Rio Ferdinand on Scholes, Lampard, Gerrard Debate (Obi-Wan Podcast) :

"The one I enjoyed playing most with was Scholes. He could dictate a game, he could decide a game, and he got other people playing better. He was a genius, but if I was a manager for a season, i'm picking Lampard."

Seems Lamps has been appointed Coventry coach - wish him all the best.

Hope he does well there and kicks-on again. If he fails, that will probably be his last appointment. Looks like Adi Viveash has left Coventry which is a shame as he's always done so well with the youngsters. I expect Joe Edwards will join Lamps.

Strange, I always thought Lampard would go to the top in management. Very intellectual, knows the game, appears to be well liked. 
 

Suppose it shows just how elite top football actually is. There’s something that marks elite managers out from good/average managers. I’m not entirely sure what it is but there’s something different.

I think him taking the Chelsea job so early didn't help. 

Had a good first season at Chelsea, but the job was clearly too big for him, the signs were all there. Once he was at Chelsea it's hard to dip back down into the lower leagues again, I saw the Everton sacking coming a mile off, he's just not ready for those jobs. 

 
Hope it goes well for him. I would love to see Frank succeed in management.

 
If it doesn't work out for him this time around we should 100% look to bring him back into the club in some capacity.

Something similar to what Cech used to do with us. Clearly a very intelligent bloke and some of the players he's identified in the past have gone on to have ridiculous trajectories. Elite talent ID.

This bit...He's still early into his career but I agree. A lot of work/experirnce needed to be done to become elite. I just hope he understands its different front being a player. He needs to soak up knowledge and not think or act like he's the finished article yet.

I think it's called having elite players who can stay fit !

That, and taking a job when a club is on the up, and the rivals are in decline. Good timing basically ...

As @Sexyfootball said, the most important thing by far to become elite manager is to have elite player because the gap between elite manager to good manager is so much smaller compare to elite player vs good player

At no point did I think he would go to the top and the fact he is still getting jobs is a mystery.

 
I am interested to see how well he does at Coventry, for me the verdict is still out on his abilities as a manager.

I'd love to be wrong but I think he should have held his hands up like Neville did.

His whole selling point back at Derby and the early Chelsea time was that he'll grow and stop making constant rookie mistakes but if anything he's making more.

1. Details on individuals, working on skills and what they need to do to help win matches.

2. Treating players as individuals, convincing the less important players that the better players can get away with things that they cannot.

3. Obviously having good game plans, along with good players, if Guardiola or Slot or Maresca were managing C Palace this season they still wouldn't be challenging for the title. Would Swansea be challenging for the Championship title if Maresca was the manager over here? Probably not. So good players are essential.
