I’ve got a funny feeling it’s gonna be him. All adds up, potential new owners wanting a big name? 

What potential new owners?

Presumably he would want a big budget for new signings? Ain’t gonna happen. 
 

Plus he is a crap manager…

Is he? Did a great job with Chelsea when under a transfer embargo with their young talent (including Tammy) and got Derby to the play off final. He failed at Everton, but inherited a club in a tailspin. We could do worse than appoint Frank. But of course we won't.

We could do worse than Frank, but not much worse.  Peter Reid would be worse as would Paul Merson

I’d quite like Hassenhutl 

He was on about retiring after his Saints stint. Not sure he'd be motivated tbh. 🧓🏚

Would imagine that this is the type of manager that the Lansdown’s would help deflect criticism away from the glaring error of sacking Nigel Pearson, all because he disagreed with them, and probably told them they had football shit for brains.

The “it’s my trainset” school of management that has brought no success in 20 years.

Firstly - I wouldn’t be surprised if Lampard was interested. His reputation currently is such that he needs to look at this level and he is more of a coach than a manager. Albeit not a very good one.

Surprisingly, as he is quite an intelligent man, I’ve always found his football intelligence lacking. If you look at that Golden Generation side, the reason him and Gerrard didn’t work is because Lampard just couldn’t play CM - he kept trying to play on top of the front men (as he did with Chelsea where it was one up top and him behind) and it left Gerrard isolated in the centre and overrun. Basic intelligence on positioning - other than in the specific role he played for his club - was lacking. That lack of intelligence has been carried forward into management - I’ve found his teams to be set up naively and without any real nouse, relying just on an individual doing well (as happened with Derby).

Very good player in a specific system. Shockingly, no real nouse for the game outside of that.

Wow!

If only all those other top class managers who continually selected him had your in depth football awareness and knowledge

Would turn a few heads but we don't really make appointments like that.

I'd think he'd want his own brand of football rather than adopt our philosophy but perhaps they might align.

Overall, I think it's unlikely he's Nige's replacement.

Considering SL once approached Gerrard, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried for Lampard too.

Lets not forget SL also signed a very high profile England International goalkeeper David James at one point.   It would not surprise me if SL appointed Lampard and gave him some of the money made recently on transfers.

I'm inclined to agree with this. We need someone that can change things during games, not just stand there looking desperate on the sideline. As you say, he did well in a specific role, surrounded by great players. Deviate away from that and I'm not sure he's got it.

And has regretted it ever since.

Absolutely no chance whatsoever of this happening.

Cringey as they are, if you listen to the hostage videos unless we appointed Mary Berry this is about as far away from the description of the candidate they are after.

More chance of it being Curtis Fleming & there is zero chance of him, either.

I can see it happening too although not because of new owners; I could see the current owners thinking that a big name would placate a lot of fans. Not how you should choose a manager/coach of course.

In a strange(!) way, I CAN see Curtis put in place because the decision makers will fk about so much, piss off various candidates and they'll have to keep Curtis in post.

Curtis has his family home in the North East, is very close to Nige & is in my opinion only still in post because he was the most senior coach left to hold the reins until they appoint “their” man.

I’ll be very surprised if he is still at the club next month.

Love him, though.

Sacking Pearson and appointing Lampard would be totally ridiculous. I'd be fuming.

I'd also expect us to tumble down the table.

I think that is a real possibility whoever we appoint as none of the candidates are better than what he had and indeed appear a down grade on Pearson.

It won't be Lamps as he is more media popular than his employers. They won't like that.

Where would he get the motivation to upsticks and manage a 2nd tier perennially under achieving side in the footballing backwater that is the West Country?

FWIW, I agree with you Swede but he would most definitely improve SL's chances of flogging the club.

Nice guy, poor manager. Would be a poor decision and an expensive one too I reckon.

Did alright at Derby but was always going to use them as a stepping stone.  Same would be for us also if he came here.

Did he? Had an established championship team that finished in the play-offs the year previously.

Loaned in Mason Mount & Tomori - champions league level players shortly after and ended up with the same result. Losing in the play-offs.

If it's Lampard I'll bare my arse in Burton's shop window.

If you had said any other gentleman's outfitters, I would have taken the threat seriously RR. Not that I want to see your arse! 🙈

Burtons is long gone isn't it?

Harry Wilson too.

(Sold Vydra and Weimann though and think some older players took less of a role). Still however.. he didn't do all that much there.

He used his contacts at Chelsea to get some rising stars in but ended up losing in the playoff final to a pretty decent Villa team,  The Viilla team wasn't too bad though,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_EFL_Championship_play-off_final

Actually, so would I.

I saw a headline in Bristol Live a few days ago, suggesting that City were interested in Steve C (extremely unlikely, for me) and the ex-Southampton manager.

Whoopee, I thought, only to discover they were talking about Nathan Jones 🤨.

As I said on Monday on another thread, Lampard wants the job and has made contact. I spoke to my mate again this morning and he has said that Frank will be interviewed, and he is very keen to come here. After the chat I had with my mate this am, who is very good friends with Frank, I would be very very surprised if he is not our next manager.

Yep, I’ve been told that his agent was at AG yesterday.
