Everton boss Lampard urged to pick Moyes brain for Blues success
Everton boss Frank Lampard has been urged to speak to David Moyes to help him with the task of managing the Toffees.
The former Chelsea boss admitted he didn’t want to talk to any previous Blues managers to avoid any biased influences going into Finch Farm.
Phil Kirkbride urged Lampard to speak to someone who enjoyed success at Goodison Park rather than misfortune.
“It wouldn’t be a bad idea, either, to talk to Benitez. Or to Marco Silva or to Sam Allardyce or even to Ronald Koeman. They know too well what it’s like to manage in the Everton pressure-cooker and not come out in one piece.” Kirkbride said in the ECHO.
“But there’s a different manager who he should be aiming to speak to first, and above all of those others mention.
“Frank, don’t call Carlo – phone David Moyes.
“The new Everton manager used his first press conference as boss, this week, to talk about how he remembered the great Blues’ sides of the 80s but when asked about how he wants his team to play, it was from the modern era where he’s taking his inspiration. From the days when he faced Everton as a player.
“And the bulk of that time was up against Moyes’ Blues.”
Phone him
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to talk to the most and only successful Everton manager in recent years.
Lampard can learn a million things not to do by speaking to the long list of managers sacked by the club but what he really wants to know is what might bring him success and Moyes would be the perfect man to speak to.
He was a force to be reckoned with during his time managing the Blues, but his name was tarnished when he left the club and was sacked by Manchester United and Real Sociedad respectively.
His name was dragged through the mud further with a resignation after getting Sunderland relegated.
However, Moyes has reignited his career showing many of the signs he did during the early 2000s at Everton now for West Ham.
His second spell at the club has seen Moyes return to the highly competitive manager that the Toffees knew him for.
Lampard would benefit a great deal from picking the ear of the Hammers boss as he managed in the era the fans are so desperate to return to.
