And in his one season of managerial experience Lampard got the 6th best team in the Championship to ehhhh sixth in the ehhh Championship.
It's a fair point but by that barometer Jurgen Klopp hasn't improved on his predecessor either! In fact I can't think of many PL managers who have managed it in recent years.
True, but I just can't get my head round how doing as well as expected at a Championship team qualifies you for one of the biggest jobs in England. Being a great player/club legend has **** all relevance to your ability to manage. Using my favourite analgy who would you rather performed a brain operation on you, a trained surgeon or your mate Dave who has had a couple of lobotomies? Sure, Dave knows all about HAVING brain operations, but he knows FA about how to perform one...
On the note of people who need lobotomised.....

Reports today that Man Utd are willing to pay Pogba £500,000 a week to keep him! Crazy.
.....Whoever at Utd thinks it's a good idea to keep Pogba around,never mind give him a massive pay rise, should be at the front of the queue. It's also probably best for society that they don't bred.
Pogba has been a massive disappointment at Utd, he has rarely (and I'm being generous) looked like a 90m player. I can't think of many games where he has stood out. He had a "good" run of form after Jose left, but that can be put down to the easy games, the general euphoria that Jose had ****ed off, and fact Pogba takes penalties. For one of the supposed "best" players in the world he has had A LOT more anonymous games than good ones. Then we come to his recent comments about wanting to move. Granted that could be to try and get a new contract but he has been flirting with Real and Juve for a year now. He's more concerned about his image and his instagram following than football. Fergy was right to let him go. Utd were daft to resign him especially for 90m, and will be even dafter if they give him a new contract.
Not sure how the rest of the players will take it either. If i was DDG. Who has 1 or 2 years left on his contract, I would just walk in and point out how many times I had carried Utd and how few Pogba has and demand 600k or more.
