You need to read some of the other Everton sites not everyone is behind Lampard, and a run of 3 or 4 bad results and that will grow. Personally I will back him as the manager but for me he is not the right man this is too big a task for someone of his experience to take on.

Once the appointment is confirmed everybody should be behind him, whatever their personal opinion; no issue with people thinking he's not the right appointment but if/when he is given the job every sane Blue will want him to succeed.

It only makes sense because he’s the best of a poor selection who were interested, I’m 100% behind him as I was Benitez Ancelotti Silva ect, I’m not sure how it makes sense, 6 months ago he got 2 votes when we were all given 5 votes to spread around the managers in the poll, one was mine as my first choice and can’t remember the other person or whether it was his 1st or 5th choice, so what has he done in the last 6 months to make him now the number 1 choice that makes sense.

Believe me this is a great appointment and if Ferguson is gone it’s even better. Fresh first team coaching staff! Lampard won’t take no shit off the board.

But they still weren’t behind him Mike no matter how you dress it up, you’ve been an Everton supporter as nearly as long as me and this has been the worst 6-7 years I’ve endured as an Evertonian, we go on about Mike Walker as much as that was bad I never felt as depressed as I do now being an Everton supporter, I think we are for ever destined to have a split in the fan base when comes to managers whether there good or bad, getting behind the manager isn’t considered as a requisite of being a team supporter anymore, to many are full of their own shit to not back the manager and put their personal grievances to one side, and that’s why Lampard isn’t and won’t get full backing.

Popular Post Newty82 Posted January 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I don't think Lampard is the best of a bad bunch. I think that is doing him a disservice. I'd be happy with him. We're not a club that deserves a top manager. Simple as. Lampard will have hunger. He'll want to prove a point. He's young and up for it. I'd feel good again with Lampard. Let's get behind him and the team. Put the banners away. Let's pull away from a very real relegation threat. Then, please, some fuckin stability and normality. Thank you please.

Popular Post Cornish Steve Posted January 28, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'm quite pleased about this. If Lampard is insisting on control of first team staff, he's already standing up for himself. It's right that Ferguson must go - and I hope he soon gets the chance to manage his own team in one of the lower leagues. Here's hoping Lampard has already insisted on one or two specific players for this transfer window. Also encouraged will be our youngsters, who will no longer be ignored. Very disappointed will be Rondon and the other deadwood on our team. Onward and upward. StevO, Matt, Romey 1878 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornish Steve Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Let me hold up my hand and admit that I was NEVER behind the appointment of Benitez - not because he formerly managed the Reds but because he's simply not a good manager. Many times I reiterated his three primary faults, and I stand by that assessment. Early in the season, I know some were frustrated that I gave no praise (except to express surprise that we were not hyper-defensive), but that's because our early games were against teams we're expected to beat - and struggled even then. There's not one game this whole season - in league or cup - where I can genuinely say we dominated: So far, we haven't. As we embark on this new era - assuming Lampard does indeed sign - I am fully behind the new manager. He's the right man for the job, will bring a more attractive and successful style of play, and we will avoid relegation: just. He has a lot to prove, and I predict that he'll throw his all into the role. Our players will see that and respond. Let's hope our owners give him the authority he needs over all important decisions to be made in the coming days. I'm confident, though, that Moshiri will back off the moment we become successful. It's in his financial interests to do so. nyblue23 and StevO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoof_It_Nev Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 If Duncan goes, is there anyone left in the club they knows the players? It does seem like we need a clearout and a rebuild, but who's actually left in terms of knowledge of the players? Who is going to be Lampard's advisor on the players knowing that we need to turn things around ASAP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
