Sam Allardyce picks manager he thinks Newcastle should hire, discusses Steven Gerrard

that he t🅺hinks Newcastle United should look at hiring Frank Lampard – but says Stevenও Gerrard will stay at Rangers.

Lampard, 43, is currently without a job after impressing as Chelse༒a gaffer before the transfer ban ended. Then, numerous new p💎layers came in.

It took the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner anౠ💟d more to gel – but not quick enough to save Lampard. He was sacked, and has been out of work since.

The England and Chelsea legend has been linked with the Newcast🥂le job, among others, since his exit. Eddie Howe is believed to be the fa🐼vourite.

It comes after Unai Emerᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy ruled out a move to Newcastle, despite some reports saying he had agreed a wage and relegation release clause.

Asked about Lampard🔯 and Gerrard, Allardyce said Gerrard will not leave Rangers – but Lampard would jump at the chance to manage Newcastle.

I don’t think Steven would leave Rangers at this point, winning every week to﷽ fight at the bottom of the Premier League,” Allardyce said.

“If I were Frank I’d jump at the chance. He’s rested, gained experience at Derby aꦚnd Chelsea – his first season was brilliant – he n🀅eeds to fight back.”

Newcastle ideal for Lampard, but is Lampard right for Newcastle?

Lampard’s CV is a short one when it comes to ma🐭nagerial expertise, and experi💯ence. He knows little about a relegation scrap, throughout his career.

Playing for ⛎Chelsea nearly his entire career, Lampard never really experienced fighting the drop. As a manag💞er, it is a similar story.

He f🎉o﷽ught for promotion at Derby, and the top four at Chelsea. He is a good manager, but perhaps not one that is ideal for Newcastle right now.

Howe is a much better option – given he has s𒀰pent years🌌 keeping Bournemouth in the Premier League, before the eventually went down.

Lampard would get fans on side, play exciting football and bring players in ✤– but Howe would keep Newcastle in the division.
