If it is Rooney or Lampard, I’m fine with this - I’d much prefer Rooney due to his connection with the club but as StevO has alluded to with Dunc, maybe it could work both ways.
I feel either appointment would bring a new direction and both would focus on youth and look to play decent football with ‘modern’ ideas.
For me, it’s as much as who they can bring with them in terms of coaches. I’ve seen Carsley mentioned with Rooney - he’s a really highly rated coach but I’d hope Lampard could poach this chap who he brought to Chelsea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Barry_(footballer)
An ex-blue youth who is widely thought of as one of the best.
Rooney and Lampard has done it all and will have that aura about them for younger lads to aspire to and that will be massive but this set of players need coaching - how many different ideas in the past 6 years or whatever? Gbamin has had more managers than starts since he’s been here!!!
Time to get it right Everton - Rooney or Lampard will be the face of it but we need to get it right behind the scenes - especially on the training ground.
