the one and only vision is to get to the Premiership. This will be only being achieved under the stewardship of a proven manager. You probably don’t believe me, reading back on all this, but I genuinely hope that if Lampard is employed he is proven to be a success. It will be happy days all round but unfortunately history weighs in my favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t control his gob either, how many touchline bans has he served to date ? I’d rather have Rowett back, and that’s a non starter, than have that eejit anywhere near the club.

Comrade 86 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Really can't be arsed to read the whole thread so just thought I add a few 'boos' of my own. Might as well start rubbishing the new manager before he's been hired, as there's no point in waiting, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeS Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 This is all tosh. Lampard may or not be the new manager. But we don't know what is in Mel's mind or who else he has interviewed. Could be a big surprise on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
