No Lampard talks over Norwich job

No Lampard talks over Norwich job

8th November 2021 By Samuel Seaman 16 Comments

Frank Lampard has not opened talks with Norwich City over their vacant head coach role, MyFootballWriter understands, contrary to some reports.

The former Chelsea boss has been linked with a move to Carrow Road after previous head coach Daniel Farke was sacked on Saturday night, but reports claiming that Lampard has already engaged in discussions with City are wide of the mark.

The Canaries are looking to replace Farke quickly, and expect to have a new head coach in place with time to prepare for their next fixture, at home against Southampton on 20 November.

The timing of the German’s dismissal was intended to allow for time to commence City’s new manager search, with this week’s international break providing some respite from the relentless Premier League schedule.

Upon Farke’s departure, sporting director Stuart Webber said: “We feel that now is the right time for a change to give ourselves the best opportunity of retaining our Premier League status. It’s important that we now look forward.

“We have 27 league games remaining and a long way to go in the current season. We know we have the ability within our playing squad and staff to start picking up points and climbing the league table.”

Norwich have also been linked with moves for the likes of Lucien Favre, Luis Boa Morte and soon-to-be Newcastle boss Eddie Howe, while momentum has been gathering for the theory that Bodo/Glimt manager Kjetil Knutsen could move to NR1 after the Norwegian surged ahead in the betting odds.

      Why? He has both Premier League & Championship experience (unlike many of the European unknowns we’re linked with who would take 6 months to adapt), he plays possession based football with a bit more attacking bias (no more endless passing across the back 4) and he has consistently played and developed young players. What’s not to like? If it’s because he’s a bit too full of himself and media friendly then just get over yourself!

        He achieved little to nothing at Derby and nothing of note with a very sizeable (yes some youth was brought through but with more than a shovel full of experience) squad of talent at Chelski. When he had money and players brought in, he got the sack. Awesome player, average at best manager to date.

        He took Derby with a team including Mason Mount to no higher than mid table. He took a Chelsea team littered with unbelievable talent to no higher than mid table. It’s not hard to see the obvious

          So who is the “obvious” candidate with a better Premiership and Championship record then? Dean Smith, I’m ok with that.

            I’d rather have someone unproven than someone who has proven they aren’t capable

    AU sports said yesterday during interview for another Prem game that Knutsen will be in place by Tuesday. the reporter was very sure. Now Michael Baily has said that the list is down to two. With neither being contacted until sunday. contary to what AU strongly believe

    Would we want Fat Frank NO to that question.

    Dean Smith could be an option but not sure he would want to dive straight back in and could wait for a club higher in the league.

    SW will have a full in-tray and voice mail from agents pushing their clients but I think it is nearly done and dusted and it will an unexpected name.

    I’ve only got three ‘mind’s eye’ candidates Samuel … Knutsen, Favre, or Nuno.

    Don’t want Warnock, Allardyce, Smith, Lampard, et als! All good men no doubt, but not here.

    Don’t even want Neil Adams – who settled for one point at Stamford Bridge thus underwriting our relegation a few seasons ago.

    Daniel Farke was a very successful recruit, completely left field choice from Webber’s thorough investigations, never saw him coming, and look what he created before our very eyes!

    I’m sure Webber will pick another top dog for us, who will motivate the players, to enthral the fans, and bring home Prem survival!.

    Carrow Road rockin’ again please!

    COYY !!

      But Farke was recruited when we were “stabilising” in the Championship and so was able to take a whole season to assess the team and rebuild (remember we finished 14th!). It’s very different now and we don’t have time for a “surprise package” to learn the ropes like Farke did (unless you’ve given up on this season already?). Everyone seems to have this romantic idea that an unknown manager from Europe can come in and rescue us, get real folks, this is no fairy story!

        I list three managers, Favre and Nuno are not unknowns – Knutsen is well endorsed.

          I’m sure all of them would do a great job of rebuilding us in the Championship but none have the experience needed to keep us up!

            You’re talking crap, Lamps was a great player, is an indifferent manager, he was bereft of ideas at Chelsea.

            Relegation dogfights are not the place to be an apprentice-manager.

            In football, aspire to be, and buy, the best you can get.

    There seems to be a lot of copy and paste with the same old names every time a manager position becomes available….

      Ok, but going with a new, inexperienced coach is high risk IF your aim is to stay up this season. If you’ve already given up on that (which Webber says he hasn’t) then fair enough, let’s find another Farke and start with something fresh and rebuild!
