"People forget his first stint at Chelsea... a great appointment!" | Merse on Lampard at Coventry 👔

Yeah, I like it. I like Frank. I like Frank as a manager. People forget what he did at Chelsea the first time around. I know they had a transfer embargo, but the players he brought through, you know, was absolutely amazing. I'm a big fan of his. He loves football. He wants to get back. I think he proves that every time. If he loses his job, he wants to jump straight back on the horse and go again. He believes in his ability and I think this is a good job. I really think he can get these rolling. I think they're in a false position at the moment, Coventry, and I think they could get on a run. If they get on a run, who knows? They can get in the playoffs. There's a long way to go in this championship and I like the appointment. I'm really pleased for him and I really hope he does well. I really do. He's a good man. Yeah, and good to have more English coaches as well in these coaching positions and head coach Yeah, I think so. I think that's the main thing as well. That's another good thing. You know, we're talking about the lad at home, you know, talking about that coming in from Turkey. It's hard. It's hard. This is like the second best tier league in the world. There's no league like this, you know, underneath the Premier League. You know, you go to Serie A and the leagues below are nowhere near the standard of this. I think you need people that know their football. You have to have knowledge and, you know, I think it does help. It does help with being an English manager and I say that because you ain't got time to settle. You know, you haven't. The games come thick and fast now. The international breaks are over now till March and it is relentless. You know, I played in this league a couple of times and they come thick and fast the games now and it's the same with a player. You buy a foreign player, you've got to give them time to settle. You don't get a lot of time. You know, you play Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday. You know, you look at Middlesbrough, you know, talking about my old team, you know, they absolutely destroyed Oxford on the weekend. You know, three days later, they can't score against Blackburn. You know, that's how relentless and how hard this league is. So, I like the appointment of Frank. Yeah, I like it a lot.
