But who were these players who didn’t get on with Lampard?

Well according to pundit Danny Murphy, via Chris from the Fulham Broadway’s Finest podcast, Mateo Kovačić and Antonio Rudiger.

Murphy was on talkSPORT on Monday morning after Lampard’s sacking and claimed: “A source told me that Rudiger & Kovacic went directly to the board to talk about Lampard.”

would not be the worst for him. Does not need to worry about club structures or new signings being imposed for him and has a vast pool of talent to pick from. I still think there is a very good coach in him. His judgement of players and overall strategic vision was spot on in my opinion he just could not implement it tactically. Maybe if given time and players who are still young and unbiased he will have it easier.

Would be an improvement on Boothroyd but to be honest he has been stealing a living in that job for years. For the players they have, the u21s play absolutely brutal football at times.

Seen in the article “Lampard, a more modern coach” as if that means anything meaningful though..... good old British media. He was anything but a modern coach here he seemed more old school in didnt coach shape by the looks of it and just let the players figure it out in the middle and final thirds.

Interesting interview though, was always too big for him this early in his career and I have no doubts he will eventually bounce back. A club like of a Celtic or Rangers would be a good grounding for him. Plenty of expectations, lower standard domestically and budget wise but definitely the sort of place which could make him as a manager. Every game is a cup final for the opposition and also there is European exposure through CL and Europa.

Tried saying that before we got him but many argued because they were desperate to see Sarri out without fully understanding the comprehension of appointing another novice particularly after how Villas-Boas did here, who again like Frank had prior ties to the club albeit different roles and different levels.

The club inevitably didn’t intend in committing to Sarri towards the end despite the fact we were unbeaten in like 17 of the last 20 games and were starting to look a bit better as a team. Lets not pretend their was any chance the board were going to fight to keep him so the club gambled with Frank which resulted in losing another season and a half to make real progress really (although the youngsters are the only positive out of this as well as the signings we made this summer despite their mixed returns).

Heres hoping TT is here for the long haul. And by long hall, I mean over 18 months. Thats the magic number in management now in terms of spells in charge so lets hope he can get a new deal and keeps building on what he’s already done in a short space od time. 

I think he’s the right man and the club should give him a new deal at the end of the season, particularly if he gets a trophy win.

I usually agree that i wouldn't want us to appoint a legend as a manager mainly because they'll have too much pull with the fanbase when things go south as was proved but on this occasion i felt it was worth the shot. With the transfer ban we needed someone a little less selfish with squad building, if Frank turned out to be the next big manager in the process then amazing, if (as it turned out) he couldn't get us back to around the top himself he leaves a top squad for someone that can.

I am surprised a bit he gets another PL job so soon. You can bet he will take some Chelsea players on loan. Conor probably.

His reputation as a player and his nationality will always be in his favor when it comes to getting jobs in the Premier League. 

If his playing style at Derby and here is anything to go by, then it could be a trainwreck at Palace considering they have so many old players there and are seemingly stuck in their pragmatic ways. Could end up like Frank de Boer's tenure.

It may actually work out for him as an underdog. For all his greenness he did overarchieve all in all last season it's when the pressure cranked up he crumbled.

It's weird thinking he may be a plucky underdog type manager given he was the total opposite as a player but still.
