[Football] Looks like Frank Lampard has gone....

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

As an aside, I read that the new stadium is now overbudget and they will need to secure more funding. What odds for this not being finished?

Everton.....the Crystal Palace of the 20s.

Apparently Dyche is hot favourite. Bring it on.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Are everton becoming the northern watford?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Agreed The Ginger one is most likely, don't think he will save them...

From the School of Science to the Old Barn of getting stuck in.

 

[Grizz]

Would Dyche go for the Everton job? They're in dire straits, dreadful squad, would he want two relegations on his CV? Saying that he's managed Tarkowski and McNeil, so maybe it would be for him.

 

[pb21]

Steve Bruce?

 

[Randy McNob]

wasn't their last relegation more than 100 years ago?

 

[Solid at the back]

I think Lampards biggest failing as a manager is choosing the clubs to accept job offers from. I think if he got that bit right he could be a successful manager.

OK - I'll bite.

How on earth do you come to that conclusion? He has achieved nothing as a manager. Clearly gets jobs because he was a good player. He's in the same category as Southgate, Gerrard, Kane. All of these guys benefit from a media love in and are free from criticism.

The narrative won't be what a poor job he has done, but what a shambles Everton are as a club. That's true, they are, but Lampard shouldn't be free from any blame. He will walk into another job as a championship head coach, ahead of far more qualified candidates.

Great player, terrible coach. Likeable guy, "one of the lads".

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The players they've been left with for the money they've spent is simply mind boggling. Like a genuine maths question. I don't get it.

Possible - his wife likes Cyprus.

How do people know these things

are they a shambles ? only seemed like yesterday they had Ancelotti at the helm and James banging in the goals

 

[Pevenseagull]

Should have had Michael Carrick instead of Lampard .... As has often been the case.

Don't see why not. Give him a deal till the end of the season, with a maHOOsive bonus built in if he keeps them up. Come the summer both parties can take stock and discuss a new deal, or part ways.

'Get some good hard kicks in early doors, and then behave yourself and stay on the pitch' (in a growly voice).

Cough it up lad ! Better out than in.

 

[indy3050]

Have Everton ACTUALLY released anything yet??

Have Everton ACTUALLY released anything yet??

Only the suffocating stench of thermonuclear abject failure.

 

[Swansman]

Hope they go and talk to Bielsa.

When Swansea wanted him as manager, he made them take a two and half day journey to his house in rural Argentina where he spent eight hours telling them how shit all their players were before ending the meeting by telling them there was no chance he'd take the job.

Doubt it would be any different with Everton.

 

[Mancgull]

Dyche wouldn’t go down well with the Everton fans who unrealistically want survival and a decent football style from the current team.
Still, probably the best chance of staying up.

 

[Justice]

Some decent Everton fans on the radio Saturday they aren’t all scummy scousers. Like we would feel the thought of Dyche in the door now would be terrifying. With half a season to go there is time to make a better appointment and stay up. The window closing in a few days isn’t ideal for a new manager strange timing.

If they want to please (or at least no upset) the fans I don't see any other option than Duncan Ferguson.

 

[rigton70]

Isn’t it Everton and Arsenal who have never ever been relegated from the top flight ?

Both have.
