I get that he's a had a good half season at this level but that seems to be about it..... I'm just wondering if I'm missing something given he seems so high on people's lists? Plays good football, very good with youngsters, done excellent in his last 3 jobs, all clubs that were skint/had some kind of problems, got them all promoted and kept them in the division above comfortably. None of them have continued his longevity, they have all sunk when he left which shows you how much he was getting out of their players. You can call it a good half a season but they were already fairly safe, then got another points deduction and pretty much got safe again. They had something like 8 clean sheets in a row at one point, for a club like Wigan in this division, that is an amazing achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without those 3 loans, we don’t finish in the top 6. I agree with you that we shouldn’t be chasing big names and should go for a manager who is going to get us playing good football Well, he did sign them so he deserves the credit for their success. They were also much better players after a season under Lampard than they were then they arrived, I don’t think that’s a mark against Lampard’s record. FWIW the advantage of having a “big name” is it’s easy to convince young talents being loaned to the championship that you’re their number one destination.

Would Rooney or Terry have the funds or ability to get big prospects in on loan in January? If that’s what it would take, and there’s no guarantee we would be able to, then that’s much to big a risk for us to take Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may sway the player but I doubt it has any impact on who the club choses to loan their player too. We got the Chelsea players because they were grooming him for the main job there.
