The Manager Sacked/Hired Thread 2022/23

Lampard to Rangers.

 

[HanDoJin]

I can visualise Gerrard putting on really good training sessions, and being someone you'd want to work hard for. Lampard...not at all.

An old mate. Villa STH "The first time I hear “Steven Gerrards” Aston Villa on the TV I’m kicking my tele in

I'm surprised this guy was allowed an account given the meaning of the word (which is pretty easy to find out)

Had to Google it................Ok
Bit odd someone labels themselves as one ??

His name is Richard FFS

 

[Throbber3]

Well Jasperwolf is a penis but we let that swing....

#onlyjokingtheposterformerlyknowascyber

ouch!

Another pseudonym account?

Not me .I am far less subtle, as you are well aware.

Looks like Lampard is getting the Norwich gig. That could be messy.

 

[AndyWolves]

That's really strange, Lampard has failed with two much better squads.

On paper Farke is a better manager than Lampard

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Maybe they are hoping for a load of Chelsea loanees like he got at Derby. I think it would be an appointment celebrated by Derby fans as the 11 point season might well end up in play.

 

[Tony Towner]

Lampard didn't fail at Derby. I don't agree with the general view of him on here. He failed to manage big name players, that's not going to be a problem at Norwich. Not sure anyone is keeping them up, but I think it's a good appointment

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I think a championship promotion campaign with a clearly contender squad is exactly what Lampard needs. It’s the 27 odd games before it that are the issue.

He didn't succeed either though - Derby had been in and around the play offs for years and he just about scraped in to them.

 

[Tony Towner]

They made the play off final after selling their leading scorer and replacing him with lower league players and (very good) kids on loan, whilst Morris started to close the purse. I live there it's universally agreed he did a good job, the only criticism of him was more around the media and the Frank Lampard's Derby narrative and some of the deluded feel he should have stayed

Was it Vydra they sold and got in Waghorn from Ipswich?

Fair enough - you seem to know more about his time there than me.

I've just got a theory that great managers tend to lean more socialist in their world view, Ferguson, Klopp, Guardiola, Shankly, Clough, Cruyff, the list goes on. Something to do with seeing the collective as stronger than the individual.

Lampard is a self avowed Tory, I just can't see him ever amounting to anything as a manager. In fact I'd go as far to say the exact personality traits that made him a great player will prevent him becoming a good manager.

 

[Tony Towner]

Different sport, but Michael Vaughan is the best England cricket captain in my adult lifetime and he's an absolute right wing prick. I think it might have made a difference upto about 20 years ago, I doubt to todays players it does

You haven't typed that in all seriousness have you

I’ve read some rubbish on here and this is right up there with Papper’s nonsense.

 

[Tredman]

I’d put serious money on Steve Bruce being a Tory. All the empirical evidence seems to agree with Wolfman
