I was weary of Lampard 2.0, but I do think you need to protect the next manager a little at the end of a dreadful season. If they came in with no time to implement their playing style and tactics and were just scrambling to get in practice for games, it could look worse. As it is now, Lampard will take the heat, and a new manager will have a chance to put together a squad playing his style of football with a fan base eager to see it instead of being cautious after a failed last 11 games to end the season.
