Lampard also took Tomori, Mount and the coaching staff with him. Derby's top scorer Wilson was on loan from Liverpool during Lampard's season. These are massive things that made a difference and contributed to Derby's downfall the following season.

How can Derby rebuild from that when your top players leave and you don't bring in proper replacements? Of course the only way is down.

But yeah, let's ignore those because ahem, "Super Frank".

Tomori, Mount and Wilson were only loan signings and considering Derby were able to make 8 signings in that summer that Lampard left them, then isn't it their issue that they couldn't find anyone decent to do a good job for them? Plus, they hired Phillip Cocu, who has more experiences as a manager than Lampard, to replace him and yet, he couldn't quite manage a play-off place finish.

Also, we should know better than most that just because good signings are made, it doesn't necessarily they will be good unless the manager knows how to make good use of them at least. Lampard certainly did that with Mount, Wilson etc in that season and mind you, Wilson hasn't come close to replicating the numbers he had at Derby since then.

Only you could try and pass off good recruitment as a bad thing.

The bolded bit is hilarious btw given you gave Lampard no leeway for losing Eden Hazard (not to mention Kante was injury stricken for half the season).

Hope Frank does well at Everton. I don't mind Everton as a club either (maybe it's my hatred of Liverpool)

I think this season could be a struggle but if he can keep them from getting dragged further into a relegation battle and settle the squad this season I think he has a really good opportunity to build on from next season.

Will be interested to see if he's learned some of the lessons of mistakes made here.

Dont do it Frank ! Good luck if you do, you’ll need it with that squad.

Unless he's homesick or Frank is offering him higher status (like direct assistant) it wouldn't make sense for Barry to do this so hopefully he declines.

Brace for constant stream of loses and draws, unless of course they play Chelsea, play for their lives and we loose points, obviously, lol

His job is not to keep them in the league but to finish top half on table. Everton have squad on paper for that.

Anthony Barry expected to stay now, according to Matt Law.

Part of me was really hoping Frank went back down to a Championship club and worked his way back up eventually to another PL job. Everton is in such a rotten state and needs such a big rebuild that I can see him struggling to make it work there. And if he fails at another big club it could forever taint his career prospects. He may never get a shot at a top club again.

Not to mention I fucking hate Everton who have raised their game against us to a seemingly impossible degree when they’ve been in a moment of crisis the last 2 times. 😒 Scouse bastards.
