If you'd asked me when they were playing, who'd eventually be the better manager out of Steven Gerrard & Frank Lampard, I'd have said Lampard every time. It's obviously different levels, but as someone above said, Lampard seems destined for a Tim Sherwood-esque management career. Gerrard seems to have a bit about him.

Allegri should be the replacement. Tuchel is just going to have the English media on his back from day 1 for replacing Oor Frank. Has a bit of an AVB vibe IMO.

Michael Beale is the man doing most of the good work at Rangers. What Gerrard has done is surround himself with a very good backroom team.

Not that Harry is bitter his nephew has been sacked or anything [emoji1787]
Not another Johnny Foreigner coming to take the job of a good football man in the #Barclays!?

Would probably rather they picked up the phone to Tim Sherwood, or drafted in Big Sam/Colin w****r

Delicious.

What next for Lampard ?? Return to the Championship probably.

 

He's probably been sacked early enough for him to claim that it was an unfair sacking and that he would have turned it around, and the media will certainly help him push this narrative. So his reputation (as much as he had one as a manager) probably hasn't been affected too much. Therefore I think there's an outside chance of a Premier League gig if he wants it, but I think going for a bottom half Premier League job wouldn't end well for him. He'd maybe be better off picking a good Championship side again and trying to get them promoted. He did well with Derby because he was able to use contacts to get good loanees which he'd be able to do again, and I reckon he'll be an attractive option for any of those Championship sides looking to go up.

In the long term his problem is that he's such a 'Chelsea man' that you can't ever really see him managing a top club in England again, no matter how well he does at any club he can't ever manage Man Utd, Arsenal, Spurs or Liverpool. With the Chelsea job no longer an ambition you wonder if that might impact his decision to stay in management. He seems a pretty smart guy and would imagine he would make a good living from punditry or any other role involved in football.

TBF,  surrounding yourself with the right staff and using them correctly is a vital part of being a successful manager.

Frank Lampard wasn't helped by the failure of Werner and Havertz to show anything resembling a bit of form.

Havertz will probably look better in a side that isn't build around Mason fucking Mount.

Absolutely.

Gerrard is in competition with Neil Lennon (as unprofessional as they come) and backroom teams who's club pay them collectively less than Gary McAllister.

Aye fair.  He may well get a job down south due to his pedigree as a player,  but without European success any decent interviewer will be questioning if he would achieve success at rangers without Celtic being a total shambles.

He's spot on, tbf. 

He managed to finally get them to a Champions League final, that’s not nothing, even with a decent team.

eta - I think Celtic are showing what happens to teams who are miles ahead of the rest of the league when they have a shit manager 🤣
