I was going to say of all the ex players to have a dabble at management fat frank is one of the better ones. But then I looked him up, only spent a year at Derby, couple at Coventry. I feel like he can do a job for a certain club in the championship. Not a great record in the premiership, but chelsea and everton were in crisis
>>
>>157716164
all it'll take for him to be considered a top coach is a team like bayern coming in for him like happened with kompany

so much of management is luck

arteta would've got sacked without that FA Cup and now he's the best in the prem because he was backed financially

I don't think Lampard is that sort of coach. He's already had the Chelsea job twice (albeit once as an interim) and failed both times. Kompany just played to his philosophy regardless of results and fucked Burnley over.

first time he was got to an FA Cup final and top 4 with academy kids and a transfer ban

second time he inherited a team full of teens from all over the place who were already shit because of the transfer model and graham potter

I think he's a good coach but I don't know if he has the pull to get the kind of job that suits him

kompany didn't get the bayern job on merit but it worked out because he has a controlling style of play and elite footballers in a farmer's league

Brighton is better due to location to London and ease of travelling from abroad, Gatwick is half hour on the train. There's also more to do on a night out and the people are fairly friendly. Shit beach though, all pebbles.

Lampard’s teams are always too open at the back. Ipswich carved them apart in both games last season and Southampton did too when Eckart took over. Those were the real markers for what the PL teams would do to them.

we have potatoes instead; either sliced or shredded, seasoned and fried in butter or bacon grease. a typical diner breakfast includes meat (bacon, sausage, scrapple* etc), two eggs cooked to order, potatoes, and toast. with a glass of orange juice

>>157716730
Purely for football, Ipswich isn’t too bad. The stadium is in the middle of the town, the train station is about a five minute walk away and there’s plenty of nearby pubs who don’t limit what team can come in. It’s just so isolated that it’s an absolute ball ache to travel to initially.

Its pretty simple, fly into Manchester or Heathrow or Stanstead. It gives you access to major cities, major footballing cities, loads of clubs, they're major international airports, on major railway lines.

Ignore the retard that suggested going to Gatwick and Brighton. Gatwick is a shit airport and Brighton / Bournemouth are shit away games. If you want an ice cream on the beach, surrounded by illegal immigrants and homosexuals you could try it.

Ignore the retard that suggested Ipswich. East Anglia is basically in the middle of nowhere, a weird little outpost full of inbreds. Terrible to get to. If you're going in that direction go Norwich rather than Ipswich.

Very cosy day out, not very footbally though

Find a decent spot with plenty of boozers on the same tube line and get the tube in time for kickoff

Further out and the above doesn't apply so well in my experience
>West Ham
Don't bother unless your bringing binoculars
>Newcastle, Sheffield United
Good because its bang in the centre
>Everton
Not been yet but its in a weird area right by the docks but its not Albert Dock so its not very walkable
>Norwich
Pleasant enough place and walkable from the centre
>Derby
Its in a retail park next to a Matalan. There's nothing to see in Derby
>Lincoln City
Never been but its top of my list at the moment. Should be a good away day.
>York City
Probably the nicest city that has a league club. The old ground was a 15 minute walk from the centre but the current one is a lot further

My craziest hot take is that of all the mid table "step up" managers the prem has seen in the last few years (Iraola, De Zerbi, Frank, Glasner, Silva etc), Hurzeler is probably the best of them but no big team would take a chance on him because he is so young that he would lose the dressing room of any team with expectations so quickly the moment things go south.

impossible to judge managers that go through Brighton or Brentford to be honest as they're both ideal setups for young coaches; established in the league, well run and backed financially under relatively low pressure. It's easy to look like a genius under those circumstances.
