  • I’m hoping Jones, O’Neill and another who isn’t Dyche will provide stiff competition.

    I was suspect about Lampard (and I still don’t quite know how he kept us up) but at the start of the season he seemed to have a bit of a plan and got some good results. Then it all rather fell apart and he couldn’t do anything to stop it. He should have gone after the Bournemouth games tbh (7-1 aggregate). I wonder if he was a bit like Hoddle as a manager and just generally frustrated that the players weren’t as good as he had been. He never really fronted up to getting his tactics really badly wrong at times.

  • I suspect the same for Gerrard. Initially get by on the back of their name, but not able to actually coach properly. Gerrard got decent people around him, but when they got poached and he had to do it himself, was found very wanting.

  • Absolutely plus Gerrard was so unrelentingly miserable, plus can you imagine having to listen to Easy Lover before heading down the tunnel?
