BEING FRANK
Congratulations to Frank Lampard, who has defied the odds to be named the new manager of Coventry City. In an age when people are losing their collective minds over the quality of English managers and the supposed opportunities they are failing to be presented with in the wake of Thomas Tuchel’s appointment of the national side, it’s good to know that Lampard is keeping the quota up towards the bottom of the Championship. “Frank cut his teeth [there] and knows what is needed in this league to be successful,” roared Coventry’s owner and chief suit, Doug King. “His experiences thereafter at Chelsea and Everton will ensure he brings to our talented squad clear understanding of exactly what is needed to succeed at the very top level that we as a club are striving to reach.”
