I just heard about it, but dont know so much about it, do you? Apparently they fired the everton manager after the defeat by west ham, is it just down to that or is there something more to it?

Terrible results, even worse football.

He’s not a manager, he’s been found out pretty quickly.

Everton are second from bottom in the premier league, and only not last due to goal difference.

FL has been manager for just under a year and they continue to struggle.

Yes, it is harder to be a manager, at least he did try it.

Yeah it's just because of the West Ham game. Nothing to do with all the other defeats including 4 on the bounce at home and the fact they are almost bottom of the table.

Play off Final with Derby.

Top four and Cup Final with Chelsea despite transfer ban.

Kept Everton up last season.

Then had his best player sold and net spend of just £10m.

Good man and a decent manager at a basket case of a club.

The problem at Everton is not the manager. It's the transfer strategy and the way the club is run.

They only stayed up last season because of Richardson's goals, so what did they do in the summer? They sold him. Because they had to, otherwise they'd have failed Financial Fair Play and been find and docked points. And they replaced him with a striker who has a consistent history of not scoring very many. Whoever made that decision, be it the board or the recruitment team, needs to look in the mirror very carefully.

A few years ago they bought 4 attacking midfielders in the same summer transfer window, all of who played in the same position; none of them are still at the club now. 18 months ago they signed a couple of free transfers and that's it.

Lampard isn't the greatest manager in the world....but the problems at that club go way deeper than just the manager

To be fair to Rooney, in his first season he kept Derby up despite making no signings and having no money to spend on players. In his second season, he very nearly kept them up again even after having 20-odd points deducted.

He knows the club inside out and has a track record of getting the best out of less talented players without spending money. They could do a lot worse than get him on board

Big Frank and Stevie G. One should have stayed at Derby to get experience in the toughest league in the world. The other should have stayed at Rangers to earn and learn managing a big club in a poor league, where he could make mistakes.

He was dealt a dreadful hand, which he played poorly. Baffling decision to leave it this late,a week to go in January and on top of that, the profiles of the managers being linked couldn't be more different. Better managers available but there are a lot of players in that squad that aren't up to it, worse there's serious discontent in the squad. If anyone pulls this around, they'll be up for manager of the season.

I’m assuming as you don’t know much about it, that you don’t follow football?

Frank Lampard is a shocking manager, he failed with Derby, he failed with Chelsea, dropping them both lower in the table than what they were when he took over them. He’s also taken Everton from 16th to 19th …. Not looking like they’re getting any better, their form has been poor to say the least, and they’re now in a relegation battle, which I personally, think is too much, for a relatively inexperienced manager, to handle.

It’ll be interesting to see who they get to take over!

So what is "enough" to manage someone like Everton then? Everton are not a big club anymore, they've run themselves in to the dirt through years of being horribly run. In their current state they're not going to attract a top class manager.

As for track records....Keegan had no management experience when he took over Newcastle. Zidane had none at first team level when he took over Real and won 3 Champions Leagues. Guardiola had none at first team level when to turned Barca into one of the best clubs sides ever seen. Rooney has cut his teeth at a lower level already and has far more of a track record than any of those did

Sorry, the exceptions dont prove the rule.

What other PL club in danger would hire rooney now? None.

So everton would be hiring him on the basis of nothing other than familiarity

He may turn out to be a good manager in time, but everton can risk that now purely on sentiment

He’s shite, just like Lampard. Doing well in Scotland means nothing - Neil Lennon even managed that.

They got big jobs because of their names and who they played for. Really unfair on good up and coming managers who work their way through the lower leagues. And yet Lampard and Gerrard will continue to get big jobs, and fail.

Whilst his results could only lead to his sacking the problem is far more deep routed. Rafael Benitez, Carlo Ancelotti, Marco Silva, Ronald Koeman have all failed at Everton some of them have won the Champions League. When managers of the quality of those fail then you have to look at other reasons than just the manager.

It's interesting that the Everton supporters were not calling for the sacking of Lampard but directing their ire at he board. The club is a mess and needs to be relegated to perhaps enable it to start to turn things around.

Not where we seem to be...

Sack the manager, hire a new one who brings in new players and a different style of play.

Rinse and repeat.

One of Lampards recent teams had players bought by 5 different managers, another game had 6 players bought by preceeding managers.

They've sacked much better managers for exactly the same reason, a lack of success.

Who in their right mind would want the job now, second bottom, no money to spend and a Heinz 57 of a squad.

Boardroom shambles doesn't begin to describe it.

"Interesting that Gerrard and Lampard have both turned into poor managers after both being excellent players

Im not quite sure thats fair on gerrard yet.

He did very well with rangers, started well with villa but went off the boil.

I would reserve judgement on him for a while yet, at least until we see how he fares in his next role

He’s shite, just like Lampard. Doing well in Scotland means nothing - Neil Lennon even managed that.

They got big jobs because of their names and who they played for. Really unfair on good up and coming managers who work their way through the lower leagues. And yet Lampard and Gerrard will continue to get big jobs, and fail. "

Most managers do fail. There are only 4 league winners a year and an fa Cup a year.

Many of the top managers were pretty average players. Ferguson, Wenger, even Pep. Clough is one of the few exceptions. "

Mourinho, wenger.. Ancelotti, ranieri...

The only players in that Everton team that are not his signings are Pickford and Lewin. I believe all the rest are his signings?

Great player .. absolutely... but as a manager very very poor , that's 3 clubs where he didn't cut it , the sad thing is the Manager will always get sacked before any player , that's football, he should just forget about football now and enjoy life ...why should any man put up with the humouring or drama a player brings ... enjoy life Frank ..you don't owe the game anything.

Realistically after struggling last season, what should Everton fans expect this season? After signing some players some Everton fans thought we could take on the world!

Lampard wasn’t the right man for the job, but I don’t think is entirely at fault for the current position of the club.

What is that now, 5 managers in 6 years? The problem clearly isn’t the manager.

I feel like Lampard tried to run before he could walk. Got his coaching badges and immediately took charge of Derby County and ditched them the second the dream option of Chelsea appeared. He failed at Chelsea and now he has failed at Everton.

Maybe a stint as an assistant manager or in to the lower leagues might help him out in future.

We would have him at Oldham.

Another case of a manager being made sacrificial lamb because the squad have too much power. I doubt any manager coming in will be able to change that. The squad arent playing for the team

Carragher said it best when he said they are basically the worst run club in England… it’s a shambles!!

There’s is no coherent plan… the owners don’t have a clue!!!

No worries. Can't see them winning another game. Players have been a disgrace.

About 3 feet away from the fence

Everton have been living off their reputation of glories past for well over 30 years.

They haven't learned that you actually can stop being a big club, like what happened to Leeds, Nottingham Forest, and to a lesser extent Aston Villa.

They still believe they're at least a Tottenham Hotspur-level club, despite being vastly off the pace of even a club like Spurs for the last 20 years.

Building a new stadium doesn't guarantee elite status, just ask Sunderland.

I think they're due a relegation, and perhaps need it to happen to refocus who they are as a club. They've had it written all over them, much like Villa's final few seasons before they finally dropped down a few years ago. A rebuild in the Championship for a season or two might do them some good.
