Frank Lampard has more in common with Farhad Moshiri than he realises after major Everton claim
A year on from his sacking, Frank Lampard admitted he wasn’t sure what Farhad Moshiri’s strategy was at the club but then those who watched his Everton side might say the same about the former Blues boss.
Lampard made the claim during a cosy chat with pals Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright, Roy Keane and Jill Scott on The Overlap Stick to Football podcast. It was an all-star cast no doubt – all present were international footballers during their playing days, none more so than Lampard himself who was the most-prolific midfielder in Premier League history and a modern day legend in the centre of the park – but great players don’t always make great managers as those sat around the table bold enough to stick their heads on the block have found out to the cost of their reputations.
Polished as always, Lampard, one of the most-intelligent men in football – few others in the game can boast a dozen GCSEs at A or A* including an A in Latin – or get close to his reputed IQ of “well above 150” according to a test conducted by Dr Bryan English on the entire Chelsea squad, came across as typically articulate when it came to recounting his time in the home dugout at Goodison Park. But as smart as he is, the 45-year-old, who was assisted by a brains trust of backroom staff including Joe Edwards, Paul Clement, Chris Jones and Ashley Cole during his time at Everton, could not turn around the club’s ailing fortunes.
