There is news that Steve Cooper and Frank Lampard are on our shortlist. Not sure who I would choose but based on the selection of VK it would look that Lampard would be the clubs choice. Someone who has a high profile with influence. Problem is if he is successful then would he be like VK and go after a short time?
No chance IMHO. :blue:
We cannot afford another high risk appointment.
Gotta agree, not sure either. Lampard probably has the a higher profile in the game. Although he had a record of falling out with players while at Chelsea. So much so that Petr Cech had to act as an intermediary.
Of all the names that are available. Think I’d be looking at Moyes or Potter. Whether they are interested or not is another matter.
The issue I have with some of the other names such as Rosenior, Rohl etc. Is that in the wider game, there nobody’s really. If we’re being honest.
I have absolutely no idea why we don't get this guy on a plane to Manchester right now.Quote:

I’d take cooper over Lampard every day of the week as he doesn’t have the player profile like Lampard and VK had - just think Cooper will look at what he has and what we need whereas the players Lampard will want will be too expensive or loans again.Quote:

In season 2023/24 the wheel fell off and we saw possibly the worst team performance Burnley FC have ever offered in the top division.
Choosing to appoint Lampard would probably be the board choice as he like Kompany as a recognisable name within the football community, but in all his time as a manager he does not appear to have done any remarkable achievements.
Cooper as a reasonable record managing the England under 16 and under 17, and again managing Swansea City, but the wheel appeared to come off when managing Nottingham Forest in the premier league.
BT is pushing Stephen Defour, but his record managing Mechelen is rather average. However he was a brilliant player for Burnley when he was fit enough to play.
If however, the board have the required finance and motivation for a really big footballing legend, then of the out of work managers there is one head and shoulders above the rest, a Frenchman renowned for having a brilliant heading ability especially against the Italians. However, that would be a pipe dream even to great for Alan Pace to pull off.
Cooper before Lampard any day. Good team spirit is essential. I haven't seen a lot of Rosenior but I liked what I saw.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Not Lampard
