What will make Lampard leave? (10 Viewers)

[Martw]

He has to stay! It's like defending a title.. you can't just win something and then walk away. Win it defend it and you're a proper champ!!

He might say I’ve done my job and so off to the next challenge? I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself with JH leaving after getting us promoted to the top flight

Though to be fair we did manage to stay up for 35 years after JH left!

But that's not completing the job.. Nico Rosberg didn't have the courage to stick around and defend his title.. didn't want to lose.. not defending his title was cowardly.. I think Lampard will relish the challenge...

Bournemouth job aside (which would probably ideal as the next stepping stone (established PL side/location/less fan pressure), I think it would have to be a settled mid table team. I don't think the big teams will risk their CL ambitions until he's established himself in the PL/ If we stay up, then all bets are off.

Except it isn't really (Bournemouth) IMO.

I don’t see any of the potential vacancies going for him imo

Challenges and manager security is very different today

Landscape is totally different now. The old First Division was more like The Championship.

But we have to give it a go, without jeapordising the club. Personally I prefer watching Championship football to Premier League. Yes standard is way higher, but not sure entertainment is? I know some referees are poor, but VAR seems to compound it rather than improve it. Also it sucks the spontaneous drama out of the sport. 6 minutes to decide something is clear and obvious????

Frank will leave if he has a big offer from a bigger club. BUT I caution that decision as he has been there before and the pressure without sucess will rear it's head again. Far better he learns to consolidate Coventry as a premiership club, make an impression and see how his backroom staff measure up to it. If all goes well only then will he have a decision to make.

He is more experienced now and realizes the importance of his own due diligence, squad, finances, staff, boardroom. He said when he joined us he had learned a lot and perhaps some of previous posts had not been right for him.

Let's be honest if results over the first 8 games are poor plenty of fans will be calling for the sack. It won't be me but plenty will. Loyalty is a two way street but football is a one way street relative success or flip another coin.

He’s got over his salad days then?

Here's a bit I've just found, give a few minutes and he'll get embarrassed by a song

 

[SkyBluePower]

Derby fans will of course drone on about how he waited until July to move on to Chelsea and left them without any planning for the new season.
Very different scenario - got his dream appointment and left a club still in the Championship with dark clouds looming over finances.

 

[Offhegoes]

If he leaves for a relegated Spurs, can you imagine the pressure he'll be under at Tottenham. Their fans would want total dominance of the Championship and playing a certain way. Add to that he won't be a popular choice being an ex Chelsea man.
Even if he achieves that, the pressure won't subside when he's in the Premier League. A slow start to the 27/28 season and he's fired.
