Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted June 27, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 27, 2017 Must be ace knowing that if you're a good player you've got at least 2-3 shots at management in the Football League without having to bother with qualifications or knowing anything about coaching.

Subscriber Dan+ Posted June 27, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted June 27, 2017 Unsure on his credentials in terms of management but at least he's not gone out demanding a Premier League job like some do. Oxford have been a club on the rise but it may have hit a glass ceiling, been doing a bit of reading about it following our Appleton appointment and it sounds like for all they've done very well in the last few years, things aren't all that rosy there anymore.

A lot of players start or complete qualifications towards the end of their playing careers. I don't know Lampard's situation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Regardless whether he has the badges. He, and every other ex player should work from the bottom up. I don't care if you're Gerrard, Scholes or Ferdinand...i wouldn't hire you as first team manager in your very first job. At most you would get a coaching role for starters. These ex pros should have to prove themselves more. Giggs for example, given the caretaker job at Utd for shiting time, and is now linked with every open job going, he's proved fuck all.

Bluewolf Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I believe he has his UEFA B coaching licence already Would be interesting to see how things panned out for him if he was to take a role of some kind somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Blue Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Like dad said i also think he has the Uefa B licence, so he isn't without experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a world of difference between the Theory and the Practical... I meant relevant education, still the Uefa B licence is only for amateur clubs and assistant coaches for pro clubs.

Honey Honey Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Coaching badges are just a money making scam by UEFA. Someone who has spent 2 decades in the game doesn't need to go to school to learn how to put cones out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the coaching badges, but at the same time spending 2 decades in the game doesn't automatically make you a good coach/manager.

Toony Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I like Lampard so would quite like to see this happen. Always interesting to see how it works out when top players go into management, a few go onto be great but there's a few who've fallen flat on their face.

Watch him take them from league one to the Champions League in 6 seasons. Stuff like that doesn't go unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but it does mean some advantages. Much better players and coaching staff will want to play for and work at Oxford under Frank Lampard than under someone who has been promoted from the local council Most appointments are a gamble. If you are stuck at the same level it's worth a go. Oxford aren't stuck which would make this a bigger gamble. On top of all that they have a stand missing and the place smells of cows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Oxford is a funny one, the city itself is big enough but it also draws support from the towns around it which are all fairly big themselves. They're basically in that bracket of Swindon and Bristol City where for "small" clubs they have decent sized stadiums, and for "small" clubs they have a fairly large area to draw on for support, and if they had the right investment or right owners they could do a lot more than they already are. But like most they will probably languish around L1/L2, but I think Lampard could be an astute signing for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll definitely get the respect from other players and staff for no other reason than his playing career. I was generalising. I actually think that if it was something that interested him he would put his all into it, but with so much more to deal with than just the trainig and games it will be a challenge.
