Thumbheed Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Would take Lampard if it was an end of season jobby, can't imagine many managers willing to do that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I don't believe the rumours about Lampard tbh, just names being chucked about at random far as I can tell. I'd be a bit concerned if they turn out to be true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 It's weird because I'm not convinced Lampard would be the right choice but I'm just happy to have a normal discussion about normal footballing things, rather than the impending feeling of Alan Curbishley brushing off the cobwebs.

Guest HTT II Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) I think he’s got potential, he did a decent enough job at Derby who according to my mate who supports them had them playing good football and that they weren’t ready for promotion anyway. At Chelsea his first season, he got them to a final and into a European spot, during a transfer embargo, he is credited with giving youth its chance at the club finally and in his second season before he got sacked, Chelsea spent a lot of money, but I imagine a lot of those players were signed by the club and not exactly by Lampard. I wouldn’t use Tuchel’s instant success following him as a yardstick by how poor Lampard was either, he’s a top coach and Di Matteo won silverware there in similar circumstances and he’s rubbish. I wouldn’t want Lampard here at any stage, however, only if he become a top-class manager in the future which he is way off that right now, albeit that’s mostly because he’s only been managing a few years. But the signs aren’t really there. We shouldn’t now be thinking anyone but Bruce… Edited October 12, 2021 by HTT II Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Express quoting The Sun with an article that says the club "may" hold talks with Lampard but other names are under consideration. I did better compositions in grade school FFS.

We shouldn’t now be thinking anyone but Bruce… Don't want to say too much based on what are unsubstantiated rumours, but I just think Lampard hasn't really got enough of a track record for a club aiming for the top. You can't really go off what he did at Chelsea, ultimately he was considered not good enough, and doing a decent-ish job at Derby isn't much to go off either. I just think there must be more solid options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Pilgrim Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Lampard is dead on arrival. Given that it’s their first appointment I hope they talk to a few people before doing anything tbh. I’m also not convinced that he would actually be any better than Bruce with what he has until Xmas. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think there must be more solid options. Definitely, there are literally or should be lots and lots of better options and as such, the club must do all they can to find that much better option because if they don’t, it could end in disaster with say Lampard. I wouldn’t mind Lampard coming in as say Academy director mind, because he obviously has faith in youth and is credited for helping develop the game of a few youngsters at Derby and Chelsea. And which youngster wouldn’t look up to Lampard and not be inspired by his own rise from academy prospect to one of the best midfielders of his generation in world football?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 There doesn't seem any logical reason to give short-term or long-term manager to Lampard. Short-term he might not keep us up, long-term he's completely unproven. Really hope it's not him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HTT II Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I get it now. The Saudis are crafty, by appointing Lampard we will be known as Frank Lampard’s Newcastle United and not Saudi blood money NUFC. Sports washing at its finest! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awaymag Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Conte, Mourinho etc are not going to come in to NUFC, with a shit squad and is currently 2nd bottom. The next manager is a manager to get us up the league and to start to bring in better players. Hopefully we will then be in the top 10 and then the Conte/Mourinho's of this world will become interested. The next manager is not the end game, its a building block, IMHO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
