[Football] Lampard to Everton?

[Icy Gull]

I will watch with interest if this happens. I would not want Fat Frank anywhere near the Albion so I fully expect him to under perform at a much bigger club.

 

[Weststander]

true, its not too shabby. which makes it all the more bizzare, how did experienced Benitez fail to get a tune out of them, why would Lampard do any better.

Missing DCL, Richarlison & Allan in a load of games.

I'm no fan of Aston villa but I'm really not sure how anyone could say Villa Park isn't an old school style ground with a wealth of history

Because none of Villa Park is pre-1970s. All of Archibald Leitch's work has gone - knocking the grand old Trinity Road Main Stand was, to me, nothing short of vandalism. Villa Park is all breeze-block and concrete now.

Edit: The oldest part of VP is the Witton Road stand. Nobody in their right mind could say that was' old school' surely

reckon Frank may surprise a few re how well he does in long run at Everton

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Based on the fact I think he's a good fit for them. There doesn't need to be any hard evidence when you voice an opinion, otherwise 90% of NSC would be talking out of their arses

But 90% of NSC do talk out of their arses

But "long run" at Everton is till the end of the season. If he hasn't improved them massively by then he will surely get the boot and they will go begging the old whore shagger to climb on board another old bint in need of one up the jacksy.

At least we've got them out of the way this season......no new manager bounce........oh, we've got Watford coming up with Woy !!

 

[DJ NOBO]

He’s a good manager, has a genuine love for the game and did quite well at both clubs he managed.
I’d have him at Brighton (another time)and he’d be a sensible appointment for Everton.

Tim Sherwood with A Levels.

Just to remind you that 1970 was 50 years ago!!

See rumours that Everton are attempting to hijack the Manchester United to Palace loan deal for Van de Beek.

Whoever gets him has to pay his £120,000 weekly wage, and a loan fee.

Fat Frank wants him at the Toffees.

It’s Fabrizio Romano reporting it, so it’s probably true.

Have Manure stated a club has to pay those?

He's not in a rush to accept the offer then? Would be funny if he turned it down, leaving them to face a possible shit-storm from the fans if they then appoint Vitor Pereira!

I expected this reply but you must see what I am trying to say. Villa Park, as much as I love visiting it, and yes it does still stand on the original footprint, it is just a series of cheaply built stands using modern materials.
I went with a Spurs, supporting mate to an FA Cup semi-final when Lineker played for Leicester. We were in the top tier of the Witton Lane Stand and it was almost new. I looked out at a Villa Park with the low stand up one side, the glorious Trinity Road Main Stand and at the other end the magnificent and absolutely huge Holte End. Proper three-quarters 'Old School' that. And there were many more grounds like that but they have largely disappeared. Of course the Taylor Report has done for a lot of them.

As low as that ….. really ?

Can only assume the details being sorted backroom staff he wants and all that. But, as you say it's not done and dusted just yet and it doesn't appear that he's jumped at the chance just yet!

 

[brighton_tom]

Assumed they would have wanted this all tied up with at least a few days left in the transfer window...

 

[lawros left foot]

Looking like Everton have singed VDB.




Unlucky, Palace.



Edit: Confirmed.

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

5Live interviewed David Ornstein of The Athletic about this earlier.

He said it was his understanding that Rooney turned down the opportunity to be part of the interview process, with the inference that he found that a bit insulting. Ornstein made it pretty clear that the view is had Rooney been offered the actual job rather than simply an interview, he would have accepted it.

Who knows?

Oh no, I thought , 'theres a nice feel good story' now my chips are soggy and inedible

 

[oldboyroy]

Confirmed now

 

[Surf's Up]

Everton will sack Lampard at the end of the season.
