Sack potter get lampard, give me a fucking break.

I have no words, if Frank hadn't been at Everton, I could possibly rationalise this in my head but we can kiss goodbye to the CL.

My first thought was honestly "poor Enzo", if we don't get the summer managerial post correct then I can see him pushing for a move, rightfully, criminal to waste that talent.

Watch us extend Mount and let Felix go back to Atletico.

You can bet his biggest agenda next 7 and a half weeks will be to put Mount back on football map. If people in club are that stupid to listen to him we will not only extend him but buy Rice and bring back Abraham. 

[YorkshireBlue 3,122]

Lampard back already, what a fucking joke, let's switch out a turd for a turd and actually spend money doing it!!!!!!?? Bravo 

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

His team probably will be:

                 Mendy

James Fofana Silva Chilwell 

                  Enzo 

         Gallagher Mount 

 Sterling    Auba    Pulisic

I mean I get why they decided to hire Lampard on short term before getting a new manager. Look at how much Potter probably cost us with the hire and fire, they probably don't want to make a rash decision. At the end of the day it is a business and they have to be smart about spending so much on managerial appointments, they don't want to make the same mistake twice. Hopefully they can make the best decision with the directors in place.

As for the CL this season, well we have a history of winning it with an interim ex Chelsea player... you just never know, football is weird sometimes.

Whilst I'm lukewarm on Lamps returning, I do think there are a couple of key considerations amongst this decision which perhaps make it less shambolic than it looks on paper.

The first is it's reported that Bruno doesn't want to stay here as the interim manager, he has agreed to it being under contract but he wants to leave and essentially is no different a voice to that of Potter. I believe he remained on out of respect to the club for the Liverpool game just to buy some time but not as a longer term option to the end of the season. 

The second is just look back through this forum. I don't think there's a truly obvious candidate at present. I think there's a couple of strong candidates in Nagelsmann and Enrique, and perhaps others too, but I think the board are completely in the right not to rush this decision on the basis of salvaging something from this season. They made a huge mistake by appointing Potter so quickly after dismissing Tuchel and not really considering other options properly. They won't want to make this mistake again. Making the right appointment for next season in my opinion is more important than this season's Champions League. 

With both of the above, you're left with an interim option and on top of that left in a position of who would be willing to take it. The situation isn't ideal, but the next appointment should not be rushed, it's vital we get it right and back on track next season.

There's 2 options and both want to come. Just pick one now. We won't be in the champions league again at this rate the way boehly is running things, need to go for it now. That was allegedly his rationale for sacking potter 

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

You have 10 days contracts in NBA. We should do this. Change interim manager every game. Whoever wins a game stays. 

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

On a serious note both Enrique and Lampard prefer 433 with classical DM and number 9. Maybe that's why they moved for him assuming Luis doesn't want to come before next season. To make transition smoother.

There are conflicting reports in both cases whether they'd be prepared to join now or would want to join in the summer for starters. 

And who's to say that until meetings and due diligence has been conducted, that a better fit isn't available than both. I think the board are completely correct to take their time here.

[NikkiCFC 7,942]

Would Jokanovic accept interim role? Ex Chelsea player, better CV then Lamps. Promoted 2 teams to PL.

If this lunatic returns then I'm done.

they hired potter. I don't want them taking their time to explored more "alternative" options

Shhhhh. Embrace it in your heart, Tomo.

Agreed it would be mental move but still way more sense than Lampard. 

[Gundalf 804]

Good to see that every candidate only wants to join in the summer and not now. No point in appointing them now. Even the candidates themselfs seems to follow that.
