Frank Lampard sack news as change accepted, players stay away from Finch Farm
Frank Lampard is waiting to hear if he has been sacked today as Everton prepare their search for a new manager, according to the Daily Mail Jan 23, pg. 7.
Lampard and the Blues lost yet again at the weekend against West Ham United in what was a must-win clash for the former Chelsea boss.
The report claims that Lampard spoke with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright over the weekend and has accepted things will change.
“Frank Lampard is waiting to hear he has been sacked as Everton prepare to begin the process of another new manager search,” as quoted by the Daily Mail Jan 23, pg. 7.
“Lampard spoke with owner Frahas Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright over the weekend, along with director of football Kevin Thelwell, and has accepted things will change after Saturday’s 2-0 defeat at West Ham.
“Everton players have been given time off and are not due to return to their Finch Farm training complex until tomorrow afternoon though it remains to be seen who will oversee the planned session, if as expected, Lampard and his staff are jettisoned.”
Over and out.
Change is needed at Goodison Park and unfortunately, that means Lampard must now leave the club after the team’s woeful run of results.
The team are sliding badly and sleepwalking towards relegation to the Championship and as much as fans want things to work for Lampard, the writing is now on the wall.
Managers have lost their jobs in far better circumstances than this one and ultimately making a big call on Lampard is the route to go down here.
It’s easy to point the finger at the Englishman but the players simply aren’t turning up for him anymore and his stale and weak tactics have become predictable.
Whoever is lined up to replace Lampard will have a major job on their hands and would have to hit the ground running instantly to change the Toffees’ fate.
Steadying the sinking ship and a Premier League-proven manager may be the best route to go down for Everton, the less risks taken the better at this point in time.
